Consumer Reports would not recommend iPhone 4 at this stage

This past few weeks, rumors on recalling iPhone 4 have been circulating over the web due to the device's antenna flaws. It seems that the issue raised even more when Consumer Reports on Monday denied the iPhone 4 its recommendation rating because of said hardware problem.

Consumer Reports, is an American magazine known for publishing reviews and result from its in-house testing laboratory, determined that the device had a hardware design flaw.

Two weeks ago, Apple explained that the iPhone 4 displays signal strength incorrectly because of a software bug. But the magazine was dissatisfied with the Apple's explanation and it could not recommend the device to its readers at this stage until Apple fixed the problem.

Apple is said to hold a conference on Friday, July 16th at 10AM PT, to discuss the iPhone 4 antenna issues.
