iPhone 4S vs The Deathgrip

The iPhone 4S features a new antenna design over the iPhone 4. The new antenna promises to improve reception and reduce dropped calls. The biggest black eye for the iPhone 4 last year as that when held a certain way in less than idea coverage, it may drop calls and even lose service entirely. Here we test the new antenna for the deathgrip.

there's nothing new with design. Apple figured everything out when the moved the antenna for the CDMA model

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@baseballP25 No, the antenna is just different for CDMA, not redesigned as with the iPhone 4S.

I just received my iPhone 4S two days ago. My 3 bars of service go down to No Service is 20 seconds. So my iPhone 4S does have reception problems. I am waiting for my rubber band holder to arrive.

Can anyone record a video comparing iphone 3G, 4 and 4S reception in field test mode, please? (to enter field test mode simply call *3001#12345#*)

I've figured out, that mine old iphone 3G (running 3.1.3 software) has a better reception (-81dBm) than a brand new iphone 4S (iOS 5.0.1, -95dBm) on the same network (vodafone cz). Phones were laying on the desk next each other.

Try holding it with your right hand. My iPhone 4S has the "deathgrip" on the right side.
