By now, you've probably heard about the signal issue plaguing Apple's newest iPhone, iPhone 4. Steve Jobs has said that this is not an issue and all mobile phones have this issue when you cover up the antenna. But, it appears Apple still has something in the works to silence all the talk about this issue.
AppleInsider is reporting today that a few posts were made by users on the Apple forums that claimed they could confirm that a iOS 4.0.1 software update could be shipping as soon as next week (possible Monday) to address the issue. However, the comments were taken down.
The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting "no service" rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio.
However, despite this claim that it is software related, there are still users that believe the issue is related to hardware and that this software update will only cover up the issue and not actually fix it.
We'll keep you posted on it.
