I could turn that around on you, sir.
I long ago decided that it was in my best interests to not take anything on the internet personally. The above was a jab at you, simply because I am mean-spirited like that and thought it was funny.
And because I knew you'd catch it.
Anyhoo, a timely
article posted over on
some other site claims that a fix is forthcoming. Apparently the problem isn't with the phone itself, but rather with how it reports signal strength. So, y'know, no problem. It's the carrier's fault. Apple did nothing wrong.
Bizarrely, Apple also claims that the problem affects the earlier iphone models, despite no noted issues of increased call drops on the 3GS and earlier. Hmm.
So their software 'fix' changes reported signal strength, but will in no way reduce the number of dropped calls. If you had a 3G or (god forbid) a dumb phone that got reception in a location your iphone 4 does not, Do Not Be Alarmed. Mr. Jobs says all is well.
