Although so far it's an unnamed source on a fairly small site which might just be desperate for clicks. I'll wait til there's a little more credibility given to it by bigger tech sites and they've done some more rigorous digging into the claims.


I've heard that one too Loz although happily I can say that mine is just fine - holding it or not ;-)

Anyone had a few days to play with v4 and work out whether they are happy with it?


I spent a long time on the phone to Orange today and they basically admitted that apple are already planning to do a new release and swap the Wireless and GPS antennas after the furore.


I'm sending mine back for sure... I love it but I might have to buy a seperate phone which kind of defeats the object somwhat

I've got it and I'm pretty happy. After saying above that I didn't have the problem - if I do hold it that way, the signal does drop but I haven't actually lost any calls from doing it. I only tend to hold the phone that way if I'm playing a game or the like. I must hold it differently when actually on the phone. The battery life is better, it's much faster online and getting mail - and the camera is far better too.


I hadn't heard the rumour about the swap of antennae and not sure how easy it would be to do. I would take it with a pinch of salt though since I think it's unlikely that Orange customer services would be the first to know given that Apple are apparently just handing out 'bumpers' to those who moan.

I'd say yes. The recent news and postings across the forums underlines that

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
