GDGT ’s fleety fingers transcribed the exchange , which started with a question from Engadget :

Josh , Engadget : NY Times says this might have a software fix , is this something that can be helped with software program ?
Steve Jobs : We just pass the last 60 minutes going through how the iPhone 4 drops only 1 more call per hundred than the 3GS . … Go utter to the Times , because you guy rope talk to yourselves a lot , and they ’re just cause this stuff up .
Scott Forstall : That statement is plainly false . Can we continue to tune the direction the baseband interacts with the web ? Yes , and we do this all the clip . But that statement is false .

job : One many statements latterly that fall into that category .
Update : NYT writerJohn Markoff clarifiesthat Scott Forestall is the one who said NYT was “ making stuff up . ”
In response to a standardized interrogation , later , Jobs said :

An NYT seed had suggested that the iPhone 4 ’s transmitting aerial attenuation arose from the “ complex fundamental interaction between specialised communication computer software and the antenna , ” and say that Apple could desexualise the issue with better - designed package .
Apple shot that idea down , explaining today that the signaling abasement was indeed a computer hardware proceeds ( though one , they exact , the affects all prison cell speech sound ) . While Jobs kill the beautiful dream of a software system fix , he did reiterate that the iOS 4.01 update hasa more accurate signal algorithm , which should serve iPhone 4 exploiter get a better sentience of what sort of service they can require at any given location .
