  • Go hold a car antenna, or a string antenna from your Sirus radio. ENOUGH SAID. Dumbasses

  • DUDE!!! NOBODY HOLDS A PHONE LIKE THAT!!!

  • i'm using my iphone 4 with t-mobile. no reception issues.. someone told me its because apple coated the antenna with a non conducting coating to help fix this issue.. must have worked.. unless it's just ATT shit service as usual..

  • i can't resist to say that with all that hand going up and down you're basiclly masturbating your Iphone! u know u love it ! :)

  • yes I have the same problems... it's basically useless without the case...

  • how hard are you holding it, in every video i've seen, ppl hold it so hard that it looks like it will brea! When i hold my iphone 4 that hard, it has problems, but when i hold like i usually do, i don't have any problems!

  • @yankeefan610 Even when I hold it that hard, I could not produce the same results. Maybe I'm not holding it right? I think this whole thing is blown out of proportion. I lost 1 bar in the process and I think that was because it fluctuates between 3-5 bars in my room. So it went from 5 to 4, not so bad if you ask me. I was able to load webpages just as fast with a death grip.

  • piss off people who hate it , you actually had the effort to search apple sucks on the youtube bar cause your an poor asshole who lives in a council house buy a nokia you twats

  • @craphead224 actually, some of the nokia phone is way more expensive than iphone. Having an iphone doesn't mean you're rich. it means u just want to be like everyone else that think they're cool holding the Iphone. Too bad they aren't.

  • Apple is just a retard

  • Haha suckers, iphone is a banger. What sort of fanny would buy this major fuck up!?! Only the fucking apple geeks, thats who! The type of people who would buy apple just to be in that club, fucking losers!!!

  • @condowallace I dunno. Look around you. Now count how many iPhones you see. Now repeat your comment out loud for all of them to hear you. Lol. This isn't a major fuck up, it's just blown up news that the media uses to make money off tards like you.

  • I wonder why no one has tried holding a different phone in a stupid way to intentionally try reducing the service...hmm

  • and to this I say android. Even when you jailbreak an iPhone all it really is, is a stock android phone. Root an android then you really have something.

  • i don't understand people who's commenting here, i mean that's a normal way to hold your Iphone/any phone in portrait view while browsing the net with your right hand.

  • so hold it the more efficient way!! Get over yourself. Nothing is perfect.

  • so simple,dont hold the phone like a morron and your good.

    people are so gay

  • Jesus this is so embarrassing!

  • is everybody in the world left handed? i dont hold the phone like that. majority of america is right handed. Idk about everyone else but i have a life and dont sit here worrying about signal reception ona fcking phone

  • iPhone4 sucks. Both mine and my wifes one had problems and then both replacements had problems which were unacceptable. Sometimes my sound would stop working for no reason and my wifes screen wouldn't turn on even after restarting it. It really turned from an awesome anniversary gift to a shitty one. You'd expect you would get something good for how much it is hyped up to be.

    Oh yeah and I also confirmed the antenna issue. I didn't buy the cases, I thought Apple were jokers by that stage.

  • That's coz your touching it's penis (antenna).

    I phone 4 is very sensitive you know. :/

  • Iphone 4 late september coming out with a new antenna design..

  • Not everyone has this problem though. You might just be one of those less than 1% of users who have the problem. That's what the case is for. But, this isn't a major design flaw. It's just being built up to be one.

  • who the fuk holds their phone like that

  • funny thing is my iphone 4 doesnt have this problem xD

  • the way i see it this would only hapen if you are left handed...

  • @mynamis88

    People normally are ambidestroux enough to hold it on either hand, use your left hand to hold your phone and tell me it's not natural, you do it all the time for example when taking notes, or doing anything else during a call.

  • @ArmandoXIII well im not making an excuse i was just saying

  • @mynamis88 Well I am right handed and I use my right hand to operate. So it happens for right handed people. Even when you hold it in your right hand, your pinky or other fingers bridge the gap as well. When I had my iPhone I would just place it on my desk to use it and just use one hand to type whilst the other held the top or bottom face of the unit.

