I agree the iPhone 4 antenna is an issue. I do believe you're part of a cult that likes to blow it up bigger than it is (a good lot of which brought Antennagate about).
So much heat that Apple can't make iPhone 4s fast enough to sell them. Yes. More Rodimus truth. Apple happens to be the only mobile phone manufacturer with any significant market share growth last quarter.

Continue to be baffled by your unnecessary anti-Apple rhetoric.
A cult? Really? What does that make all the people that believe and post over and over that there was never and there is no issue with the iPhone 4? LOL
You're confusing sales with controversy/PR issues.
McDonalds has tremendous sales and marketshare. I think it would be ridiculous to imply they haven't been thrown under the bus several times. But they sell food a lot of people like at a price people are willing to pay.
We won't ever really know (because it won't be divulged) how many returns Apple had on the iPhone 4 or how many people would have bought the iPhone 4 but didn't. The latter part being impossible to determine. So it's truly impossible to measure the actual effect of the negative press. I'm not suggesting the phone isn't or didn't sell well. But the PR "hit" apple took vs sales are two different beasts.
I said this from day one (when I received Steve's email about my antenna issue which was then was featured on this site and others) - the interesting thing to watch will be what is said about the next iteration (4S, 5) or if anything is said at all.
Will they mention the antenna, any redesign, etc - or not. Will the Q&A session hit upon the issue and how will Apple respond.
Will reviewers resurface the issue when the new phone is reviewed (also a sign of a PR hit)
And are "on the fence" people going to wait (longer) to hear more results of the new design before pulling the trigger because of the launch of the iPhone 4.
All interesting things to watch for....
