nobody is defending anything.

there is definitely an issue with the current iphone but the exact
reasons are *not* known. there are many factors that contribute to it,
and quite a few users are reporting that the new iphone works better
than any other phone they've had. other users have problems, some of
whom can only duplicate it in certain locations, not all.

"Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to
calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong.
Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it
should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4
bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a
drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are
most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don�t
know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big
drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.

To fix this, we are adopting AT&T�s recently recommended formula for
calculating how many bars to display for a given signal strength. The
real signal strength remains the same, but the iPhone�s bars will report
it far more accurately, providing users a much better indication of the
reception they will get in a given area. We are also making bars 1, 2
and 3 a bit taller so they will be easier to see.

We will issue a free software update within a few weeks that
incorporates the corrected formula. Since this mistake has been present
since the original iPhone, this software update will also be available
for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G."

Well I suppose people will make of that what they will, 3G and 3GS as well.

If the iPhone and iPad are really so impressive,
then why do iFans keep making excuses for them?
