Apple Acknowledges Flaw in iPhone Signal Meter - NYTimes.com
“Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong,” Apple said in the letter. “Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength.”
Apparently this is true for older models and has “gone undetected for at least two years if not more.” Apple, the obsessive Apple, hasn’t noticed that it’s gimmied the signal meter for years to make it look like reception was better than it really is. Yeah right.
