"You're holding it wrong"

[amazingman]

People were in fact holding it wrong to get the signal to attenuate. The way you had to grip the phone to affect signal was not practical in any way. That controversy was entirely bullshit and only Apple would have ever been dragged for it.

Phones should be made to be held in any way.

Different people, different grips. It should just work.

Other brands manage to do better so why can't Apple with their $1k phone?

It's laughable they still get people to defend that.

And it's not like people are faraday cages. This is basic physics.

IIRC Other brands at the time did not actually do better. They all had similar issues and made similar or different tradeoffs.
