As many of you may know, on July 16, 2010, Apple spoke at a conference regarding the reception issue of the iPhone 4. For a fix, they are giving out free bumpers, and if they run out of stock, they'll give you one of their selected third party cases for free. As Steve Jobs showed whilst using the "death grip" on the BlackBerry Bold 9700, you may have seen the bars decrease, what you did not see, is them go back up while still using the death grip. This is because on the BlackBerry Bold 9700, it has a SOFTWARE feature, that when it detects a loss in signal, it raises the output level of the antenna. This is fine as long as it does not pass the 1.6 SAR level limitation placed by the FCC. This can be done by software, meaning thats it's not only Apple who can do it, but it's the users too, provided they have a Jailbroken iPhone 4. Another way this can be fixed, is that sometimes, there are bugs or flaws within the way software communicates with hardware. Notice how I mentioned software in that sentence. This can also be fixed by tweaking the way the software communicates with the hardware, this can be done by Apple, or as I said before, a user with a Jailbroken device. For now though, I would recommend claiming your free bumper, even if you don't have the reception issue. Everybody likes free stuff.
