According to financial publication Bloomberg, Steve Jobs was warned about the new antenna design as long as last year.
According to a unnamed source who claimed that Ruben Caballero, a senior engineer, told Apple's head honcho that the design could result in dropped calls.
The source has gone on the record to say that one of the mobile carriers (AT&T?) also raised concerns about the antenna design.
Apple have been caught well short in recent weeks as the pressure has been mounting for them to admit the fault and introduce a fix that will satisfy the early adopters who have spent a lot money on the iPhone 4.
Soon after the handset was launched in June, users began complaining of weak signal strength and even dropped calls if the handset was held by its lower left side.
At the beginning on this month, Apple published an open letter saying there was a problem with how the signal bars are calculated by the handset.
Apple is to host a press conference today, which is expected to cover the antenna issues plaguing the company’s iPhone 4. With rumours they may recall the phone although this does seem unlikely.
