Anonymous, 21 Jul 2010Exactly. 5 billion people use cell phones, Apple sold some... 50 million? Of all four versions... moreBut not all 5 billion people use high end smartphones. The iphone which ever way you look at it belongs to the High end sector and judging by the figures released they certainly have a "DEATH GRIP" on that market sector.
Sure they got a few problems with the Iphone 4 but it's all about selling phones, if you don't sell, well let's just say ask Ollie Pekka Nokia CEO about to be ex'ed.
Like I said before am Nokia Share Holders would welcome Steve Jobs to be CEO with both open arms, legs butt chicks and all.

Pretty soon Apple will buy Nokia just to shut it down and clean the market of the crap phones they make.
so the antenna complainers will no longer bother us

Keep on talking about the antenna nonsense while APPLE prints billions :
CUPERTINO, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2010 third quarter ended June 26, 2010. The Company posted record revenue of$15.7 billion and net quarterly profit of $3.25 billion, or $3.51 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $9.73 billionand net quarterly profit of $1.83 billion, or $2.01 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 39.1 percent compared to 40.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 52 percent of the quarter’s revenue.
Apple sold 3.47 million Macs during the quarter, representing a new quarterly record and a 33 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 8.4 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 61 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 9.41 million iPods during the quarter, representing an eight percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter. The Company began selling iPads during the quarter, with total sales of 3.27 million.
“It was a phenomenal quarter that exceeded our expectations all around, including the most successful product launch in Apple’s history with iPhone 4,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iPad is off to a terrific start, more people are buying Macs than ever before, and we have amazing new products still to come this year.”
“We’re really pleased to have generated over $4 billion of cash during the quarter,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO. ”Looking ahead to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, we expect revenue of about $18 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share of about $3.44″

Anonymous, 20 Jul 2010In a way I'm glad that rim, nokia, htc, samsung, and motorola all reacted defensively to Apple... moreHeres another Nokia e72 at 10mm ,only .7 mm more then the iphone4 at 9.3 and no wrap around the side antenna.
So why do you think this new antenna design of apple is saving so much space to make a smartphone thinner.I'm sure nokia could make an e series at 9.3mm if they wanted to without this wrap around the side antenna idea.

The e73 is 1mm more at 10.2 and nokia didnt have to use that wrap around the side antenna.
Maybe the iphone4 has better reception then the 3gs when not touching that area but that doesnt mean it has better reception then any other smartphone out there.

That issue came out along with the attenuation and yellow tint spots issue. The 4.0.1 update fixed the proximity sensor issue for me, as it now works perfectly as it should.

NEW IPHONE 4 PROBLEMS!
I heard there are new bugs with the Iphone 4's Proximity Sensor. The proximity sensor on the iPhone detects if your face is close to the screen, like it would be during a phone call. If it does so, the iPhone turns off its screen to avoid any accidental input and save power.
The proximity sensor issue manifests itself by the phone incorrectly assuming that you aren’t holding the phone up to your head and turning the screen back on. This happens in the middle of a call and often results in your cheek doing things on your phone without your knowledge.

This antenna design, although criticized by many engineers, is also applauded by some engineers. It's a good start for Apple. And if there's anyone in the business who has the money and resources to pull this off EVENTUALLY, it would be Apple. None of them have the balls to go for this design despite all the benefits it brings, because none of them can afford to gamble. Well Apple can. And this little mishap will turn into another victorious leap for Apple in the future when they can make this external antenna design work. While others will be stuck with their internal antennas, leaving their phones bulky with less space efficiency for internal hardware.

The iPhone 4's antenna is the stainless steel band that runs around the edge of the phone. The antenna for WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS is the smaller strip beginning in the bottom left and running to the top, and the cellular radio for voice and data is the much larger strip running around almost three quarters of the phone.
Apple was going to apply an insulative coating atop the stainless steel. Perhaps even use diamond vapor deposition (like they did with the glass screen atop the iPhone 3GS) to insulate the stainless steel from users. We now know rather definitively that this isn't the case. Of course, the result is that anything conductive which bridges the gap in the bottom left couples the antennas together, detuning the precisely engineered antennas. It's a problem of impedance matching with the body as an antenna, and the additional antenna that becomes part of the equation when you touch the bottom left.
The fact of the matter is that either the most sensitive region of the antenna should have an insulative coating, or everyone should use a case. For a company that uses style heavily as a selling point, the latter isn't an option. And the former would require an unprecedented admission of fault on Apple's part.
