There are different tests done by people by holiding it with one finger, one on the glass and one on the metal and comparing results, which finally show that there is some real fault going on and which does not seem to be a hardware issue.<\/p>\n<p>Apple would hopefully fix this issue with the next iOS4 update either in iOS 4.0.1 or iOS 4.1 version and make sure that the reception is not impacted in any way you handle the device. Its predicted that human touch can interfere with the antenna because its outside of the photo and this is a normal issue like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/remove-yellow-spot-on-iphone-4-display-screen-quick-fix\/\">Yellow Spot Display Problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been numerous reports claiming that the iPhone 4 has reception issues and the signals are dropping when someone holds the device with their hands.
