Rumors Regarding An Apple iPhone Recall Are Rumors

A bogus tweet over the weekend had rumors flying that the Apple iPhone was being recalled.

They are false.

The Apple iPhone has been for sale just one week, some users are complaining of poor signal strenth and limited reception. Apples response to that is simply that the iPhone needs to be held a certain way. Apparently there are two antenas built into the band that wraps around the iPhone.

Apple spokesperson Nat Harrison added: “Gripping any phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone.”

The case you end up purchasing for your iPhone can actually help reception. Apple puts out the iPhone 4 Bumper cases with a retail of approximately $45 USD. Now this is a noticable cost, but perhaps your reception is worth it?
