You know about the fault, we even brought you the official Apple response (and Steve Jobs’ reply), now here is the solution to the signal loss problem that is making the lucky owners of the new iPhone  4 go banana on several internet forums.

Firstly, the problem is caused by fingers when they bridge the gap between the GSM and the WiFi antennae on the bottom left edge of the iPhone, which ofcourse causes the signal to drop into oblivion.

The Solution, as posted by Fast Company , is to get some sticky tape and paste about an inch’s worth across the gap, probably extending half an inch to either side on the metal edges. Keep it on the metal band only though, making sure to get the back edge, as that is the point that will most likely cause such a connection.

Of course if you don’t want to paste a bit of sticky tape on the world’s sexiest phone, you may have to shell out for the Johny Ive recommended solution, and use the iPhone bumpers.
