Apple Inc.’s Steve Jobs said the company knew the iPhone 4 can lose reception when held a certain way and didn’t think it would be a major issue for users. He offered customers a free case to fix the flaw.
“We tested it -- we knew that if you gripped it a certain way, bars would go down a little bit,” Apple’s chief executive officer said today at a press conference in Cupertino, California. “We didn’t think it would be a big problem because every smartphone has this problem.”
