I think Apple is actually behaving completely reasonably about the antenna issue. I wouldn't have thought so until I realized that during the last few weeks, while I've had my iPhone 4, half a dozen strangers have approached me in public to ask me about my iPhone. Every single one of them had the same concern, which is if I had antenna issues and/or dropped calls. I never had a single person walk up to me and ask about any of the previous iPhones I owned, but now people regularly ask me about the single issue of the antenna. I am surprised to say it, but the antenna publicity put a big dent in the iPhone 4's reputation and Apple is definitely going to have to do some work, like posting lots of videos showing that other phone have similar problems, if they are going to minimize the bad reputation iPhone 4 got with some people.
