Two frustrated iPhone 4 owners in Maryland have joined forces to file a class action lawsuit against Apple and AT&T over the widely reported iPhone 4 antenna issue. Filed Wednesday in Maryland, the lawsuit takes Apple and AT&T to task not only for the antenna problem itself but also for breach of warranty, deceptive trade practices, misrepresentation, and fraud by concealment.


Not to be left out, a New Jersey resident and a Massachusetts resident both filed similar independent lawsuits in California.


The complaints about the iPhone 4 antenna first came to light shortly after the devices appeared. To increase reception over previous iPhone models, Apple incorporated a stainless steel bezel around the entire device. The bezel not only acts as a reinforcing frame, but different segments also act as external antennas for the iPhone 4's multiple radios. Testing has so far shown that the new design and associated radio hardware do in fact improve reception over previous iPhone models.


However, the design can cause problems for people who primarily hold their iPhones in their left hand. By touching the small gap between the left and bottom segments of the bezel with their palm, users can effectively bridge the two antennas, weakening the signal received. Though most mobile phones experience some attenuation caused by gripping the phone naturally, testing has shown the problem to be more severe for the iPhone 4.
