Apple to Change IPhone Signal Display, Not Reception
This article is for subscribers only.
Apple Inc., following complaints about reception problems with its iPhone 4, discovered a software problem that has displayed inaccurately high signal strength since the original device was introduced in 2007.
Some iPhones have been showing more bars of signal strength than merited, leading users to believe they had better reception. A software update to fix the problem on its 3G, 3GS and 4 models will be released “within a few weeks,” Apple said today in a statement.
