Good post except for this bit. Please don't bring that phrase to HNs. Good posts can stand on their own.

And yeah, I think the main issue is that the RDF algorithm is collapsing. It was originally a great way to alter perception about AT&T's service, but it backfired due to the issues the 4 may or may not be having with the antenna. The problem of sudden dropping calls at low has been there all along, but with the antenna holding issue (or "issue"), the bubble has been popped.

Out of curiosity, is Apple the only company that does this? Does anyone else display <100% as 5 bars, or is that strictly an iPhone thing?