  • Is this really what all this media attention is about ha ha ha end of the world, next..

  • samething on the samsung wave... sad but true... I think we could call that a fail?

  • I made an iPhone 4 antenne fix US+AT&T only, not free. supports all windows

    32 bit: bit . ly/aJMEjF

    64 bit: bit . ly/9ozctx

  • all smart phones do this fucktards.

  • @0neofthem

    hahaha u gay fanboy let it be the iPhone 4 sucks anyway.. 3GS was much better

  • this is stupid why would i ever hold it like that.

  • @sonarus if you are using internet.

  • i put my hand like the to call someone XD

  • Consumers are stupid. They agreed to the easy solution Apple offered them. WTF is wrong with you guys? fuck Apple and their 'tape' solution shit. They MUST test their products PROPERTLY before they sell it. Get your fucking money back RIGHT NOW.

  • What if you hold it gently only at the bottom?

  • even though the antenna problem is true! but you made this video up!

  • I'm not expert on iphones or anything although i think its over rated, why don't they just move the antenna?

  • You made your point about half way through the video, we get it.

  • @patrickbrine He wants to prove it wasn't coincidence?!

  • sad

  • ONLY RETARDS hold their PHONES like that......! GOSH!...whats up!?!

  • @JesseScotts

    you hold it with 1 finger in your ass? i bet so, and the other 'finger' is in steve jobs rectum.

  • my ipod touch got the same problem!!!

  • i usually keep a bumper on the phone just to keep it nice, but i did go at least a week w/o one and had no reception/antenna problems until i cupped it like in the video. who would acutally uset the phone like that? no wonder the antenna cuts out- the phone is saying your a fuckin retard for holding it like that

  • Comment removed

  • So much for this being a continuous shout... since there's text involved we don't know what you're doing..

  • @techku See the other video that is continuous shot- you can click on the link when this one starts playing.

  • so, you hold in your hand the phone that way to make phone calls and surf the web???? I think people don´t understand yet,iphone is not a toy, and definetly is not a ordinary phone, it is a portable computer,you can´t ask for the most perfection, blackberry is not even a 10% of the iphone, nokia, and samsung don´t even exist compared with iphone,I´ve had all these devices, so I talk with reason,i have been iphone user since the first one and I tell you I´ve never held iphone on my hand like that

  • hehehe just got the 4g and this is EXACTLY what happens. Apple really screwed up here. How didn't they see this before putting the phone out there?

    oh well, dumb rubber bumper....here i go

  • (bumper pack) Apple has indicated that this is not a long-term solution, it has guaranteed the offer only through September 30th, and has not extended it unequivocally to customers who bought cases from third-party vendors. We look forward to a long-term fix from Apple. As things currently stand, the iPhone 4 is still not one of our Recommended models

  • Apple fanboys are like religious fucks! They don't want to hear the truth and you can't convince them that this is a majure failure from apple...

  • @Daymack iPhone is not the only phone with this problem.....

  • @Daymack not the first fucking time...lol

  • @Daymack Didn't you hear? Steve Jobs is God? I thought everyone knew. Ahah there's going to be an Apple cult soon. It will be a bunch of nerds shaving their heads and worshiping apple trees. It's going to be awesome for the rest of us who get to laugh our asses off at them. I think the Apple corporation should have to go in front of a court for brainwashing their victims.

  • @Daymack Not particularly, I have the newest iPhone and it hasnt been a problem for me so far. For the signal loss to work you really do have to hold it like you're trying to break it, but I have my free case on its way so it is really not worth the whine.

  • @Daymack amen bro!

  • @Daymack why you are trying to convince them from the opposite? this is the problem against the fanboys haters....

  • Comment removed

  • viva droid X

  • @JEFFMELO driods have that problem too

  • Last comment in video is true. Apple may have a huge design flaw. You think you're designed perfectly? Even u as a human being have design flaws. Get a life Losers and stop making vids on the antenna problem. U can live with it by tilting ur phone sideways. That way u wont have any problem while surfing the web on the iPhone. And no one holds an iPhone like that while talking you retard

  • @speckyboy

    For that price tag, I shouldn't have to hold a phone in a particular way to deal with signal degradation issues. That's just pathetic.

