Many early iPhone 4 customers have found critical issues with the iphone 4 Antenna and reception that could pose major problems for Apple’s newest mobile device.
Multiple Apple- and gadget-focused websites are receiving reports that the iPhone’s much-discussed “Retina Display” is susceptible to a yellow discoloration, either as a thin line of yellow or as a circular tint.
That’s not the only problem: There are now countless videos online that show how holding the new iPhone by its sides can decrease reception quality.
We’ve received a growing number of tips about these complaints, as well.
Message board threads on Macrumors are buzzing with negative reviews of the discolored iPhone 4 screens. Here’s an excerpt from a community member:
“Just synced up my iPhone 4 and noticed that, on screens with a white background (i.e., Settings.), there is a decidedly yellow spot on the lower left corner of my screen. It appears circular (about the size of a pencil eraser) but when you rotate the phone sideways, it’s more visible as running across the bottom edge of the screen a ways.”
Gizmodo is also getting a flood of complaints and currently counts more than 27 cases of Retina displays demonstrating the yellow tint problem. Apple has dealt with this problem before with its 27-inch iMacs. It’s unclear what is the cause of the issue at the moment, nor is it known how widespread the problem is.
The second problem affects reception. As Gizmodo reports, dozens of iPhone 4 owners are finding that their reception drops dramatically if they hold the phone by its metal sides in two places. The metal bands of the iPhone 4 also act as antennas for the device.
