iPhone-4-Holding-it-Wrong

The iPhone 4 may be one of those handsets that world anxiously waits for and clamors for in throngs of crowds to get a hold of but it’s far from perfect. What always makes for a funny after launch story is taking into account the user experiences and various bugs that pop up. This time, people were having issues reception and, you’re going to love this if you haven’t heard already, the reason Mr. Jobs has provided, is because you’re probably holding it wrong. Tell me that didn’t put a smile on your face and I won’t believe you. You obviously know by now that the metal strip running around the iPhone 4 doubles up as the antenna and it seems that the receptors are placed at the bottom so if your grip just happens to be wrong, you’re not going to get the best reception. Now what would have been handy would have been a mention of the same in the user manual, preferably in diagram form.

As explanations go, this is one of the funniest I’ve heard – ‘You’re holding it wrong.’ What makes it even funnier is that Steve Jobs actually replied to a new user via email saying just this – (picture below).

After this greatest answer from Steve Jobs: “Just avoid holding it in that way.” Great job, Steve, you’re famous now.
