Got an iPhone 4? You may need duct tape
Has it really come to this?
The most talked-about phone in the U.S. -- Apple's iPhone 4 -- has a design flaw that's best fixed with a sliver of duct tape, according to Consumer Reports. "It may not be pretty, but it works," writes Mike Gikas on that nonprofit consumer group's electronics blog.
The patch -- which sounds like it'd be more appropriate for kitchen plumbing than for a phone that retails for $200 to $300, plus an AT&T contract -- is supposed to correct an apparent problem with the iPhone 4's metal antenna.
