Back in July 2010, Consumer Reports had declined to recommend iPhone 4 due to its widely publicized reception problems.

    Why would anyone be surprised that the verizon model does the same as the at&t model. If Apple was to fix the reception issue, then that would be admiting guilt. Apple stood and said that the issue was not the phone as all phones are proned to the "Death Grip" Can you imagine if the reception issue was "FiXed" with the verizon model, that would open a really good class action for all the GSM owners, again as fixing the issue would show guilt.

    Consumer Reports has been a dieing company for some time now. The only time anyone hears about them at all is when it involved "iPhone", "antenna" and a phone carrier. It's all publicity. Apple has already addressed this. We need to stop enabling the media about a problem that does not even exists! Here is my proof that the iPhone 4 antenna issue isn't an issue; goo.gl/KfKsv

    Talk about clueless. If it doesn't affect you it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There is flaw in the design whether Apple admits it or not. If there isn't one then we should see the same design for the next iPhone.

    The iphone 4 is a flawed design and it doesn't work. That's why millions of people returned their iphones to apple and they're burrying them in the nevada desert like old atari cartridges.Really though, this attenna thing is old news. It's not bad at all unlike how the press has made it out to be. It only affect those in poor signal areas to begin with. Those of you who think people are stupid enough to keep a phone that can't make calls is even stupider than the person who would keep such a phone.

    death grip is apple's fault. low coverage dropping call usually phone company. but when someone with the same phone company, but different phone, gets a way better signal than you sitting right next to you, you start to wonder about phone again.
