Death-Grip Is Gone

Almost as soon as the iPhone 4 came out there were reports of dropped calls if the phone was held a certain way. The "death grip," as people called it, occurred most commonly when the phone was held in the left hand.

My phone has it, but I wasn't too bothered since my iPhone 4 went into a hard rubber Incipio case immediately and will stay in the thing for the life of the phone, only occasionally coming out for a cleaning. Every iPhone owner should protect their phone on all sides. But "Antennae-gate" as it was called became a royal headache for Apple.

Well, a number of sites have run tests and found that the problem is indeed gone. Gizmodo notes no death grip, Daily iPhone Blog, and AppAdvice all report the problem fixed.
