APPLE Inc has come clean about an embarrassing software glitch that overstates network signal strength in its hot-selling iPhone, as complaints mounted about the phone's wraparound antenna.'Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong,' Apple said in an open letter to customers published on Friday.
