iPhone 4 signal fault leaves Apple 'stunned' - 5th July 2010 |

Apple says a fault on its new iPhone 4 is causing it to incorrectly display the phone's signal. Users who gripped the phone - which went on sale on 24 June - on the lower left-hand side noticed the signal strength and reception fell away.
