AppleInsider | Wireless experts weigh in on iPhone 4 reception issues

AppleInsider | Wireless experts weigh in on iPhone 4 reception issues

Reception issues with Apple's recently released iPhone 4 have gone under the microscope, with two new in-depth reports testing a variety of methods on how to hold the phone, and the effects those positions have on signal.

Anandtech: Antenna is improved, but bumper is needed

Authors Anand Lai Shimpi and Brian Klug did a barrage of tests on the iPhone 4, as compared to the iPhone 3GS and Google Nexus One. They found that the new model gets the best reception of any iPhone, holding on to one bar with voice and data for longer than its predecessor.

"With my bumper case on, I made it further into dead zones than ever before, and into marginal areas that would always drop calls without any problems at all. It's amazing really to experience the difference in sensitivity the iPhone 4 brings compared to the 3GS, and issues from holding the phone aside, reception is absolutely definitely improved."

This is an excellent, detailed study of the new iPhone's reception issues. The verdict is by the bumper and you will get better reception than with the previous 3GS model.
