Apple has released their official statement on the iPhone 4 non-existent approval numbers. What is the experience of four iPhone users when they caught the bottom left is their only real signal, bad as it seems. Your ringtone far concealed by deceptive signal bars, which naturally tend to exaggerate the level of the signal due to a bad formula, in the iPhone software.
Apple's statement on the iPhone 4 reception issues (which they previously dismissed as nonexistent), says that all phones have issues in areas of poor signal and it's just that the iPhones show the available signal in a wrong way. Apple plans to fix that with a software release that should make graphical representation of available signal more real. End of problem.
We've seen examples of Apple’s hypocrisy many times but this is just too much. To treat millions of customers who paid big money to have your latest product as a flock of sheep is just outrageous.
How on Earth could an erroneous signal indicator be the reason for dropped calls/reduced data rates? And what is that magical firmware that will bend the laws of physics and improve the iPhone 4 reception when you are holding it… you know… the way you've been holding every other phone you've owned so far?
Apple also dares take a hit at other phones (Motorola, Nokia and RIM) for losing some signal strength when held in a specific way. This is true, of course, but much like Apple’s statement that “iPhone 4 makes video calls a reality”, the implied by this one is ridiculous in much the same way. No other handset loses as much signal when held in a natural way, let alone drop calls because of this.
So yeah, thanks for the effort Apple, but no thanks.

Apple iPhone 4 sells 1.7 million in just three days
Mind blowing! If I had to guess how many Apple iPhone 4 has managed to grow in three days, 1.7 million can you imagine it? And I could be wrong, because that is exactly what they sold. We wrote four iPhone shortage, but when it comes to around 1.7 million units sold in just three days, perhaps more appropriate to call it overwhelming, I can not believe it, real demand instead of shortage. Moreover, starting tomorrow, AT&T should be able to offer appointments in sales - they could do so far, due to overwhelming demand. Even Apple impressed, "says Steve Jobs -" This is the launch of most successful product in Apple's history. No, really? The iPhone 3G and 3G sold only 1 million in three days, so yes, we could say that iPhone sales in April are very good. Mr. Jobs also apologizes "to those customers who were turned away because we did not have enough supply". No mention of all
those customers crying foul over the poor reception. They were told to stay tuned even though there was no problem (aside from users holding it wrong that is). Makes sense, right?
