You mean the iPhone 4 antenna non-issue?

Lots of bugs and issues happened under Jobs, but this was the usual press BS.

The iPhone 4 went on to sell 50 millions of devices or so with that antenna and nobody in the real world had much of an issue with it.

A relative's phone calls got disconnected very regularly until she covered the antenna with tape. If nobody in the real world had any issues with it nobody would have discovered it in the first place.

If only media worked that way and never discovered problems where they don't exist or are totally marginal...

By the same logic, if nobody listened any difference with $1000 "hi-fi cables" they wouldn't be buying them...

No it definitely existed. I got a 4, and it was not uncommon to go from a perfectly fine phone call, to a dropped phone call until I got a case.
And it was such a perfect phone to use without case.
Considering they gave away free bumpers, I have to disagree.
