When picking up a call, most of us grip the sides of the phone. But that shouldn’t be done when using the iPhone 4. Users have reported an issue in gripping the sides and slowly losing bars of service of their phone and then completely lose signal, the iPhone may only take about half a minute. This bug has been reported to the company and Apple has come up with some solutions. In a recent interview, Apple CEO Steve Jobs says to one iPhone user to “Avoid holding it that way.”
Another problem with the iPhone 4 is that when using the device the iPhone tends to heat up to a good warm temperature. Users have noticed their battery life being drained much more quickly than it should. This is a result of the iPhone warming when using apps or just checking your E-mail. One user from a blog states that "I was just on hold for about twenty minutes surfing the net and had just hung up when I got the temperature warning." The temperature warning is a warning message that pops up on the iPhone and locks the user out for a period of time to allowing cooling of the device. The same user witnessed a change in his battery life as well, and said, "Although my battery is already on 60% and it was fully charge charged earlier and I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary."
The iPhone four: a technological god or just a buggy system? I’m going to have to go with the buggy system. I have yet to see any proof that the iPhone 4 is better than any other phone on the market with all of its issues. I recommend if one is plotting to purchase this device that one should wait until Apple comes out with a new model or just not buy one at all.
