According to Bloomberg, concern was raised over a year ago with the potential for the iPhone 4′s antenna design to drop calls. Ruben Caballero, an antenna expert at apple, spoke with management last year and expressed his concerns that its design could cause some reception troubles. (Apple denies this.)

This is the first indication that Apple knew about this problem beforehand. Until now, all we got from them as acknowledgment was a software fix that made the bars display more accurate, which so far seems to be ineffective. This report backs up what was previously stated about the internal struggles between Apple’s design and engineering teams. If this is all true, Apple may need to provide a solution, be it a free bumper or a recall. That would undoubtedly be the largest recall in the history of recalls.

If this is true, Jobs himself is at fault, if he knew about this problem but he went ahead and released it anyways. Now Apple might have to pay the consequence.

What do you think should happen and who is at fault? Let us know in the comments below.
