Consumer Reports appears to still be ranting about the reception issues on the iPhone 4, this time they?re targeting the Verizon iPhone 4 and excluding it from their list of recommended smartphones.
For that reason, we are not including the Verizon iPhone 4 in our list of recommended smart phones, despite its high ranking in our Ratings. Although Apple no longer offers a free case to buyers of the iPhone 4, as it did for a time after the problem was first discovered on the AT&T version, the company has said in the past that it will consider requests for a free case from customers who buy the phone and subsequently experience reception problems.
Consumer Reports helped set off Antennagate when the AT&T iPhone 4 was originally released. After their initial review of the iPhone 4, Consumer Reports claimed they couldn?t recommend the iPhone 4 due to the antenna issues.
I don?t know about any of you but the reception problems didn?t ever affect me personally. Maybe because I always use cases or bumpers. (Who doesn?t put a case on a phone as expensive as the iPhone?) I guess I?m not quite sure why Consumer Reports is still ranting about the issues. Millions of iPhones later, people still want them. All phones have signal attenuation issues when held, not just the iPhone. Is it just me or is Consumer Reports making mountains out of mole hills? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
