Consumer Reports Does NOT Recommend iPhone 4

iPhone 4

Believe it or not, Consumer Reports does not recommend Apple’s latest iPhone. This is due to the iPhone 4 having major reception issues caused by the antenna being located around the side of the phone. When you cup your hand around the side of the phone, just as you would with any cell phone, the reception drops from 5 bars to 1 bar or “no signal”. Many iPhone 4 owners are plagued with this problem.

I recently took it upon myself to go into my nearest Apple store to do some of my own testing and to my amazement, within just a couple seconds of covering the antenna with the palm of my hand, 3 out of the 4 phones experienced a signal drop from 5 bars to no signal at all. Cnet recently ran a similar signal test as well.

I guess I can’t be surprised that the first of many class action lawsuits are stirring up against Apple.
