Antennagate

Monday, July 19th, 2010

My first cell phone, a Nokia I got about a decade ago, specifically said in the manual, similar to this page from the manual of the HTC Droid Eris (via Daring Fireball), not to touch a certain area of the case while you are using the phone, because it would affect the signal and battery life (and it would get hot).  Made sense to me, it’s a freakin’ radio.

So, from the start all of the iPhone 4 attenuation bullshit seemed like a non-issue to me.  Some of it is Apple-bashing, and some of it is from people who are true Apple fans, but they still want their magical unicorn, too.
