A lot of iPhone 4 Problems

Apple should have triple checked this new phone before releasing it. If there is more you know post.
-The biggest one: The iPhone will be getting a software update, because for all these 3 years, all the iPhones past and present has miscalculated the signal strength from a cell tower to the phone. For all these 3 years. (side note: if you can't see the tiny little bars, the bars 1 2 and 3 are going to get bigger in the update)
-That still doesn't fix the hardware antenna problems that a lot are having on the new phone.
-The 'face sensor thing' hasn't got much attention, but when you hold the phone up to your face (like take a non-facetime call), the screen is supposed to deactivate. It hasn't been happening to everyone. Sometimes the screen just won't turn off, the cheeks will register as screen touches, or it's screen won't turn back on after a call.
-There's also an issue with the camera taking yellow-tinted pictures when it tries to adjust to lower light conditions.
-3G upload speeds are --not at&t's fault-- slow in some areas because they can drop to 10% (1/10) of what you had. A fix is on it's way.
-Yellow spots on the screen, but this is small and usually go away on their own.

Well, if it's being fixed, it's not much of an issue, is it?

-That still doesn't fix the hardware antenna problems that a lot are having on the new phone.

Steve Jobs says: "Just don't hold it that way."  tongue  The antenna isn't that much worse than the rest of the phones on the market.

Apparently that's because some people have reflective ear canals  tongue

-There's also an issue with the camera taking yellow-tinted pictures when it tries to adjust to lower light conditions.

Show me a cell phone camera (other than the iPhone 4) that can even take decent pictures in low light conditions and then that point will be valid.

-3G upload speeds are --not at&t's fault-- slow in some areas because they can drop to 10% (1/10) of what you had. A fix is on it's way.

Methinks that's AT&T's fault.

-Yellow spots on the screen, but this is small and usually go away on their own.

Those yellow spots are glue that hasn't completely dried yet. It goes away after time because the glue dries.

Steve Jobs says: "Just don't hold it that way."  tongue  The antenna isn't that much worse than the rest of the phones on the market. We want to hold the phone how we want, not how apple tells us too.

Apparently that's because some people have reflective ear canals  tongue  Most people don't want their screen to deactivate when they are not making or having a call.

-There's also an issue with the camera taking yellow-tinted pictures when it tries to adjust to lower light conditions.

Show me a cell phone camera (other than the iPhone 4) that can even take decent pictures in low light conditions and then that point will be valid. My DSi can take better pictures (as in not with yellow tint) with its point three megapixel cameras.  tongue

Methinks that's AT&T's fault. CNET confirmed it's not at&t.

-Yellow spots on the screen, but this is small and usually go away on their own.

Those yellow spots are glue that hasn't completely dried yet. It goes away after time because the glue dries. The only one I'm OK with.

Re: A lot of iPhone 4 Problems

iPhone 4 was not ready to be sent out into the world yet. Apple should've waited a little longer

Same. Infact, I might be getting one on Boxing Day(Awhile from now) - Or just an iTouch and Sony Xperia/Ericsson. But I don't really need a phone at this age.
