MG Siegler (via his personal Tumblr)<\/a>:<\/p>\n

He also brings up \u201cAntennagate\u201d for good measure. Remember, everyone stated this was a colossal fuck up that would sink the iPhone because the devices weren\u2019t tested enough. Of course\u00a0they actually were<\/a>. And\u00a0Apple sold over 20 million units<\/a>\u00a0of the \u201cdefective\u201d device last quarter. A record.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

MG was pointing out the absurdity of some report I won’t even link to where a guy says iPhone 5 will arrive in October and not September. I personally don’t care when it gets here because I still TO THIS DAY have signal issues with my iPhone. No one talks about it anymore but, every single day of my life with the iPhone 4, I have to hold it upside down with the screen facing away from me to load webpages, emails and send tweets. I hate talking on the phone because the signal drops. My iPhone signal is shit and I hate it. Thank god I have WiFi at home at work. If I didn’t, this phone would have been in the trash can and I’d be an Android user.<\/p>\n

Antenna gate should have been made to be a bigger deal. A lot of us have to hold the iPhone awkwardly to get service. Fact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MG Siegler (via his personal Tumblr): He also brings up \u201cAntennagate\u201d for good measure.
