Anyone who wishes the demise of Blockbuster is an idiot. Competition is good, and without Blockbuster there will be no movies-by-mail competitor to Netflix, who has already raised their prices considerably over the past few years while delaying most new releases by an additional 30 days on top of the "very long wait"…

As an iphone owner, I didn't realize this was a thing. How very lame.

@Nick: I know, right? Not really my goat. He was on display at a county fair.

Missed it by two weeks. My pet goat:

When are they going to fix the proximity sensor so I can stop putting myself on mute with my face?

I question why everyone's so eager to see Blockbuster die. Having no real competition in the disc-by-mail market isn't going to do Netflix subscribers any favors; they're already waiting an additional 30 days for most new releases, followed by long wait times, and paying additional fees for blu-ray titles.

@Michael Lewis: Can you hear me? It DOES Affect your actual data count. The latenight numbers appear on your bill the following month, and count toward your alloted usage. If one disables cellular data at night, the latenight data transfers do not appear at all; if it were aggregated reports, they would happen…

@Michael Lewis: I'm not the only one. I've read that entire 27-page thread on Apple's discussion forums; seems to be about half and half, honestly. My best theory is that it's a regional thing.

@Chimera: That's not true of all users, myself included. If I disable cellular data during the night, no charges appear. If what you say is true, they would appear anyhow because I used data during the day and it's just posting late. These latenight data charges are IN ADDITION to daily use, and AT&T is billing for…

@Michael Lewis: It's not instant; they take a day or two to show up but when they do the timestamps correctly coincide with when I was not on Wi-Fi.

@Michael Lewis: No, I DO see data transfers with timestamps throughout the day on my bill, at all the correct times (to and from work where I don't have wi-fi). These late night data charges are IN ADDITION to my daily data usage.

@Michael Lewis: It is NOT your accumulated data for the day. I see data reports at the correct time throughout the day — between home and work where I'm not on wi-fi — and then these unexplained nightly charges as well; if I turn off cellular data while I sleep, the nightly charges do not happen while my daily usage…

@Michael Lewis: Completely wrong. I've tested this theory the past few days to make sure that's not the case. If I use my iPhone during the day like I normally would, then turn off cellular data at night while I sleep, these data charges do NOT appear on my bill. They are not accumulated data posted late at night;…

The combination of these secret nightly data transfers and my iPhone 4 not reconnecting to my home wi-fi network in the morning (even though it shows the wi-fi icon) accounted for 44% of my data usage last month. Other's have reported as much as 90% of their data usage is attributed to these unexplained data…

@nuclearbalm: It's not one guy. It's 27 pages of guys.

Thank you Gizmodo for bringing attention to this. I'm amongst the users posting in that 27-page discussion on Apple's support forums, trying to figure out what's going on. Something fishy is definitely up.

Gizmodo, did you seriously just write an 8,000 word article about why you should stop obsessing over the iPhone 4's antenna? So this will be the last article on Gizmodo that pertains to the iPhone 4 antenna, correct?

@makkura: How do you know Apple was noting all iPhone calls and not just iPhone 4 calls? Was this clarified in the Q&A? If it was not clarified, how have you concluded that it that the percentage includes non-iPhone 4 support calls?

@makkura: The only thing there are "so many reports" of is people showing, "hey look, I can get the bars to drop too if I go out of my way to make it happen!". This "issue" accounts for 0.55% of Apple's iPhone support calls, and yet it gets daily coverage here at Gizmodo. Why aren't they discussing whatever the…

@Mrs. Stephen Fry: this is true of most iPhone 4 owners, but Gizmodo's too busy running stories like this to point that little factoid out.
