Consumers Union has decided not to recommend the iPhone 4

Consumer Reports (Publication of the American Consumers Union), to study the quality of a variety of goods, it said he could not recommend the purchase of iPhone 4 users because of communication problems. Moreover, even though all the other features of the new device such as a display with excellent resolution, excellent camera and improved battery life.

Employees CR conducted an experiment with four iPhone 4 purchased in various retail outlets in New York. The experiment was conducted in a special room, closed to external radio signals. In parallel, we tested several other phones that work with AT & T operator (iPhone 3G, Palm Pre).

As a result, it turned out that the problem with the loss of signal is only just the iPhone 4, which indicates it is on the unfinished construction of the antenna. Previously, Apple reported that the problems with the signal - it's just a bug in the device program, due to which the displayed signal strength is incorrect. Now, Consumer Reports has shown that this view is simply not baseless. As well as the position has no basis, that was to blame the operator AT & T (in fact it turned out that a level playing field test other models of smartphones worked perfectly normal).

The only solution is to provide employees with Consumer Reports, is simple and effective, although perhaps not the most aesthetically pleasing. They are advised to stick a piece of adhesive tape or other non-conductive material gap between the two ends of the antenna-frame at the bottom left of the device end. This method of working with the signal and resolves the problem.
