iPhone 4的訊號問題並沒有在賈柏斯招開記者會後有所停息,反而招來更多媒體的關注以及競爭對手對於記者會上的舉例有所回應,今天RIM和Nokia率先對大眾發表Apple記者會的看法。
[Nokia:我們對於天線有專業研究]以下是Nokia的原文翻譯:
As we’ve all seen, Apple had mentioned Nokia in their press conference today regarding the iPhone4. I wanted to take a moment and send you a statement regarding Nokia’s own antenna design and function.
如同大家看到的,Apple在iPhone 4記者會上提到了Nokia。我想要給所有的人花一些時間說明關於Nokia自己的天線設計和功能。
Antenna design is a complex subject and has been a core competence at Nokia for decades, across hundreds of phone models. Nokia was the pioneer in internal antennas; the Nokia 8810, launched in 1998, was the first commercial phone with this feature.
天線設計是一個相當複雜的學問,Nokia已經在這個項目領導了數十年,創造出數買百款型號的手機。Nokia是內部天線的先鋒者,1998年發表的8810就是第一支商業手機採用內部天線的設計。
Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying human behavior, including how people hold their phones for calls, music playing, web browsing and so on. As you would expect from a company focused on connecting people, we prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict.
Nokia投入數千個小時研究人類的行為,其中包括人們如何握住手機、聽音樂、上網等等。就如同你們大家期待的「科技始終來自於人性」(英文原本的口號為Connecting People),因此當有衝突時,我們首先考量到天線的效能,遠過於其他的物理設計。
In general, antenna performance of a mobile device/phone may be affected with a tight grip, depending on how the device is held. That’s why Nokia designs our phones to ensure acceptable performance in all real life cases, for example when the phone is held in either hand. Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying how people hold their phones and allows for this in designs, for example by having antennas both at the top and bottom of the phone and by careful selection of materials and their use in the mechanical design.
一般而言,行動電話的天線性能可能因為緊握而有影響,這就是為什麼Nokia設計手機的時候確保生活中的案例都有能被使用/被接受的性能表現。舉例而言,當手機是以不同手握住時,Nokia投入數千小時的時間研究使用者如何握它,然後再使用允許的狀態設計它,例如我們將天線放置在頂部以及底部,並且慎選材質和採用機械設計
[RIM:我們領導天線設計領域]黑莓機的公司RIM對於記者會的回應:
Apple's attempt to draw RIM into Apple's self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple's claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public's understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple's difficult situation. Apple將RIM牽扯進入自己製造的混亂局面是無法被接受的。Apple宣稱RIM的商品有相同現象是企圖混淆大眾對於天線設計議題的看法,並且試圖轉移目前Apple的窘境。
RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage.
RIM是國際天線設計的領導者,並且已經成功的設計出產業領導地位的無線商品超過20年。這段時間,RIM已經避免出現iPhone 4那樣的設計,取而代之的是更創新的設計,降低斷訊的可能性,特別是在訊號微弱的區域。
One thing is for certain, RIM's customers don't need to use a case for their BlackBerry smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple.
有一件可以肯定的事情,RIM的消費者並不需要任何的保護殼來使用黑莓機。明顯地,Apple做了設計的決定,因此他們必須負起這個責任,而不是將RIM以及其他的廠牌一起捲入這個Apple產生的漩渦。
[本站看法]簡單的結論這兩間廠商的回應,Nokia和RIM都不否認每個手機都會有天線弱點的部份,不過對於Apple將大家拖下水的動作深感不滿。他們認為既然知道天線是一個弱點所在,就不應該冒險的將它設計成為外部天線,這樣只會讓弱點更加明顯。
根據許多回報的資料來分析,大部分訊號問題都發生在收訊很弱的區域。換句話說,如果你人在訊號弱的區域,每支手機都可以無法使用或是快速降格,但是iPhone 4會更加明顯。
使用保護殼可以降低訊號微弱區域的掉格現象,但是如果你無法接受這個說法,那iPhone 4可能不是你需要的手機。不過一切都要實際測試才知道,目前本站的iPhone 4並沒有遇到訊號、斷訊的情況,這可能和所在的區域訊號強有關係。如果讀者期待購買iPhone 4卻被這個消息止步,並且不知道怎麼辦的話,本站的建議是先觀察,不用急著購買水貨,到時候自己親自到電信公司玩耍一番就可以知道。9月過後Apple會提出另外一個結論出來,屆時應該會有更清楚的答案。
