It seems Apple have been presented with what can only be imagined as the first of many lawsuits regarding the signal issues of the iPhone 4. The suit claims two american iPhone users have claimed Apple demonstrated negligence and misrepresentation with their latest version of the phone. Although I have not seen any signal issues personally, there are thousands of complaints (as well as thousands of people saying their phone is fine! – Perhaps a product line fault?).Apple Lawsuit form

Either way, Apple have responded by claiming there was a glitch in the original software regarding the signal bars, and that an update to come soon will make the signal bars more accurate and representative of the actual signal strength. To be honest it all seems a little suspect!

But all the blame can’t be put on Apple, as mobile reception can easily be boosted by carriers. For example, back when Chris Moyles was climbing kilimanjaro back in 2008 he reportedly called O2 to moan about his signal to his iPhone. O2 responded by ‘Boosting’ the signal, allowing him to have a flawless conversation with the BBC radio 1 team! Now, obviously O2 and other carriers can’t be expected to do this for every customer, but surely something should be said to the carriers as well as Apple? Scratch that, it seems AT&T are being sued too!
