Guess what I’m humming?
Yes, even I, the king of the iPhone 4 bitching, must admit to getting a bit burned out on bashing Apple over the iPhone reception issue. In fact, I was more than willing to put on my happy fanboy mask, pretend the iPhone works as advertised, and call it a lesson learned. But when I see someone put forth actual effort into an iPhone 4-bashing song, especially one with a catchy chorus, then I feel I just have to share. So here is faithful Macenstein reader Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff‘s opus, “The Antennagate Song “. Enjoy.

Yeah, those millions of people that are returning their iPhone 4s…yep, price of crap, doesn’t work for anybody. Didn’t know 0.55% equaled a piece of crap.
What a load of garbage.
I have to agree. I am disappointed that it might not be up to the extremely high standards I am used to from Apple, but it still the best phone I have ever had!
Oh, come on – the song is catchy. Never called the iPhone 4 crap, just complained about no bars and not being able to blame AT&T – this time.
Maybe you should move to a real country that doesn’t have this problem.
Australia and New Zealand seem to be having very few problems but then we have Vodafone not AT&T.
I have an iPhone 4 on Rogers network here in Vancouver, Canada and don’t experience dropped calls or signal bars going to none even with my hand completely covering the bottom left of the iPhone. I have 5 bars holding the iPhone in my hand this drops to 4 bars in the GVA (Greater Vancouver Area). Using the Speedtest.net app my results with out covering the antenna over Rogers HSPA+ (3G) network was for download 5592 kbps and upload 3612 kbps and with my hand covering antenna 4723 kbps and upload 2700 kbps. Rogers network is HSPA+ supporting 21 Mbps download speed but the iPhone 4 HSPA chip only maxes out at 7.2 Mbps download speed. I’ll be traveling to the USA soon testing the iPhone 4 on AT&T network. In the past though I’ve noticed while using an iPhone 3G AT&T doesn’t provide the same speed and bandwidth we get here in Canada.
I’m sure I’ve seen this guy somewhere before… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iUU6jTqB6k
