On June 23, when the first signs began to appear that the iPhone 4 has signal problems, Apple posted on its website 2 ads announcing 2 vacant positions for 2 telecommunications engineers who specialize in the field of antennas for mobile phones. The job description sounds something like this:
"Define and implement antenna system architecture to optimize the radiation performance for wireless portable devices."
So inside the Apple company, the problem with the signal on the iPhone 4 is due to the bad positioning of the antenna and by no means to the wrong way in which people hold the phone, this is the conclusion I draw considering the 2 announcements published by Apple immediately after the owners of iPhone 4 have started to report that they have problems with the signal.
I know it's hard for a company like Apple to admit that the best-selling product has a serious functionality problem, but they should think about the long-term impact of the official position adopted last week.
