iPhone 4 Reception Issue In Photos

One of the major complaint regarding new iPhone 4, that currently flowing on the net is the receptions issue. Although no all iPhone 4 have this kind of problem, but many reports the reception totally gone when the iPhone 4 is hold in a manner shown below. That’s how right hand holding the phone on their left hand palm, and tap the screen with the right hand finger.

I’m not gonna go through that in detail as almost major tech blog has covered it, but I’m kinda interested with the images as reaction to this issue.

One users emailed Steve Jobs complaining about this issue, and all what he received from him is this respond.  “Just Avoid Holding That Way“. Apparently, that answer is backfired!  That’s how iPhone 4 is held, as demonstrated in Apple iPhone 4 demo video. So someone has taking out screen shot to prove that Steve statement is misleading. All this while, the phone was held that way.

So what is the proper way to hold iPhone 4?? Not sure if this picture is real, but logically that’s how iPhone 4 should be held, at least according to Steve Jobs reply. It is not the convenient way to hold the phone, but well..  people will adapt.

Appleinsider reported that the issue might get fixed on Monday via software update, but if you want to fix it now, get Sellotape and follow instruction here. But it seem like it is not 100% working according to some commentators.

Got it?

So finally iPhone 4 hit the stores yesterday in the US as well as 5 other luckiest countries. New iPhone means long queue. This views taken from Apple store in 5th Avenue (as well as other Apple store) is now common panorama whenever new iPhone released byApple. People are just so in love with iPhone that they’re willing to stand in very very long queue.

It’s been reported that some even willing to camp outside of the store as early as a week earlier in order to be the first to get one.  Yes, that’s right, a week before the launch, but apparently he is jobless, so he has nothing to worry about.

There is more photos about the ‘chaos’ caused by iPhone 4 at Apple stores and retailers on the link below. Business Insider apparently has more photos worldwide from Japan, UK and Paris. The craze is everywhere.  I’m wondering if our country are among the first  to get iPhone 4, would that madness can be seen here as well? Without doubt, I would say YES.

p/s : I love the first photo, Lego Apple 5th Avenue with queue as well (funny), and in case you’re wondering where it is, it is in the US, and the actual building is shown on the second photo.

iPhone 4 Release Date in Malaysia Is Still Uncertain

The iPhone 4 wonderfully crafted showcase from WWDC 2010 is still fresh in everyone mind. Obviously, it become talk of the town, instant hit news in the web, coffee shop conversation,  one of the most tweeted keyword in Twitter and everywhere else that possible to show how influence iPhone is.

I can guess that everyone are impatiently waiting for this phone to reach our shores, which still uncertain when it is going to be. Malaysia is definitely not in the first 5 countries to have iPhone 4, due to be  shipped on 24th June.

Adding more disappointment to many is, Malaysia is again left out from the next 18 countries to receive iPhone 4 by end of July. Our neighbor as usual get to hold iPhone 4 earlier than us as usual.

Unfair!

Excerpt from Press Release.

iPhone 4 will roll out worldwide to 88 countries by the end of September. iPhone 4 will be available by the end of July in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

From this source, “Apple hopes to add a further 24 more countries in August, and then a further 44 in September to bring the tally to 88 in time for Christmas”, so the earliest iPhone 4 possibly be here is on August, and the worst is on September.

Maxis does provide 2 hints when iPhone 4 will be available here based on these tweets, but again it is unclear when. Q3 could be anywhere between July to September.
