Did Apple really make a mistake or was it part of a big design cover-up?

You may think this is in reference to the iPhone 4. It isn't directly. The recent update Apple released for the iPhone fixes the "algorithm" that was used to calculate signal strength. This was supposedly a new discover that had slipped by for several years. I am calling foul on this. Here is why: Apple for years talks of how their products work better, virus free, etc.... But something that all cell phones do they messed up on? Could it be for the last few years they knew their products had issues with reception? Was it purposely done to cover up the original design flaw in the iPhone? I say yes. In large groups of people the users who have the most problems with their phones are iPhone users. At conferences, festivals, and concerts where large groups gather it seems iPhone users have service issues but others using AT&T with other phones do not. (Blackberry, LG, etc...) My theory is this. They originally designed the phone and found out to late the signal issue. As you have seen the generations of the device have changed what the device was made of; They still have signal issues. Finally, with what they think is the fix for their issues (iPhone 4 antenna band) they still have problems. But with all the focus on AT&T being the culprit they finally release the correct signal strength detector. It made Apple look like the victim in the scenario but in reality they are the culprit. This may seem very conspiracy theory but in my unsubstantiated claim this is all on Apple. It may be time to have an investigation in what may be one of the biggest consumer frauds to date. But, that is, if what I say has merit. Time will tell. In the meantime, I will surf the web and write my blog posts on my iPad.
