In the midst of the iPhone 4 antenna Issue, Apple has launched a new section on its website dedicated to the problem dubbed “Smartphone Antenna Performance.” The web page went live just moments after the company held an emergency press conference today at its headquarters in Cupertino,California. The section is full of resources such as videos and photos explaining attenuation and signal loss not only on the iPhone 4, but the BlackBerry Bold 9700 on AT&T, HTC Droid Eris on Verizon Wireless, the Samsung Omnia II, and the iPhone 3GS as well. The page also offers a look inside the $100 million Apple antenna test labs.
It will definitely be interesting to see whether or not Research In Motion, HTC, Samsung, and even Verizon Wireless will issue a response in regard to Apple using their smartphones to prove their point.
