Totally dumb question but is the antenna the metal band?

[wadawow]

Sorry I'm kinda clueless, looked up diagrams but couldn't really figure out where the antenna is.

Created from our own alloy, then forged to be five times stronger than standard steel, the CNC-machined band is the mounting point for all the components of iPhone 4. The band provides impressive structural rigidity and allows for its incredibly thin, refined design. It also functions as both iPhone 4 antennas.

So don't just say that's why iPhone 5 is coming, cos' you know that's completely wrong.

I'm pretty sure he meant it tongue-in-cheek...

Yes, that is why the antennagate problem exists.

And here I thought it was just because of hysterical media coverage and consumers not understanding how cell phones work....

No, not completely. How much do you want to bet that Apple will in some way calm the media by fixing the over-hyped "antennagate"?
