Yet another clueless analyst pontificating as if they knew exactly what the problem was. No one has yet to show that this supposed "antenna-bridging" is actually occuring; CR's tests have been shown to be as worthless as all the others done by people who don't have any clue about antenna design. Everything I've read from people that understand this stuff says that the antenna bridging is not an issue, and there's no clear-cut explanation for what's going on. As they point out, a simple measure of antenna attenuation is meaningless, unless you know how that number translates to the ability of the phone to provide a good connection. 5db of attenuation could kill a call on one phone, while 20db does nothing on another. It is not a straight-forward, global, linear measurement of how well a phone will handle a call.
Meanwhile, we have mass hysteria of dropped calls that may or may not have anything to do with actual reception, and many reports that the iPhone 4's reception is actually much improved over previous models. Until all this gets sorted out, nobody can predict exactly what, if anything, Apple will have to do to rectify what may, or may not, actually be a problem.
