iPhone 4 antenna problem resolved?

Many of you people who were lucky enough to get your hands on Apple’s latest model of the iPhone were surely very surpised to see that the iPhone 4′s phone signal weakens when holding the bottom left side of the phone. Apple must have picked this up during pre-release tests, surely?

Apple has replied to all the people moaning about the issue and they say it is down to software rather than poorly designed hardware. Apple believes that it is simply just a display error and the phone actually has a much greater signal than displayed and promises a fix will be coming soon.

This “fix” is coming to all iPhone models, so it should display a better signal for even users with an older generation iPhone.

Apple stated “Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong.”

The rest of Apple's Press Release regarding the antenna issues can be read here.

It looks like the iPhone’s signal calculating ability is totally mixed up altogether and a fix should be coming soon to sort it all out. I'm sure that you iPhone 4 owners are very pleased to hear that.
