That’s out of the question. I’m criticizing CR’s behaviour in first dismissing the problem (in the blog post that’s already been linked in this thread) and later turning around, saying the opposite. I am not saying that CR should keep quiet about it, at least they corrected their mistake, I just think their first comment about it (via their blog) puts them in a bad light. After all, their blog is an extension to their magazine and not some independent blog where they could claim whatever they wanted. It just feels like handing in your papers first and only then doing your homework.

I won't comment on the second statement you made, no matter how easy it would be...
I see what you’re trying to do there. And it’s obvious you are totally missing the point, so I guess it’s better you didn’t respond ...

The impression I have gotten from tech blogs: Jimmy Fallon has no dropped calls anymore in locations where he previously got dropped calls all the time. Josh Topolsky does not have any problems with the antenna of his iPhone 4 whatsoever. And I believe the whole discussion was started by the kids from Gizmodo.

I totally agree with everybody that this is indeed a problem that should be addressed by Apple ASAP. However, I just don’t think it is as important as some people make it to be.