  • i dont cup my phone that way man ...

  • i still have my phone... i bet u do too lol but seriously try using ur headphone if u really have issues seriously... u might wanna return ur iMac while ur add it! lol

  • Oh and one more thing, if you buy a 200-300 dollar phone, wouldn't you think you would buy a case for the thing? I mean accidents do happen.

  • What's funny is I own the iPhone 3G and I have similar antenna issues. Except with my phone it's if I'm holding it period. I have to set it down for the internet to work better without WiFi. So I really don't see a difference. But regardless of the issue it's still a good phone and despite Steve Jobs' speech, I will still continue to buy the product.

  • It's the same issue for every smart phone. Buy a case.

  • @imattie707

    The case design is...right now, Apple's answer. They just dragged RIM into the argument, claiming that RIM suffers the SAME problems, which is LUDICROUS! RIM doesn't even use the same antenna design. They just came out with a press statement and gave Apple a royal asskicking for doing what it does best........deflecting attention away from itself.

    It's just another example of Apple's inability to grow big and man up when they make a mistake. Steve Job's inferiority complex.

  • @TheUberDeity you're clueless. Clearly you're just a jealous PC jockey hoping not to feel so inferior.

  • @bigmartin3000 PC jockey? lol? besides, what makes mac better? let me guess, for the exact same reasons as all pc users say that PC is better? not that you have as many arguments, as mac simply doesn't do as much as pc in the world of casual users, gamers and people who code programs designed to be seen by most of the world rather than just mac users with their tar.gz files or whatever

  • @bigmartin3000

    Ahhhh yes, I'm jealous of a company that cranks out overpriced computers with embarrassingly slow, pathetic hardware that gets snickered at and ridiculed by anyone with a beginner-level tech-knowledge in their brain.

    Yep, you got it, kiddo! :) Hahahaha!

  • This video shows that when you put a bumper on the iphone4, it will totally rock. It looks like it is loading the CNN webpage about 4x faster than my Motorola Droid on Verizon. What area do you live in? Maybe the iphone4 will make the AT&T network pretty tolerable after all

  • just another proof of iPhone4 flaw design, yet Steve still tried to denying and play around with it. plus, Apple fanboy continue to defense iPhone lol

  • is it only for left handers or for everyone???

  • i have the iphone 3gs andi have trained myself to hold my phone a way which does not cover that area of the phone but how different is the design of the new iphone and how different does it feel when u hold it compared to the 3gs?

  • SOPHIE

  • Iphone = big shit

  • Obviously I can tell by your wrist that you are squeezing the iPhone. How many people hold an iPhone like that!?!

  • So you can't find any flaws with the iPhone 4 so you hold it in an awkward position to try to not make it work? And then you call it a problem...

  • You and the rest quit complaining about the phone I have one and haven't had a problem yet. By the way you don't hold your phone that way. Come on now, you palm a phone like a basketball, you and everybody else are just looking for a handout, pathetic.

  • iphone story goes like this. They creat iphone ... people wait outside the showroom shouting as if they get some kind of immortality pill. Later they realise they got some hell pill.

  • anyone who holds a phone like that is a retard

  • @saintjakk Kind of missing the point there mate. When paying big bucks for the latest technology - you should be able to hold the phone how ever the hell you want!

  • the antennas are shorting out. if you put a case on it the issue will go away. to me it sounds like apple should of coverd the antennas in some kind of thin plastic to keep this issue from happening.

  • well if i tried talking on the phone like that i would look like an idiot

  • Nice video. I hope you approve my video of me showing the iPhone 4 with a non-existent antenna issue.

  • @aok116 Because people don't pay lot's of $ for a device like the Iphone to stick duct tape to it you retard...

  • Who cups their hand like that to talk on a phone??

