    Apple was shit during the Steve Jobs iphone years, too. Just ask Louis Rossman (used to do mac repair videos on YT, nowadays mostly talks about current computer stuff)

    Oh, and the iphone 4 had a “feature” where holding the phone “wrong” made it lose all signal.

      from someone who was there: the metal band around the phone was part of the antenna, human skin made it drop a few bars. Clear design flaw, followed by spin-room bullshit.

      but the thing is, it was really still the only game in town. android was hot, hot, hot garbage, and blackberry was out of date. So this did nothing.
