iPhone 4 having antenna issues! Watch out lefties!



The new iPhone 4 came out yesterday and already some issues have been found.  The biggest issue is the depletion of the 3G connection.  The new iPhone has its antennas wrapping around the phone in the metal casing, the wireless/blue tooth antenna going from lower left and up and around  to the top right.  The 3g antenna goes from the upper right and wraps down to the bottom left of the phone.  If you position your hand a certain way in your left hand, and the bottom left corner of the phone is hitting your palm, it (in a way) connects the two antennas and causes interference, and the 3g connection dwindles down to nothing.  When you take your hand away, the service comes back.  This also seems to drop calls, sense you lose service completely.  I am interested to see what apple's explanation/fix is for this.

This hasn't been known to be an issue in all the new phones, but it has been found in some.
