iPhone 4 Antenna Issue: How to Fix
by Joseph Pesta
June 24, 2010

Some users have reported that when holding the iPhone 4 in their left hand, if their skin touches the small, black line that runs across the metal band the signal bars indicating the strength of their signal begins to drop after a minute or two. Reports from other users, however, state that they haven't had any problems with this particular issue at all. Overall, improved call quality and signal strength have been reported by most users, when the touching of the antenna issue that has surfaced isn't brought into play. If you normally hold your phone in your right hand, you probably won't have any problems. For those experiencing problems with fading signal strength, using a protective case, or one of the new rubber bumpers Apple sells for the iPhone 4, should solve the problem. The issue seems to only happen when a person's skin directly contacts the lower left edge of the metal band surrounding the phone. A case or bumper will prevent that direct contact.
