Lots of iPhone 4 users are complaining the lost of reception once they hold on to iPhone 4. We are not sure if he is holding on to anything else on the other hand, or is he shorting the circuits, but I feel that is something wrong with this. Surely Apple would have notice issues like this, if they do, why do they still do a external antenna? So I feel that there might be some issues with the antenna or at least the guy in the video might be doing something to it or holding it in a way that will cause the reception to drop?
One of the leading experts when it comes to mobile phone antennas, is Professor Gert Frølund Pedersen from Aalborg University’s Department of Electronic Systems. He mention that when human touches metal antenna, the reception might drop due to inhibitory effect. Check out his post here.

Apple iPhone 4 is yet to be launch in Singapore, thus I have no way to confirm on this issue, so let’s see when I get mine. [Gizmodo]
