Antenna breakdown with iPhone 4

Antenna breakdown with iPhone 4 the rapid test.

Suddenly broken off discussions on a new 1,000 euro-mobile phone: The excitement under Applefans is large, because that came iPhone 4 with antenna problems on the market. On Friday Steve Jobs explained: Other Smartphones would have similar problems. A test of the foundation goods test shows: That is not correct in such a way.

Owners iPhone 4 complain again and again about suddenly interrupted discussions. If they affect their equipment in the lower corners, the receipt sinks. The line partly breaks down. Background: Normally mobile phones carry their antenna in the plastic housing. There it is protected against direct contacts and receives well. Different with iPhone 4. the metal frame is the antenna. Who telephones with that iPhone 4, she touches directly. That disturbs the receipt more clearly than with other mobile phones. A similar phenomenon can be observed also with radios: Who touches the antenna, only noise and cracking hears.
iPhone 4:90 per cent less

The test in the laboratory confirms this: Already if a finger affects the antenna slot at the lower left corner, the receipt sinks with iPhone 4 by 90 per cent. In weak nets the connection with it can break off. Internet connections become tormenting slowly. There are weak nets not only in rural regions, but also in cities: for example in courses or in buildings with much reinforced concrete. Apple boss Steve Jobs admitted on the press conference on Friday: iPhone 4 loses more discussions than the predecessor model.
Other mobile phones: 25 per cent less

The foundation goods test measured the transmitting power of two further Smartphones. Also with them the receipt sinks with direct clasping of the housing. However only around 25 per cent. Thus discussions themselves are still possible in weak nets. Also the iPhone 3G with its antenna lying in the housing cuts off clearly better than iPhone 4.
Sleeve or tape

The problem iPhone 4 lies thus in the metal frame and the open-lying antenna, which should actually improve the transmitting power. Apple offers iPhone 4-Nutzern now a free sleeve, which takes the antenna off. Prospective customers can order it in the course of the week. Who would not like to wait so for a long time, can the antenna slot also with thick tape mask with tape. At a Designhandy looks not beautiful, however the problem reduces.
Problems since longer admits

The receipt problems iPhone 4 in the net and medial for some weeks are discussed. The American partner organization of the foundation goods test, Consumers union, publisher of the magazine �Consumer of report� reported last, on it and found large echo. This was possibly the last impact for from Apple on Friday evening of Central European time organized press conference.
