Having already discussed the problem with the iPhone antenna 4, what follows is to review and analyze a little the words of Steve Jobs in his conference devoted to talk specifically about the case .
What is meant, a quick read is that Steve said
1-All phones have the same problem as the iPhone 4
2-We just had bad press because they show users where to grab the q phone to signal fall
Both points are misleading.
But they are for different reasons. In one, Steve is lying, but in another is telling the truth. Confusing is not it? As in the speech of any good salesman, you listen, purchase, and only when the seller was, you start to notice that something does not close ... but it is too late.
Step
then explain what these are, in my opinion, tricks made by Jobs. To do this, I return to what I said at first.
1-All phones have the same problem as the iPhone 4
Sure, Steve Jobs hinted that. But he did not say . At least not in the way that anyone who is informed about the matter could understand that sentence. What Steve did was give a name and a definition of the problem, namely AntennaGate is called, meaning that if one holds the phone in a certain way, you lose signal and you can even lose coverage altogether in some cases . The name, clearly is less negative than that he had put on the web (DeathGrip). And the definition, but provides accurate information, ignores the real problem and apparently unique to the iPhone 4: no need to GRAB a certain way, just by touching the union of the antennas, the signal drops. This means that Jobs talked about a problem, when we all know that the problem is another iPhone 4. Rene Ritchie summarized and Seth Weintraub, the matter could be clarified as follows:
- Trouble Talking Jobs:
DeathGrip / AntennaGate: It happens to all phones market, entails grasping the phone in a particular way that makes the signal is affected.
- real problem suffered by some users of the iPhone 4:
DeathTouch / Finger Spot: It happens only to the iPhone 4; involves touching the bottom left corner of the phone in any way for the signal is affected.
Reviewing: Steve tells the truth, almost all phones have a weak point, a "AntennaGate" that causes you to lose signal in low coverage. What is omitted is that while you have other phones to grab the power cell, and keep it tight so that it loses signal (something that one can do on purpose, since it never grabs the phone so strong), the iPhone 4 just touch or just rely on that "point weak "to remain without coverage. Also, as you can read the statement from Nokia about it, other phones have this "weakness" in places where people usually do not touch the device while the iPhone 4 has it right where they will stop most hands in a normal posture for conversation. So Steve did not lie to say that all phones have a AntennaGate. The trap is that the problem of the iPhone 4 goes beyond that: they could not place the point of conflict in a less annoying.
Proof?
Users of the BlackBerry Bold 9700, Samsung Omnia 2, and the Droid HTC Eris (cellular Jobs used to show that it was possible to make phone competition also lost signal) just realized they could lose signal when Steve showed them how. But not even notice.
Many users of the iPhone 4, unfortunately, he was discovered alone.
Or with a little help, perhaps? This leads to # 2.

2-Us (Apple Inc.) just had bad press because they pointed to where users hold the phone to make q fall signal
have SOME reason. The power of the media can not refuse, especially when he himself (in a clever move) was used without any hesitation to support.
I return to what I said back line: If Steve is not taught to the users of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 how and where to grab his cell phone to make the signal falls, they did not realize. So: Is it not possible that many users of iPhone 4 discovered the problem the same way? Gizmodo and other sites were commissioned by videos showing the problem. Some users, whether suffering from the problem or simply discovered through web sites, also filmed the iPhone 4 showing the problem and put him in Youtube. As you might expect, everything can be reduced to a simple domino effect: more people knew, more people spreading information and so on until everyone echoed the iPhone antenna 4 and its problems (Hey, if even Whoopi Goldberg got into the subject !). This does not deny that there is indeed a weak point in the iPhone 4 in which one can contact to get the terminal in a certain way and make the signal drop. What it does is to ask ourselves: "To what extent the signal is affected because people will grab on purpose that way because he saw it on YouTube, and to what extent one can not normally catch him without anything happening? Of those who made it known that signal loses its iPhone 4 grabs if so how many are actually involved in daily use, and how have to grab a particular way to achieve the loss of coverage? How many have to grab the phone with insistence that the signal goes down, and many lose coverage by simply touching the place in a normal position?
Unfortunately, the limit is not clear. There are people who show that the touch that corner of the antenna, the signal drops. But there are also people who have to grasp strongly to decrease the bar. The first type of people have problems in the everyday cell phone. The second type of people, no. How many of each type are in total afflicted by "AntennaGate" iPhone 4? It is not known.
And that uncertainty, which uses Jobs. What his speech suggests (without saying it directly) is that the iPhone 4 has a weak point like its competitors, and you have to grab the phone in a particular way and little normal for the signal to fall, as well as about the terminals of the competition.

Thus, the problem is reduced the mere domino effect I spoke of earlier, according to Jobs, has no problems in daily use, just found out about the antenna because of the media. That's why shows videos of the competition having the same problem. The message that is given is "See how I can also use the media to make their users to discover the weakness of its terminals and start complaining that upload videos have bad signal." But as far as I know, did not. For surely there will be a group of people that if they grab your cell phone as indicated by Jobs, it loses signal. It is even likely to rise to show videos on Youtube. However, I do not think that people will complain something. Because the reality is that there were no problem with that sign in daily life, but in a race almost "experimental." Thus Who cares that the BlackBerry Bold may lose signal, if the use of normal form is not a problem? A user of Applesfera noted that, touching the SonyEricsson logo on your phone (do not remember the model), the signal is falling. But he also clarified that he did not care, if not walk all knew that playing the logo while talking on the phone.
short: surely, among the total cases of signal problems, there are people who should get the iPhone 4 strongly and in a normal little to lose signal, but that's not all. There are many people that just take the terminal normally, face the problem of signal. What Jobs did was mask the numerical quantity of the latter, even though he knows that many in the group with signal problems. It was so good with the press and its shareholders, because it says your phone has a common problem for all and that in fact the antenna design does not bring real problems to almost anyone.

However, although he says there is no significant problem, offers free blankets. And he does because he knows that people can make the whole world knows he's lying, so that they cover the mouth with a Bumper. Now if the numbers are close. Hardly anyone has problems with the iPhone 4 in daily use. Some because they are part of the lucky ones who never had the problem, and others because they now use a holster.
