After the launch of iPhone 4, then we realise the actual use of Apple&#8217;s iPhone 4 Bumpers&#8230; They are not really use to protect your iPhone 4&#8230; It is actually a savior for your iPhone 4 Antenna issues! Many users commented that after they use iPhone 4&#8242;s Bumper on your phone, there are no longer any lost of reception then they hold it the &#8220;wrong&#8221; way. So now we finally know the REAL USE of iPhone 4 Bumper, to save your iPhone from Reception Issue when you touch it. Here is a Video on iPhone 4 User, solving his reception issues by just slotting it into a old iPhone 3GS case, thus if we put iPhone 4 in any cases, should be able to solve the issues. So If you are facing iPhone 4 Reception Issues, you might want to consider buying bumpers and give it a try.. It might give you extra protection to your iPhone 4 and improve on the Antenna issues.]]></description>

We have posted about users facing Reception issues when they hold on to iPhone 4 in a particular way, there are rumors saying that those users might be holding on to metal objects or trying to short the circuit of the antenna. But Apple just confirmed that this is a known issue that if User hold the iPhone 4 on the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, shown on the photo above. No doubt, lots of users have sent emails to Steve Jobs regarding this issues, hoping that he will reply. This is a action seems so popular in recents days, as it seems like Steve Jobs is replying to a lot of user sent emails recently! This email was sent by Lucas, complaining on the antenna issue, and what did Jobs replied? &#8220;It&#8217;s not a big issue&#8221;! In Regards to this Antenna issue, Apple also have officially acknowledged and responded to this iPhone 4 Antenna Reception problems: Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas.

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Apple also mentioned that they will be updating the software of iOS 4 to resolve this issue, so we are not really sure if this is a hardware or software issue. Hopefully it is just a software issue, as it can be easily solve compare to hardware&#8230; [<a href="http://gizmodo.com/5572279/apples-acknowledges-iphone-4-reception-issues-says-dont-hold-it-like-that">Gizmodo</a>]</p>
