From: John Navas on 30 Jun 2010 11:12 Apple is on the lookout for an Iphone antenna engineer. A post for the position of "Antenna Engineer-iPhone" went up on Apple's website yesterday to supplement similar ones from a week ago. Apparently Apple thinks it needs to hire someone who has an engineering background in order to come up with antenna designs, presumably after its prior efforts have proven to be somewhat less than bang on the money. Apple's synopsis of the applicant's responsibilities are to "Define and implement antenna system architecture to optimize the radiation performance for wireless portable devices." So, its current band of journeymen must be all out of answers after their wrap-around coat hanger stunt on the Iphone 4 backfired so miserably. Why Apple thought it was necessary to publicly advertise the position is all the more surprising after a leaked memo suggested that its finest produced a design worthy of some award. The leaked document, guidance for customer care staff, was drawn up for the firm to weasel out of responsibility for its shoddy design, saying, "The iPhone 4's wireless performance is the best we have ever shipped." Well, at least Apple is indirectly taking the rap for the cellular and WiFi reception issues of previous models.

There will be ANOTHER "software update" that will "solve the antenna issue", just like before on iPhone 1 to placate the fanboiz, that will boost the signal level meter up to make it look better and make a big miracle that will keep the company from doing the right thing by recalling this PoS and replacing the antenna system with one on TOP, where it should have been in the first place. -- Global Warming and Creationism are to science what storks are to obstetrics...

People like this one would accept anything Jobs pushed on him even if the goddamned thing wouldn't make a phone call. I'd love to see them really screw up and forget to install the phone transceiver in a few hundred thousand to see if the fanboiz would really accept it without one...which this one would be standing first in line to pay retail for.....(c;] -- Global Warming and Creationism are to science what storks are to obstetrics...
