There have been many reports as of late that show a serious problem with the iPhone 3G’s reception. For starters, as many as 3% of users do not get 3G reception at all, or very poorly at best. The likely cause has been pinpointed to the Infineon chipset.

But now it looks as though we definitely will be seeing a fix to the issue come September. And as suspected, the fix will come in the form of a software update. New firmware should improve the 3G reception, regardless of the source of the problem.

While the majority of people are looking to Infineon as the culprit at the moment, plenty of finger-pointing has kept Apple and AT&T as the ones that made a mistake. Once this update comes out, hopefully everyone will have better 3G–if you’re in a 3G area, at least.
