The “Death Grip” which took hold of almost all the owners of the Unlocked iPhone 4 has again hit Apple with a new controversy which broke very recently. After it was discovered that on holding the phone in a certain way, the signal would vanish almost instantaneously, Apple has been looking for ways to get out of the mess they created for themselves.

For a company that is so obsessed with perfection and giving the best for the customers, this was a huge public relations disaster. What was more shocking was the bit of news which came to our notice. On the day the problem with the iPhone 4 was discovered, Apple apparently had posted five job listings which specifically read “Antenna engineer-iPad/iPhone?”

Now we understand that this may just be a coincidence, but on the surface it seems too much of a hypothetical situation to not be one. Most interestingly, companies like Nokia unlocked phone actually tried to capitalize on this public relations disaster. They had publicized a line of phones putting stress on the fact that you could hold this phone anyway you wanted to.

However, it has definitely come to our attention that Apple is working to resolve this issue. They have been working hard to make it clear to the Apple store employees to not entertain any sort of complaints from the customers or even heed to any demands for a replacement. Hence one wonders, whether Apple is so obsessed with keeping company secrets.

Plus it is strange that this problem broke in the first place as the company had done Beta testing with the help of their employees who would be carrying around their phones. Hence one has to return to the age old argument which says that never buy any say gadget from the first line which hits the stores.
