Mobile, Iphone 4 Reception | featured news

Phone calls might drop, but not complaints about problems with iPhone reception. Apple announced Friday that the company will discontinue its free case program at the end of September, a program that addressed reception issues with the new iPhone 4. Yet those reception issues haven't been fixed, Consumer Reports
argued Monday, and the consumer-watchdog group still can't recommend the new phone
.

Consumer Reports magazine said it can't recommend the iPhone 4 to shoppers because of persistent reception issues caused by touching the Apple phone, and raised questions about Apple's explanation for the glitch.

Facing complaints from users, Apple said the new iPhones use a “totally wrong” formula to display signal strength.
