“iPhone 3GS Signal Strength Oddities”

Almost immediately after getting my new iPhone 3GS, I noticed that it spent more time connected to the EDGE network, rather than the faster 3G network, than did my prior iPhone 3G. […]

According to Apple, the software behind the status bar on an iPhone 3GS does a better job of showing when a switch from 3G to EDGE has occurred than does the comparable software on an iPhone 3G.

Translation: iPhone 3G was a lying bastard, and now Apple can’t be bothered anymore to pretend that AT&T’s coverage is better than it is. (I mean, there’s no way the 3G’s hardware has trouble knowing whether it’s on 3G or Edge, so it could have part of the software update.)

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
