I was expecting to read this on Daring Fireball.

Gruber's actual comment: "I don’t know if this signal-degradation-in-left-hand thing is really a widespread problem or not yet, but it’s not reasonable to tell people not to hold the phone this way."

Wow, Gruber's comments are really terse when he's disagreeing with Apple.

Kind of disappointed since I expected some kind of ass-pulled argument about what Apple wants.

He's mentioned that neither himself or anyone of a number or friends he's asked has been able to reproduce the problem. How could he possibly write exhaustively on the topic at this point, given the lack of information and personal experience of it?
> has been able to reproduce the problem

Are you talking about the lost signal on iPhones, or are you talking about Apple's response? ... because the later is the real problem for me.

Will the next iPhone have a working antenna in the list of features?

What's your ideal Apple response?
If it's true, we fucked up, sorry, we'll try not to do it again.
