“The company’s antenna information page, which previously showed various test videos of rival smartphones – like the HTC Droid Eris, Motorola DROID X, Nokia N97 mini and BlackBerry Bold 9700 – displaying attenuation issues when held in certain ways, has been pared down to just a brief blurb on the Apple antenna design and test labs,” Davies reports. “No videos of devices with dropping signal meters, no reports on where to hold smartphones in order to best undermine their wireless performance.”
