As exciting as the release was, there were several iPhone 4 issues that occurred within days of its release. Although some of them make using the phone more difficult than others, they are all somewhat disappointing. Check out these iPhone 4 issues and see if you are having the same problems.

Poor signal. This iPhone 4 issue was found before the phone was on the shelf. If you hold the phone in the right place your hand will cause the signal to drop. The way to fix this problem is to either get a bumper case or change the way you hold your phone.

Rear camera doesn't work. The camera starts off ok, but after a while you may go to take a picture and the virtual shutter sticks. This iPhone 4 issue has happened to many users who have also tried restoring their phone to fix it. Unfortunately it doesn't help and you will need to have it fixed.

Glass breaks easily. Glass breaks, and although the people at Apple claim that the glass used on the iPhone 4 is strengthened with the use of chemicals to make it stronger, it will still break. The best way to keep this from happening is to use a case to protect the phone from any damage.

Volume buttons are reversed. This iPhone 4 issue is not as common as some of the others, but it has been reported. There are claims that when you push the increase volume button the volume goes down and when you push the button to quiet things down the volume will actually go up. If this happened to you you can either train yourself to push the opposite button, or get a replacement.
