Americans may be in the four arms on your iPhone reception problems, but Japanese users? Not so much.

Noboru Takahashi, a musician and composer in his 30s, said their relationship has been sporadic, but his love remains unchanged. When there is a problem, just adjust your position at hand.

“If it gets to the point where I can’t use it, then I’ll be upset, but I’m not there yet,” he said. Three weeks ago, Mr. Takahashi waited 65 hours in front of Softbank’s store in Harajuku, a shopping haven for young Tokyo hipsters, to be among the first to get his paws on the Apple device. He’s one of many fanboys in Japan.

Another friend who experienced similar problems applied some homemade first-aid by placing a piece of Scotch tape over the sensitive area on the lower left corner of the iPhone, Mr. Takahashi said.

He has followed Apple’s recommendation and bought the bumper guard elastic rubber-like frame that surrounds the phone, which functions as the problem of the antenna. He has not had a call from falling.

Ryoichi Hoshino was surprised to hear of the difficulties which other users. He retired Mr. Hoshino, who was the first person to leave the Apple store in the Ginza district of Tokyo with a new toy in hand, said his phone reception was perfect, with and without using defense.

In fact, he said he hoped the headaches associated with the antenna Apple across the ocean will be a boon for Japan.

“If they don’t sell as well in America anymore [because of the mechanical problem], then maybe more will come to Japan,” Mr. Hoshino said. “I think that will make Japanese people happy.”

Twitter user at least one Japanese defective antenna adds even genius.

“It appears that the way one holds the iPhone 4 that causes the reception to cut out is called the ‘Death Grip.’ How cool! Yahoo!” chirped a Tokyo-based web designer, who goes by “bluesbuger” on the microblogging service.

The success of the new iPhone 4G is the shadow. It seems that the iPhone 4G problems have no solutions. The malfunctioning of the antenna 4G iPhone is ready for a new chapter. Apple has called a surprise press conference for Friday at 10:00 local time at the company headquarters in Cupertino, California. At the heart of the conference should be precisely the problem the new iPhone 4G model of Apple’s smartphone, the issue in recent weeks, a firestorm of criticism and negative opinions, as well as the controversy over the line when needed in the complaint. A reference model, the iPhone 4G, analysts say, it is unlikely because too expensive for Apple, but of course, can not be excluded from the sale. Ed Snyder of Charter Equity Research Analyst, stated that “having the pressure on Apple to problems that affect the iPhone 4G will probably announce a settlement or compensation for those who bought.” According to Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein Research, the recall of the iPhone 4G could cost the Cupertino company over half a billion dollars.

The new iPhone 4G was launched a month ago in grand style, as is usual for new products from Apple. But the iPhone 4G immediately showed some weaknesses, so that a few days ago, the magazine Consumer Reports has rejected, saying that it is not being able to recommend the iPhone 4G purchase, because of problems with reception that persists on iPhone 4G. The reviewers of the journal have in fact tried three new iPhone 4G, and found that touching a point on the left side of the device may have a ‘significant loss of signal, if not total, in case you are in an area with little field. Because of this issue – said the monthly magazine published by Consumer read by more than 7 million Americans – we can not recommend the purchase of the iPhone 4G. For Consumer Reports is a running back, as they wrote in an internal blog, last July 2, that the problems of the iPhone 4G were not serious enough to abandon the purchase. According to Consumer Reports tests of the iPhone 4G problems encountered in data transmission can not be attributed only to the telephone company AT & T exclusive but to the new iPhone 4G.

Apple, which in recent days has suffered a decline in share prices in the U.S. charts, which at first denied that the iPhone 4G has a problem with the antenna and then removed under casual references to the Consumer Reports review users post on the forum The official website of Apple. For a company that has always been reliability and quality of their products a flag is a serious crisis, especially as the image as sales of the iPhone 4G seems very satisfactory. Let’s see whether and how they will treat.
