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

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
