Consumer Reports has just confirmed what Engadget and the rest of the world already knew: the iPhone 4 has a serious design flaw. I hope Apple takes Consumer Reports’ advice and comes up with a free fix, but even if they don’t, I’ll still probably get an iPhone 4 when my local Apple store has them in stock. I always have a case on my iPhone anyway, so the reception issue shouldn’t be much of a problem.
It’s getting to the point where Apple is looking foolish for ignoring the design flaw and blaming it on the software. Now that just about everyone has confirmed and independently verified the issue, it would be nice if Apple acknowledged it too. I don’t think there’s any way in Hell they’re going to do something as drastic as recall millions of iPhone 4s, but they could at lease start handing out some free bumpers.
