First of all, the ‘grip of death!’ was not a complete shock.\u00a0 Based on my testing on the iphone 3 looking at the various ways reception can be compromised, I had a feeling that having the antenna on the outside could be an issue.\u00a0 And lo and behold.. It does.<\/p>\n
So, can software along fix this?\u00a0 Perhaps.\u00a0 Based on what I have seen, it takes time for reception to die out which could mean there is some sort of power drain when the two antennas are shorted out for a long time.\u00a0 Now how technically can they solve this I’m not sure.\u00a0 Perhaps apply more power to the antenna?\u00a0 Pulse the power to changes the sync’ing of the two antenna so they do not cancel each other out?\u00a0 I dont know.\u00a0 But I REALLY hope they explain it.\u00a0 And an old time geek, I would LOVE a full story on this.\u00a0 And I will of course update once I find out.<\/p>\n
But one other thing… its only been THREE DAYS since the iphone 4 has been out and already we have an update?\u00a0 And what about the dead camera issues that have been showing up on the boards?\u00a0 Will that get fixed too?\u00a0 Once thing about the update, will be interesting to see how it gets deployed eh?<\/p>\n
