The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple has been working with AT&T, attempting to address issues with 3G performance on the iPhone. The report mentions Apple even tweaking how the iPhone connects to AT&T's 3G network to reduce load.

Apple rejiggered how its phones communicate with AT&T's towers. As a result, the phones now put less of a load on the network for such simple tasks as finding the closest tower or checking for available text messages.

"They're well past networking 101, 201 or 301," said Mr. Donovan. Apple, he said, is now "in a Master's class."

Ever since the launch of the iPhone back in 2007, users have been complaining of poor network performance with AT&T. However, recently, AT&T has been making strides to improve their network, wanting users to report issues and where their service is poor.
