In a statement, Apple said: "Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas."

Hmmmm......I've owned a good amount of phones and never had this problem yet COMPLETE FUCKING SIGNAL LOST YOU DUMB FUCK.

Yeah, a buddy just got it and showed me that. If you put your finger over one spot, you can literally watch your signal drop out.

Once again, Apple fails at life.

I was at the dmv friday and watched some girl drop hers, and destroyed the screen.

My old t mobile wing fell off my bike at 70 and got a small scratch, didnt even loose the battery cover.

The problem is thought to be particularly acute for left-handed owners who naturally touch the phone in the sensitive area.
