The "if you hold your iPhone 4 in a particularly contrived way, reception suffers" thing was a total farce.

Apparently you had to use your iPhone 4 without a case and press a finger horizontally over the antenna line. I wasn't even able to trigger it in that pathological way. It was about as realistic as complaining your laptop doesn't work while being roasted in a microwave oven.

There are countless reasons to dislike Apple, including many factual reasons and of course personal taste. Not the biggest fan myself.

But when I see that iPhone 4 antenna issue mentioned, I know there's a particular sort of sentiment behind it.