  • @rlhuszar323 This is a very normal way to hold the phone when you're using the Internet, and that's one of the major problems. The antenna flaw chokes off your data flow, just as it causes the phone to drop calls.

  • @rlhuszar323 unless you want the phone to float like in space.

  • @rlhuszar323 Actually this is the natural way of holding the phone while surfing. Everyone holds it like that.

    You don't hold your phone at the top, do you? Everyone of course holds it at the bottom, bridging those antennas.

  • @rlhuszar323 I do (I'm left handed). It's the only natural feeling way to hold the phone for me. Oh and I've held my iPhone 2G, 3G, and 3Gs this way without any issues. Nuff said.

  • @rlhuszar323 just everyone

  • @rlhuszar323 Apparently this guy because it's the only thing he can find to rip on the iPhone for...

  • @rlhuszar323

    everyone? how do you hold it? using your finger tips gets you tired during long calls.

    Also when you are browsing or using the apps, that's how you hold an iphone.

  • @rlhuszar323 lol everyone does i do with my touch its comfy? how do u do it lmao grab only the bottom or som?

  • Why the fuck are you holding it like that? Are you retarded? Would it kill you to hold it differently? Holy fuck stop bitching...

  • @babicz This is for demonstration purpose. You should not watch this video.

  • IPhone is suck!! you better stick with Android!

  • oooo; heads are rolling at Apple..... this is inexcusable; their testers must have been stoned...

  • maybe but they don't const 500$ without even working....

  • towel trick?

  • Wow. What a bummer being left handed with this phone.  Next time, Apple should hire left-handed testers.

  • Still the best phone on the market...

  • @swingitjack Finally, a sensible answer...

  • Is this real or another fake to hit company?

  • lol @ iphone

  • LOL. i would like to see stevie jobs open up a can of whup a__ on his design team. where's THAT video?

    I dont like apple anyways. greedy guys. not unlocked phones.

  • buy a case poor ass bitch

  • @ORTONISLIKEGOD You not understanding..

    Apple making you buy a case when they knew about this problem is fraud, misleading and illegal.

  • @Borridd I honestly dont think they caught that one. Thats why I always wait about a month after a new product comes out to let them dial it in. My phones will always have cases anyways so it makes absolutely no difference to me at all with this problem. I am waiting for the white Iphone though. The thing is people can always take the phone back within 30 days for a refund, so If you dont like the phone take it back and get something else. People bitch because its Apple envy thats all.

  • Lol I was holding the phone the way ur supposed to to get the best signal and I had 3 bars, then I moved my hand on the antenna then I got 5 bars. Lol I'm conductive!

  • Iphone 4 only for only for right hand

  • I want to buy iPhone 4,but I was afraid about the problem of it.

  • who even holds your phone like that????

  • @ledukas. It's not spelled "moran," it's spelled "moron," you moron... I take it your an android fan? That's great bitch.

  • take a small piece of tape and cover that area up DONE or get a case

  • Hey, here's an idea....put the fucking phone in a fucking case and "twalah!" Problem is solved. I don't know a single iPhone user who doesn't have a case on their phone; go figure. But of coarse if everyone wants to keep bitching like little sissy girls then go right ahead, or just go get your damn Android phone, and be done with it.

  • @zagnit GOOD IDEA!!! lets put all Iphone fans in to one BIG case and throw them in to the river... :D the world would be much nicer place...

  • @zagnit moran... Lets put all Iphone fans in to one fucking case and throw them in to the river :D woohhooo .. I bet that wouldn't solve problem, in three months we should repeat it and again and again ...

  • who the fuck holds there phone like that hahahahaa i mean WTF hold it normal booosh no probs then

  • What a retarded way to hold an iPhone ...

