Apple knew of the iPhone 4 issues before launch

Apple chief executive Steve Jobs was made aware of possible problems with the antenna on the new iPhone 4 before its launch, according to reports.


The company's senior antenna expert, Ruben Caballero, told Jobs during design testing for the device that there could be issues with the antenna that might cause calls to be dropped, said a Bloomberg report citing "a person familiar with the matter".

The report also claimed that a carrier partner had raised concerns about the antenna before the release, according to another person "familiar with the situation".

V3.co.uk contacted Apple for comment on the reports, but had not received a reply at the time of publication.
