mhoye@gnomon @samhenrigold The incredible thing is that they rush-shipped rubber bumper cases to anyone who asked for them when it was really a display error fixed in a lookup table.
Andy Norman@mhoye @gnomon @samhenrigold it wasn’t just the display “error”. In the right circumstances it definitely did drop in actual signal level dramatically when you bridged the antenna gap (which I every time with my natural grip). It dropped calls a lot of the time. The bumper fixed this for me and it was a non issue on the 4s with the extra antenna gap. It was probably more of an issue when you spent time in marginal signal level areas.
