According to a report on CNN.com, a solution has been found for the millions of sheeple consumers experiencing reception problems with their iPhone 4s: duct tape.
A damning Consumer Reports test found that touching the iPhone 4 with your finger or hand on the phone’s left side “can significantly degrade” the signal enough “to cause you to lose your connection altogether if you’re in an area with a weak signal.”
“Due to this problem, we can’t recommend the iPhone 4.”
The Consumer Reports conclusion sent shock waves through the industry as sheeple Apple owners everywhere worried that their precious iPhone 4s might be recalled.
The most talked-about phone in the U.S. — Apple’s iPhone 4 — has a design flaw that’s best fixed with a sliver of duct tape, according to Consumer Reports.
“It may not be pretty, but it works,” writes Mike Gikas on that nonprofit consumer group’s electronics blog.
The patch — which sounds like it’d be more appropriate for kitchen plumbing than for a phone that retails for $200 to $300, plus an AT&T contract — is supposed to correct an apparent problem with the iPhone 4’s metal antenna.
…if you slap a piece of duct tape over that antenna connection, the reception problems go away, the group says. READ MORE…
Duct Tape? LOL.
I have a iPhone4 and it works perfectly fine without duct tape! #Thatsall
LOLOLOLOL. hell naw, that’s funny. that’s what those fools get for just having to be the first to get this bs. too too funny.
I wish I would stand in line all night and pay hundreds of dollars for a phone, only to put duct tape on it…Yeah OK, that ain’t even sexy
All the suckers who waited in line must feel good about their piece of trash phone
This is why you wait until they fix the bugs and then you purchase…when will consumers learn
Duct tape really? If I was in high school I’d call that “nigga rigged”
Hey Family,
If I got to pay $400 – 500 for a phone, to put some duct tape on it?!?! I’d be back at the Apple store cussing out everybody before I got all my money back….
That is some “nigga rigged” mess! LOL
LMAO @ duct tape.
I wish I would.
I am so glad I did not cancel my service with Verizon and switch to AT&T. One of my friends works for AT&T, and he said he is so sick of fielding iPhone complaints. I ran out and brought the iPad and I’m pretty happy with that, except for when I’m somewhere with spotty Wi-Fi service.
But people who have those iPhone swear by them, but I don’t know, they aren’t a big deal to me.
I’m still laughing at the people that rushed out to buy this POS phone. That’s just tacky as Mr. Brown’s wardrobe. The EVO is way better
I’m an apple lover, but my phone is sprint, go palm pre!
