"Antennagate" or in Romanian: the whole scandal related to the problems with the GSM antenna of the iPhone 4 terminal, had quite a big impact on the image of the best-selling smartphone in the world. In reality, the impact was so great that now there are still people who are afraid to buy an iPhone 4 because they think they might have problems with the signal. The problem really exists, so everything was real, but the impact on the possibility to use the telephone function of the terminal is more than minimal and should not scare you in any way.
"Antennagate" was forgotten, but now those from gdgt reveal a new possible scandal related to the cases for the iPhone 4 terminals. In the article written by them, information is presented that would have been received both from inside and outside the Apple company, and this information indicates that at the moment Apple has secret a scandal that could further affect everyone's perception of the iPhone 4 terminal. More precisely, those from Apple discovered that certain cases, especially those made of hard material that are fixed on the sides of the terminal, can cause scratches on the panel from the back, scratches that over time can turn into cracks along the entire panel. It seems that Apple no longer sells such cases in its US stores, but only the Bumper ones that are fixed exclusively on the sides and do not affect the glass panels of the terminal in any way.
It seems that these cases would block dust and other materials under them that could cause scratches on the phone's glass, scratches that would eventually turn into cracks in the panel. I for one have not heard of any such incident until now, but probably in the following days many "reports" about such experiences will appear. Have you met/heard of such a thing so far?
