Ooh, the heat is on. Along with being apologetic to iPhone 4 owners, Apple also doubles back with a “see, it happens to everyone” info page. While the news isn’t, news, so to speak, it does highlight the problem with holding any kind of phone. The reason it’s such a big deal now is likely do to the high profile nature of an iPhone and extremely targeted location it occurs at.

Apple demonstrates this by showing signal loss on various phones, including: the Samsung Omnia II, HTC Droid Eris, BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the iPhone 3GS. Apple also goes into some pretty surprising details about their antenna testing lab (the pictures are incredible). I think the attempt on Apple’s part is certainly worth noting, but ultimately won’t stop people from complaining that there exists a flaw in the design of the iPhone 4…, despite it being a physics issue that no one has conclusively solved.
