Note that there's no 3G or 1X or WiFi icon next to the bars.




Here's a legitimate attempt to recreate the deathgrip:

sometimes the signal bars display w/out any 3g or edge icon. Doesn't make the video fake. . .

Good grief!! !

Now Apple is going to make "Hi, I'm a Motorola/Samsung/HTC..." "Hi, I'm an iPhone" commercials. :-(

I won't repeat everything that I've already blogged about, but even as a current Mac user, I'm not happy with how Apple is going.

Actually, noticed that the phone is in a call...but it's weird that they'd do that in-call. No one would hold their phone like that in-call (not to mention most people's hands aren't big enough to do that, either).

They seem to be trying to just distract from the fact that the issue is that the "death-grip" for the i*hone4 isn't some supergrip or chokehold on the device but having a bit of flesh in one spot that bits of flesh frequently go to on devices.
