You're all falling into Apple's trap.

In all seriousness, the trap Apple has set is to conveniently shift blame to AT&T.
By saying, 'whoa, our formula was wrong and we overstating the coverage you had.' The implied message is AT&T's network is responsible for the poor reception.
This obviously ignores...
1) the apparent signal loss when held with the 'death grip'
2) the iPhone having worse coverage than other iPhones despite 'the best antenna ever'....and iPhones historically having poor connectivity compared to other devices on AT&T networks
3) the fact that users in the UK are reporting the same issue...obviously not AT&T's fault.
Look how many naive sheep on here complained about fewer bars after the update. They clearly didn't understand what the update was intended to do, despite being on a frickin site about Apple products with articles all over the splash page about it.
If the diehard users who swim in this site are that clueless, imagine the average iPhone user who doesn't follow the daily rumor/news mill and just expects their stuff to work. They'll download the update, see a sudden decrease in signal....and fall hook line and sinker for AT&T's bait that the network is causing the issue.
