Antenna Attenuation iPhone 4 - Antenna Wireless Testing Lab Tour

[counterpart2]

how much cents they spent on the RUBBER BAND

a rubber baaaaand !!!! how thoughtful of them

[iryan74656]

Apple might be broke now spend that $100,000,000 on a test room.

[thebashersplace]

@iryan74656 haha yah right, they have sold 3 million ios4 products and 16 billion apps and say the average app cost 5 bucks(some more some less) that is quite a bit of money made from files that are downloaded and require no maintenance, and the money keeps pooring in.

[ItisI111]

Need a rubber band? There's and App for that.

[Moutassim]

Spent $100.000.000 and they still hold the phone with a rubber band for testing. Genius, no wonder they failed miserably.

[1016JP1]

"Every phone has weak spots" - Steve Jobs. That is total BS!

Apple should have tested it's antenna in the real world, not some wasted money chamber. Why the hell would an average person be making a call in a chamber.

So dumb.

[1111mehmet1111]

why are so many people complaining about the antenna problem? dude I bet 9 of the 10 people who comment such things about the problem doesn't even got an iphone 4, stop complaining assholes.. like only 1 of the 300 people has it. I tried evrything to drop my signal, i holded it as hard as i could, i even taped it. mine isn't dropping even not 1 bar, those of my friends doesn't also. they don't fail to make an antenna, it's just u fake people who complain

[nuwan86]

@1111mehmet1111 "people are always complaining, the minority of whingers are always the loudest"

[mlgrd]

Someone please tell me why they spent ONE HUNDRED FUCKIN' MILLION on an antenna. And do you know whats funny? The iPhone doesn't have an antenna.

[rayshinn1]

@mlgrd ...yes it does

[xiphiron]

$100 million = faulty antenna.

Apple, Fail.

[josh65780]

they have $100 million for an antenna lab but not $200 to replace my jailbroken ipod touch. lol

[Thetrutv]

It’s a shame that they even upload this video after all that antenna problems. They have failed! Apple has always made third world products I phone 4 is a good ensample, this thing is full of old technology and it doesn’t even work! a $100.000.000 antenna test facility?? The only thing amazing here is that it doesn’t work after they spend that much money designing a bulletproof test facility

[po3tik1]

amazing.. with a budget that big you would expect them to do a better job at creating a functional antenna... yet the older design seems to work better... what kind of crappy testing facility do they have if they can't pick up the flaw in their new design?

what engineer couldn't have figured out that having an external antenna with the possibility of left-handed users 'shorting' it would actually make the signal worse? it wouldn't take a genius to figure that out... shiet man! apple = faiL!

[4ntowns]

@po3tik1 Theres nothing wrong with the antenna in case you didn't realise. Its the way they've placed it that has caused problems. If you noticed, all phones have interference points and it all just depends where the antenna is. Obviously they didn't place the antenna well and didn't test it correctly.

All they'll do is increase the power to the antenna and fry our brains and reduce the battery life.

[saladevingers]

bullshitty

[rob72]

exactly - THAT is even MORE embarrassing.

When the calls drop by puting the finger on ONE certain tiny spot (the slot).

*OMG*

Antenna fail? NOPE: EPIC ANTENNA FAIL!!!

[denyfate]

Look at our awesome looking room! it cost million of dollars! Therefore all you hear about our phone being faulty is TOTALLY untrue.. HERE LOOK AT BLACKBERRY BOLD 9700!! LOL it sux! /sarcasm

[4g63boosted]

$100,000.000  rubberband...wow!

[rafaorus]

inacreditável.... numa sala que custa 17 milhões, os produtos são presos com ELÁSTICOS DE PAPEL.

#OMFG

[123sid321]

so why does the iphone 4 sucks so much?

[yur0k]

And what happens if the cellular antenna is far away from the lab and thus from the phone? Did they use cellular antenna inside the lab 6 ft away from the phone? This doesn't make sense.

[JCRocky5]

You would think with all these tests carried out that they would have thought to use a human to hold the phone more than just one test, then maybe they wouldn't have had this problem with lefties.

[denyfate]

@JCRocky5 they did. just that they used a bumper for it! hence the gizmodo story XD

[ynorbertnetbook]

Someone send a left-handed tester for Apple

[Wiejeben]

Epic :P

[streeflaag]

SICK

[MrDrinksprite]

I think the problem is over saturated. I never lost calls using the death grip even thought I experience a drop in signal strength. Apple has done a great job by putting a wonderful device on the market raising the standards of smartphones again which in time benefits us all.

[Sruba380]

"The Obama Deception"  infowarsDOTcom or prisonplanetDOTcom !!

[dudiz33]

iPhone for is the best... Lol

[AronProductionsInc]

a $100.000.000 antenna test facility and they fail to make an antenna

[marco12en3]

hahaha

[1234drive]

A company that is worth $260,000,000,000 can not make an antenna that is worth $0.1

[4z4zel]

And Iphone 4 sucks totally.. well spend 100 mln :)

[AmpsNL]

How about hireing a left-handed engineer?

[AKARAPANSAWATDIPAKDI]

But why ????

Do the engineers forgot sonething ???

[jayeeboden]

i so wanna go there and see them facilities
