iPhone 4G Problems
Update: One of the iPhone 4G problems that has been most reported has been holding the phone ‘incorrectly’. It seems Apple is aware of these iPhone 4G problems, as they have responded with: “Don’t hold it like that.”
Update: More and more people have been reporting iPhone 4G Problems with reception, and Apple have released a statement relating to the ‘proper use’ of the phone.
With development stretching back months and years, you would expect any iPhone 4G problems to have been ironed out months ago. Not so. Thousands of users of the new iPhone 4 have reported problems with a whole host of functions…let’s have a look at the major ones:
iPhone 4G Problems
Widely covered across the net, the reception of the iPhone 4 seems to drop out when holding the phone with the left hand. No problem, says Steve Jobs – “Stop holding it like that”. Thanks dude.
The next problem with Apple Inc.’s new iPhone 4G is that is still doesn’t allow us to use flash. So half of the video content out there on the web is unavailable to us. Steve Jobs has a negative opinion of Adobe, but should that limit every iPhone user in such a crippling, far-reaching way? Come on Steve, give the customer what they want. Flash!
Another problem with the new iPhone 4G, and this may have been totally unintended, is that it calls itself a fourth generation iPhone. Which it is, but the uninitiated consumer is likely to assume that the phone is capable of using 4th generation 4G wireless internet standards, when if fact its still plane-jane 3G. There may or may not be a deliberate misleading going on here. In either case it’s a good sales tactic for Apple.
Another problem is one that even Steve Jobs himself struggles with – wifi. Apple has never had outstanding wifi on its products, but we hoped the iPhone 4G problems wouldn’t include problems with wifi. But they do. Steve Jobs that the unveiling conference for the iPhone 4G couldn’t get the phone’s wifi to work, and commenting, “Well geez,” and to his tech support, “Got any suggestions?” We hope it was just a network problem.
If you have picked up the new phone, let us know of any iPhone 4G problems that you have encountered here in the comments – there may be some that we’ve missed!

Hello , well i was with at&t for about 7 years and never had problems with my iphone 3 but decided to go with verizion to get the new iphone . I spent almost 400 for the 32g iphone. But since i got it i’ve had problems with it dropped calls, phone froze but i’ve only have had it for a month. Well 2 days ago the screen started flickering and so i decided to go to the apple store and they told me they have never seen this before so the kid that was helping me shows it to those genious guys that help you with the phone. But not even 2 seconds he brings it back and tells me this looks like some kind of jail break have no idea what that is thats not the worst part. he tells me if its that i just broke my year warrenty. I was so upset. i cant believe this they think im going to walk around with a 400 dollar phone that i cant see anything on it. never again will i buy an apple!!!!!!!

Had the i-phone 4 for just over 2 months, was great to start with then started losing power. Then it decides that it will only charge via the lap top (yes I have tried more than one plug and adaptor) and for the last 3 weeks it has been turning it’s self-off, mid call or email sometimes. As this is a work phone it is a massive inconvenience to have a phone that acts like an old person taking inappropriately timed naps for god’s sake!!!

When I am talking on the phone the mute button will self activate. I have also had it switch to face time in mid call for no reason. I don’t know if this is caused by the phone coming in contact with my face or if the heat from my face does it. To make things worse, the speaker will activate on its on during a conversation . Can you imagine being in a doctor’s office and all of a sudden everyone can hear the person you are speaking with? This is horrible.
