Did you not just read what i wrote? or are you simply ignoring it. I am talking about me holding MY phone. The same way I have held every one of the previous iPhones I've owned.

First translate most of what Soundburst and Vallhund say to 'Apple is my number one' and then work backwards.
It works for me. Then all becomes clear. |

Not had that problem with yours then?...oh wait you don't have one to know...you're doing that a lot lately.
FWIW I have a works one and I can make it do it but in my natural holding position it's not that bad. ![]() What I did say was that several mobile phone manufacturers warn you against holding the phone improperly. Mind does too. |

Yes of course you would have to have a Windows 7 Phone to know that it is selling poorly.

Why bring WP7 into this thread?
![]() My comment about the iPhone 4 was that it suffered signal loss when you covered the antenna, like lots of phones including my Nokia E72. |

No sh!t Sherlock!!
An astonishing fact that no one can deny. I think this proves that one can actually hold their iPhone 4 and use it. |

You suggested that I was making comments on things that I didn't own and I did mention in another thread that you needn't own an item to know that it wasn't selling well.
My comment about the iPhone 4 was that it suffered signal loss when you covered the antenna, like lots of phones including my Nokia E72. And as I said in the other thread, sales have nothing to do with how good a product is. Using your logic, OSX is a "dud" because Windows is outsells it by quite a few times. |

If anything, it was some Haiku.

Thanks.
I think this proves that one can actually hold their iPhone 4 and use it. Doesn't prove I can hold my phone and use it. Well actually I can as I have had to change how I hold my phone. But I know that as I own one of these phones |

No I genuinely hold it normally, I go to the gym but I'm certainly not that strong. Just holding it now in bed, if I hold it how I find comfortable I lose signal and data, I can hold it so it doesn't lose signal but it's not very comfortable. This is my issue that I have to hold a very expensive device in a way that doesn't suit me. Obviously within reason before people think I mean the wrong way round, upside down etc etc.
Maybe it's faulty although the guys at the genius bar wouldn't offer to change it. I have a bumper from the free program they did but it has scratched the metal band on my phone making it look bad ![]() It's also a shame to have to cover your phone up. But yes with the bumper on I do not get signal issues holding it the comfortable way, but I have to ask why do I have to have a bumper on to make it work? |

To be honest it sounds like you had a faulty handset.
Either that or you were trying to practically crush it while holding it. Or you were wearing some kind of metal shielded glove while using it. I don't seem to have the problem with the superior HTC handset. |

First translate anything from you. This guy doesn't like Apple and knows zilch about their products.
Then all becomes clear. The thread had been well and truly derailed before I even bothered to make one comment. Something to do with negative perceptions/facts that always get well and truly tackled? |

Whether or not some people here have or have not experienced it, I think it's a fairly safe bet that Apple will re-jig the iPhone 5 to remove the "Death Grip".
Apple has already changed the antenna for the Verizon version of the iPhone 4, which apparently doesn't suffer from the same problems... For the iPhone 5 itself, there is allegedly going to be a complete re-design, in addition to the usual upgrades. Some rumoured features: http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/14/e...-apple-tv-and/ http://www.macrumors.com/2011/01/14/...uture-devices/ - Apple "A5" system-on-a-chip, featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU & a PowerVR SGX543 GPU [Same CPU as in the BlackBerry PlayBook & as in the Motorola Xoom's Tegra 2.] Can't do much else with the screen (how do you go above "Retina"? lol), but logical changes IMO would be the usual ones such as increase the RAM (512MB in the iPhone 4), improve the camera, etc. |

I do not think you can remove a 'Death Grip', given a size of the phones, they all suffer it. iPhone has/had an additional sensitivity on top of death grip.

I was reading those articles on twitter Matt, looks like the next iPhone will be a powerhouse if it comes true!
Maybe i'll be sticking with iPhones at this rate as i can't see much that will compete with it. I wonder what time last year the iPhone 4 got "left" in a bar, as there seems to be a massive lack of leaks so far. Maybe its a bit early for all that Maybe "retina HD" or "super retina"
