Why, I don't know what you're talking about...

It's official-the iphone 4 has been released in the States, with many of the takers (76%) actually being repeat customers from previous (but only slightly older) models.
While Apple users would tend to sing nothing but praises of new products just off the production lines, this time two complains have surfaced over the new model.
One, the screen of some phones have reportedly featured yellow-tinged areas or lines that shouldn't be there.
Two, "Some iPhone 4 owners may find they strangle 3G reception after a minute or so if their hands are positioned touching the bottom bar and the side bar of the phone. Others are having trouble re-creating the problem, but it appears to vary by device, person and location." A demonstration can be found
here, though I myself can't see it because the computers here don't have a Flash Plugin. (hello ipad)
For those having problems with the phone, it sounds as if cradling it normally wouldn't do. They take little solace in the fact that Steve Jobs considers the problem in occasional sets a non-issue, and simply asks them to hold it in a different manner.
One supposed Apple fanatic has offered as advice though.

Gartenberg mocked antenna complaints in a Twitter message saying, "I covered my phone's screen with the palm of my hand and now I can't read text anymore. Design flaw?"
That, and the fact that Apple has conveniently got a 30USD solution available can be found here.
I've been trying to restrain myself throughout the post, but I've got to say it.
Apple fans sound like they posses just as much a preference for other similar product lines as zombies do to things other than human brains.
Some also seem to think and reason like their undead counterparts.
