The Apple iPhone 4’s antenna problems are now legendary and proved to be one of the major flaws of the iPhone 4. Well, here’s good news for Apple fans. While woeful fans were figuring out how else they could hold a phone without disturbing the antenna located on the side band, Apple’s engineers were busy designing a new antenna. And they have come out with a cracker of a solution! The logo Antenna.
The question is, what is a logo antenna ?
According to patently apple “This new antenna is to hide behind the famous Apple logo thereby allowing it to gain a stronger signal without intervening metal or other conductive housing walls interfering” So basically, the antenna will be hidden behind the logo of the iPhone and Macbook in order to bring the antenna closer to the surface and thus ensure better network coverage. Its not like Apple hasn’t tried this before, the iPad’s WiFi antenna is located behind the logo and it works like anyother device. So incorporating cellular and gps antennas behind the logo will only help improve matters!
Apple has already applied for a patent, this being the company’s 3rd patent application for telephonic macbook purposes in the second half of 2010. The future iPhone may see the new antenna in place as also future Macbooks which may come with 4G connectivity. But it doesnt stop at this, patently apple also ventured to say that this antenna could be used on any portable devices in the future, such as watches, pendants, headphones etc.
One thing is for sure, Apple is surely not content in being at the top of things. The company very well looks as if its racing against itself and is in no mood to stop! The real question is : Who Can ? 😉
