Also, why would bumper guards help with a SOFTWARE issue?

Holding it "the right way" and putting it inside a completely optional $30 upgrade makes the software suddenly calculate the correct value. DUH!

So that iPhone 4 bug where reception diminshes if you hold the phone a certain way? Turns out you weren't hurting reception at all -- the phone was just showing the proper reception. Finally.-http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/tech/Apple--97663404.html

mwb1100:
the only problem is with software that calculates how many bars should be showing. And the software hasn't worked properly since the original iPhone was released three years ago.

I think the problem is that the existing code looks something like:


--- ---    showbars = some_complex_determination_of_signal_strength();

and the fix is:


--- ---    showbars = 5;

The iphone pose, similar to Captain Morgan's! Oy. At some point, Apple users have to get pissed, right? Pissed enough to stop buying that junk?

Isn't that a bit of a stretch? :P

Kind of reminds me of this. And specifically this (more specifically, search for the word "claim" on that page).

:P

First gen... Bah!

Stoic Joker:
So you need a way to occupy your time while (desperately) searching for reception? ...We've got an app for that...
