A circulating rumor suggests that Apple will be releasing an iOS update next week, perhaps as early as Monday, which will take care of the dreadful antenna signal attenuation issue that plagues the iPhone 4. The 4.01 update was referenced in a series of forum posts on Apple’s tech support forums that have since been removed, but not before readers grabbed the pertinent information and relayed it to the rest of the world. Of course, the success of this fix hinges upon the fact that the antenna issue is software-based and easily corrected with a quickly deployed update. If it is hardware-based, then Apple may have a bigger problem on its hands.

    This software “fix” is intended to get people to think they fixed the problem by getting the bars to stop reacting to the phone being held that way….. however, it won’t make the signal any better…. you will still get poor reception by holding it that way…. the phone just wont show it.

    Stop lying to your customers Apple….. this is clearly a hardware issue!

    It’s a shame because I really wanted an iPhone 4….. I’ll be getting an EVO now……

    Frankly, I think it is Alex’s attempt at making an “argument” that he “wins” by hoping tomtom doesn’t see it and give himself some form of satisfaction.
