Apple can never do any harm it seems. This company has been doing some great work over the past decade. With launches of amazing technology especially the whole “i” generation, Apple has no flaws. Well maybe one. Their Iphone antenna, especially the 4g has a poor antenna design. Even CNN acknowledged this failure. The Iphone 4 antenna design is in a place where you place your hands when you talk on the phone. Basically your fingers cover up the Iphone Antenna.
Cell phones in general sometimes have poor signal. This is dependent on many variables but for the Iphone, there are problems that exist within the phone it self.
You can take a look at this simple and yet elegant fix.
With so many weak reception or dead zones, it is very important to buy a signal booster that actually works. In my area, my brothers and I are constantly running towards the windows or certain areas of the house to find good quality signal. So I started to research what are some good Iphone signal boosters.
WILSON ELECTRONICS Signal booster for IPHONE and charger Review
This cell phone signal booster works with every single version of the Iphone. This is very crucial as you might have family members that use older version of the phone. I have 5 Iphone users in my house and the versions range from the first generation to the 4GS. It is much more cost effective to buy a charger/signal booster that works for all models rather than one.
The package
The Wilson ibooster has a sweet package that includes an ibooster amplifier, iphone case adaptor, mini-magnet antenna, mounting clips and cigarette lighter. You attach the ibooster amplifier anywhere in your car with the clips. It will snug fit your iphone as you drive.
Mini Antenna for extra Power
To get great signal strength, it is important to receive signal that does not have to go through many objects. The more objects it has to travel through, the weaker the signal. Ibooster solves this with their mini antenna.
Attaching the mini antenna on the roof of your car will make it easier to catch signals. The antenna is connected to the cradle that amplifies the signal to the Iphone.
Extends battery life
Having reception is great but it is useless if you do not have power. The ibooster is designed for the car and the cradle comes with a built in charger. The charger connects to the cigarette lighter.
Having long phone conversations drains the battery real fast. A faster way to drain your battery is using your 3G connection. That is why it’s amazing the cradle comes with a built in charger so you don’t have to worry about your cell phone dying on you.
What customers had to say
I quickly browsed the review section of amazon to determine the truth behind the product. Customers have given this product a 4.5 out of 5 with 31 customers that have filled out a review.
The Wilson ibooster did an amazing job by boosting the signal of the cell phone. Almost all customers were thrilled with the great reception they received. Also the simple installation instruction made it very simple to use.
There are some drawbacks to the ibooster.
1) The ibooster currently supports 2g and 3g models. I assume they are working on a 4g model and will have it out.
2) The ibooster charger does not work properly for majority of the customers. All of the customers have received an error of “Device is not supported”.
One thing that makes up for the drawbacks is the one year warranty. If your charger does not work for any reason or you are unhappy with it, you can simply return it.
I would love to hear your thoughts on any other products or ways to boost the iphone signal. Drop me a line
