Report: Verizon iPhone Has Antenna Problems

(NewsCore) - The Verizon iPhone appears to suffer from antenna problems similar to those of the AT&T iPhone, according to a Wednesday report on Apple-centric blog ILounge.
"The CDMA iPhone 4 can still lose substantial cellular signal strength when held in the prior 'death grip' position," the report read, referring to the firm grasp some users apply to their device, "as well as Wi-Fi signal when held in a different position, in each case noticeably slowing or completely stalling the reception of data."
ILounge added: "The problem with Wi-Fi reception appears when the device is held snugly in landscape orientation with two hands, a position common when playing games or using the widescreen keyboard."
As with the AT&T iPhone, iLounge said an iPhone case or cover should solve any issues.
Verizon will begin selling the iPhone in stores Thursday.
