It usually takes a couple of days before the negative reports about hot new products crop up. People are just starting to receive their new iPhones, and there's already a slew of online complaints that point to what appears to be one major design flaw in the latest iPhone.
According to numerous reports, holding the phone's new external antenna band has the tendency to completely block reception. The issue seems to have first popped up (as many do) on a Mac Rumor board. Gizmodo put out a call to readers with the new phone and got a flood of responses from users who seem to be having the same issue.
Perhaps it's because a product like the iPhone 4 is bound to be under the microscope upon its release--or maybe this is a legitimate concern. Either way, it seem like this is something Apple is going to have to address soon.
