I am pretty sure there was an article on Cnet within the last few weeks re antennae position primarily being towards the bottom of the phone to keep it further away from the brain. So the positioning is pretty standardized these days now that basically every phone has an internal antennae.

And the link is?
Nobody should pay any attention to a post that claims "I saw on the Internet that...." if the poster can't provide a link to the story. That's below "a friend of a friend said that..." in truthiness.
It's not accusing you of making the story up - but if you can't put the question into your favorite search engine and link to the story, you won't have any credibility. We're not going to do the search for you....

And just to save you the time of clicking the link and all....
"Utility or design?
In many smartphones today, the antenna is built into the bottom of the phone. That's for two reasons: to meet FCC requirements regarding the specific absorption rate, or SAR (how much radiation is allowed to enter the human body), and because the extending antenna went out of style several years ago."
But you might want to click that link... you know just in case it isn't really about the topic at hand.
