Steve Jobs' Brutal iPhone Advice

On launch day, an iPhone user named Aram from Arizona State University sent a brief message about the issue to Steve Jobs' company email address at sjobs@apple.com. Hello Mr. Jobs. I love my new iPhone 4 (good job) but when I put my hand on the steel bands I lose all reception. It seems to be a common problem. Are there plans to fix this? In an unexpected move by the Apple CEO, Jobs personally responded to Aram's email with a terse message that read: Just avoid holding it that way.

A screenshot of a humorous story about an iPhone 4 user emailing Steve Jobs about the phone losing reception when held by its steel bands. Jobs replies, “Just avoid holding it that way,” mocking Apple's dismissive response to the iPhone 4 antenna controversy. It is sent as a reaction to an unhelpful or sarcastic customer-service answer.
