Trouble with your new iPhone 4? Apple says it’s your fault

Some who bought their iPhone 4 yesterday reported reception troubles, a problem Apple has acknowledged and said it’s the users fault.

Hours after its iPhone 4 went on sale to excited crowds Thursday, Apple found itself responding to complaints that holding the phone by its metal edge causes mobile reception to suffer.

The company's response, in a nutshell? You're holding it wrong.

"Just avoid holding it in that way," Apple CEO Steve Jobs wrote in an e-mail that was making the rounds on the Web on Friday morning.

Holding it wrong? Why did Apple make it so it could be “held wrong?”
