But it worked. Before that the hyperbolic tech media was "How the iPhone 4 sucks because of the Death grip". And after that the tech bloggers were "Why Apples comparison with other phones is a bit unfair, because HTC XYZ does need x seconds longer to be death gripped", which isn't that quite catchy and sexy. Steve Jobs changed the conversation. And even if you dislike his not quite suppressed snarkyness (which I loved, because the issue was blown out of proportion), it is interesting to note how successful Apples reaction turned out to be. Case in point: They still sell the iPhone 4 physically unchanged (I think?) and the issue just doesn't matter today anymore.

I believe the antenna was slightly different for the verizon versions. But the ATT iphone 4 hasn't been changed that I'm aware of.

My brother and I both got iPhone 4's around the same time and we both have AT&T. He had death grip issues and I did not, simply because he is left handed.