  • @basket4life2 completly agree who hold a phone like that

  • @basket4life2  init just hahahaha no wonder it fucking looses signal

  • Sucks to be a lefty huh

  • @harmers111  hahahahahhahaaaa

  • There is an app to fix the antenna problem... LOL

  • @nori213 I dont wish i had an iphone, lets be real here, its not a fuckin lambo, its a fucking ugly ass piece of shit phone you brainwashed piece of shit get a life and quit sucking on your mommas saggy as titty. If I actually wanted one I could go to att store down the street switch carriers WITHOUT paying a termination fee cause im in the military and we got it like that. So how about you got to your room lube up your iphone and shove it up your ass you pussy ass bitch.

  • retarded phone, buy nokia 1110 ;) best phone ever.

  • @LoLuTz2007 rofl nokia sucks ..they should do something new with their phones...

  • apple = dead.

  • I thought it just works?

  • Apple said it was 'stunned' to find that its iPhones have for years been using a 'totally wrong' formula to determine how many bars of signal strength they are getting. Since Job’s first fix 'you’re holding it wrong' did not sell very well, he now has the solution: Use software to pretend that the hardware is working.. Oh, and that new software will also make you weigh ten pounds less and will add 10K to your bank account!! LMFAO

  • @aspirepictures

    he says @1:40 that the flaw is his IPHONE NOt all the IPHONES..

    even though the FLAW is APPLES fault. NOMATTER WHAT! ! !

  • one easy way to fix this flaw, just dont hold your phone like a robot... spread your fingers out and that loading pause wont happen

  • iphone for life!

  • Who the fuck holds their phone like that, asshat? I don't think Apple has a "major design flaw" I think you have a major asshole flaw.

  • @aspirepictures LOL APPLE FANANATIC IDIOT STILL TRYING TO BACKUP IPHONE. LOL IDIOTIC RETARD.

  • DROOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDD­DDD, Iphone 4 = EPIC FAIL!!

  • @offthewallsurfer HAHHAHAHA THE DROID FUCKING SUCKS! U WISH U HAD AN IPHONE! DROID IS SOOOOO WACK! IPHONE IMITATION BUT WILL NEVER BE A FUCKIN IPHONE U FAGGOT!

  • @Nori213 your retarded. the droid does have some things about it that are better than the iphone. a full keyboard for example. it was slimmer than the iphone 3gs. i liked the OS on the droid better. plus the droid doesnt pull this shit.

    PS dont call me a droid fanboy, i used to have an iphone and i switched over to a droid. the droid is much better in my opinion

  • @mrsegger I DONT like the physical keyboard thats why I bought an Iphone in the first place because I kept pushing the wrong buttons on my Blackberry; which actually was a great phone just my fingers are kinda big. I did like the track ball on it though. I have some friends running those android and droid phones and I still think Apple has the best mobile OS out there so Im gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Maybe you could mention why you like droid OS better; I hear its very buggy.

  • i wouldn't call that a "major" design flaw. And, like others have noted, who really holds their phone like that? Also, you know if you put your thumb over the speaker you wont hear any sound, so don't put your thumb over the speaker.

  • Weird! I don't think I'll buy one until they figure this out.

  • I believe that only the 16g have this problem!

  • watch what happens when i throw the phone across the room

  • will it blend?

  • I just watched this on my iPhone 3GS, and what do ya know?? I'm holding just like he was when it was playing up(at the bottom), so because I hold my phone like this, should I be waiting for them to fix it before I upgrade? They knew how popular it was goin to be, poor quality control and insufficient testing, that's what I think

  • LMFAO FUCK THE IPHONE 4 JUST BECAUSE OF THIS EVERY OTHER PHONE ON THE MARKET IS BETTER THAN THE IPHONE 4 NO OTHER PHONE THAT IS OUT RIGHT NOW HAS ISSUES WITH RECEPTION I CAN IMAGINE TRYING TO HOLD THE ISHIT 4 IN MY HAND HITTING THE CALL BUTTON PLACING THE PHONE ON MY EAR AND BAM!!! THE CALL IS DISCONECTED HAHAHAHA FUCK APPLE

  • I'm confused now.

    Should i "Like" this or "Not Like" this??

  • @Xaio30 Like, like to unlike :)

  • @Xaio30 LIKE, its very helpful!

  • Apple iPhone: disconnecting people.
