Wow, that really changes everything. Again.

Just announced from Steve Jobs! New Apply iPhone 4s will come with molded case to fit nicely into your right hand, and make it insanely awkward to hold it in your left! Get your "upgraded" new iPhone for only $50 more!

Get your pre-orders in now!

Is it odd that I can picture Stevie Jobs actually doing such a move?

[eglove]

nothing some duct tape won't fix


it's all at&t's fault

[tha_bandit]

Non issue. Just avoid holding it in that way.

It is not apples fault. It is your fault for using the phone wrong.

^I know, i've seen the same thing with other phones, I mean if u hold a small sony ericsson in your hands and cup it, it does lose a bit of the signal, but since the iphone antenna is actually in that location (left side, bottom), it actually sort of is a design flaw as most people hold the phone in that way...

Anyways I'll leave that to the engineers at apple, I just love the way Steve replied to that email, LOL "avoid holding it that way", what if its comfortable and I want to hold it like that LOL!

I give it 2 days till apple flips this as a new feature to end calls.

You'll go buy a 4 like a good little consumer. At least you aren't like me and bought a trackball blackberry a month before the touch ones came out. Now I'm locked into a 2 year contract with a phone that breaks if you look at it funny.

[shakalaka]

Just don't hold the phone in that position...it's what I plan to do anyway. Make sure you don't have your finger on top right of the phone, that's pretty much it

iPhone 4: we hate you southpaws

Or hold it in your left hand.
Or have your palm at the bottom left.

[Shunsui]

That's because the silver lining around the new iPhone is actually the antenna. In the 3gs the antenna is inside the unit but in the iPhone 4 it's externally to, get this, get a stronger bar connection.

there is screen defects now too..

You need the app that tells you if you're holding it right.



In apple's defense tho, this does happen with some other phones too (I believe this happens with the nexus one)

[GoChris]

The nexus one does not drop calls depending on how you hold it. I've only ever dropped a call due to weak signal (going up or down a hill, basement, etc).

This flaw is funny though, amazing it got past testing. Actually, it probably was know, but Apple doesn't seem to give a fuck, just hold it different they say....wow. lol

Now you see why they are selling a $0.10 bumper case for $29
