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

    • Meanwhile, I'm withdrawing my previous high appreciation.  Firstly there were my attempts three days ago to provide the detailed information they needed,  to enable the technical team to check a specific post in their log  and see the server responses.  I found myself as if going round in circles.   The bot eventually told me that it was Support I should be sending it to, rather than 'here in chat'.  I'd been following the links to the numbered Ticket throughout and had not even been aware I was in a different part of the building.   It was beginning to feel as if I was being gaslighted so I just gave up, and went off to educate myself on the latest requirements the biggies such as Gmail require in ther DNS security information.  I've long had an SPF record, and it's now clear that I should be ready to install at least a DMARC, and preferably a DKIM one too, in my domain's DNS record.  I'd not noticed any recent problem before the migration, so had assumed (but haven't yet checked) that Plusnet have been inserting their own secure identity confirmation items, for known subscribers like me who use their mail relay to send email as from their personal domain.   Anyway, I've just  had another try at giving the bot the required information, and that seems to have succeeded, so I'll see wait to see what the Greenby techs say about it all. On top of that, yesterday evening I was searching for a really important email which I had to reply to,  which I'd purposely put in a separate Plusnet webmail folder.  I found that all my added folders there were empty, just as in Vladi's reports, which I'm immensely glad  of.  Knowledge of his experience and a fairly quick and successful resort  to his strategy worked for me too and helped ratchet down my alarm, which was present even despite the knowledge that somewhere I should be able to find another copy of the file. It could have been otherwise.  A system fault like that, unreported and left uncorrected, could potentially contribute to doing people real harm.  I remember two years ago, a single instant of deep fear, on hearing something on the radio about the dire legal effect that could result from an inaction similar to one of my own, that was immediately followed by a slight oddity in my hearing in one ear.  I connected the two and measured my BP for a period shortly after.  That more or less confirmed that there'd been a marked jag in my BP, occasioned by the moment of fear, that gradually declined.   Two or three days later I woke up with a severe  hearing loss in that ear.  That led to a referral to an ENT consultant, but by the time that arrived the loss had thankfully been more or less reversed.
