Steve Jobs, admits “We screwed up on iPhone signal bars calculation algorithm”
With launch of iPhone 4, Mr. Steve Jobs, Chairman and CEO, Apple Inc. realized that since the launch of the original iPhone they have been using the wrong algorithm to calculate iPhone signal bars. He also admitted that iPhone signal bars were not accurate and instead of showing 2 real bars, it was showing 4 bars. However, he assured the users that within a week an O.S 4.0.1 update will be launched that will include an iPhone signal fix. But, Mr. Jobs forgot that not everyone will be able to update to the new firmware. He also didn’t think about original iPhone 2G users and it seems they have been left out in the dark.
This guide is for all those iPhone users who can’t update to the new O.S 4.0.1 firmware and still need to increase iPhone signal strength. Here are some iPhone signal booster tips.
