Have you heard that the new iPhone 4 has antenna issues? I feel like I heard that somewhere. Oh yes, someone told me about that yesterday. And the day before that. And the day before that. Jesus.

You know, not sooo long ago, all phones had big antennas like this. And most of these antennas were just communicating with a receiver in your living room next to the TV Guide. It wasn’t, like, talking to something traveling in space.  That would’ve required an even bigger antenna.

And yet, antennas got smaller. Weird. Even more ironic than rain on your wedding day. And good advice you just didn’t take.  I don’t understand it. I just know that one day there was this thing I could absentmindedly chew on at the end of my phone in my house, and then one day I could suck on it outside of the house. And then one day there was no more antenna on the phone at all. 

I didn’t really miss the antenna. But I also wasn’t like “Yes! Awesome! Finally a phone without any antenna!”  So would it be so darn awful if they just brought ‘em back?

Looks like this picture is just a joke, but perhaps somewhere out there, there is something that could actually fix the iPhone 4 in this way. I don’t actually think it’d be such an eye sore. But iDunno.
