Consumer Reports, an independent agency that makes sure the stuff you buy isn’t a lemon, took it upon themselves to purchase 3 iPhone 4 handsets, each from different Apple stores, and then test them to see if this “Death Grip” wireless signal reception issue really is a problem. Guess what? The old “we calculated the…
Most of you who had jailbroken iPhone 3GS and 3G handsets were probably waiting eagerly for the iPhone 4 to get cracked, too.
