<Category: Apple, iPhone> Only 1 comment

According to Steve Jobs, the iPhone 4 antenna problem is not a unique problem and all smartphones suffer from it. Apple showed ‘death grip’ demonstration videos of RIM, Samsung and HTC smartphones in the iPhone 4 press conference and also uploaded these videos to their website and on their YouTube channel. Apart from showing video of these smartphones, Jobs also mentioned that Nokia , Motorola and other companies have the same problem in their smartphones. After some days, Apple posted a death grip video of Nokia smartphone N97 and Motorola’s latest smartphone Droid X. Apple has probably proved their point now and that’s why they have removed these antenna performance videos of other smartphones from their website.
