OK, this is a little WTF, and I haven’t yet been able to verify it myself (because reception’s pretty good where I live), but: Boris Veldhuijzen van Zante over the The Next Web says he’s discovered a trick to improve iPhone 4 reception: stick it in a glass.
To whit:
“A few years ago one of the waitresses there discovered (how?) that if you put a phone in an empty glass it dramatically improves the reception. The Pasta e Basta restaurant is basically stuck in a concrete basement so reception has always been awful. But since they found out about this trick they at least have had enough reception to make and receive calls.”
So readers, can this be true? Please avail yourselves of poor reception and glassware immediately: let’s put this to the test.
Coming soon: iPads in buckets and MacBook Airs in cut crystal vases. Possibly.
