Verizon iPhone 4 Suffers From 'Death Grip' and 'Death Hug' [Video]
Posted February 8, 2011 at 10:27pm by iClarified
While performing tests on the new Verizon iPhone 4, iLounge discovered that it suffers from the 'Death Grip' as well as the 'Death Hug'.
The CDMA iPhone 4 can still lose substantial cellular signal strength when held in the prior "death grip" position, as well as Wi-Fi signal when held in a different position, in each case noticeably slowing or completely stalling the reception of data.
The problem with Wi-Fi reception appears when the device is held snugly in landscape orientation with two hands, a position common when playing games or using the widescreen keyboard. Prior to the Verizon iPhone 4's launch, sources told iLounge to be on the lookout for the issue, which was being referred to as the "death hug."
