With all the glitches, rants, issues, and negative feedbacks that the second-generation iPhone has been getting, it seems that the company can longer explain what is going on with their latest product.

Recently, an analyst reported that the reception issues of the second-generation iPhone happen probably because of the faulty chips inside the device.

Richard Windsor, an analyst from Nomura, has just published his report on GigaOm which focused on the chipset of the 3G iPhone made by the company called Infineon. Richard Windsor said that the Infineon chipset might be the cause of all the reception problems of the 3G iPhone.

The reception issues currently faced by the 3G iPhone




include the abrupt network switches, dropped calls, and service interruptions. Richard Windsor mentioned that these were the same complains five years back when the first 3G phones were released in Europe.

He said that the issues are common among immature chipset. Infineon supplied the chipsets for the 3G phones. However, although they have already distributed their chipsets to various mobile phone manufacturers, the chipset from Infineon has never been tested by the users.

Windsor also mentioned that if his theory is correct, Apple Inc. might not solve this problem. Apple might have a new batch of chips which would show how incompetent they are when it comes to giving the users a tried-and-tested solution.
