Consumer Reports Recommends iPhone 4S, Continues To Milk Antennagate

Consumer Reports today issued a recommendation for the iPhone 4S, advising consumers that Apple’s new smartphone does not “suffer the reception problem” of its predecessor. Those of you will recall the infamous death grip, whereby holding an iPhone in a proverbial wireless headlock, it would lose signal and at times drop calls as a result. This issue while real, was found to be common among a number of other prominent smartphones. By outfitting the iPhone 4 with either a bumper or case, the problem was easily defused.

Consumer Reports continues to reiterate their omission of the iPhone 4 from their recommended list. For those who still consider Consumer Reports as the go-to outlet for phone recommendations, they list the LG Thrill as a phone that “topped the iPhone 4S” in their tests. Smitten with 4G LTE and 4.3″ screens, they list the Droid Bionic and Samsung Galaxy S II as phones that were rated higher than the iPhone 4S.

Remember the lines for the LG Thrill? Exactly.
