Antennagate iPhone 5

**plantemichel** · 11-03-2012, 03:26 PM

I think that there should be an antennagate because the antenna on the iPhone 5 is bad in fact its really bad i own an iPhone 4S i could not repeat the antenna issue. Neither with my past iPhone 4 ... What do you think???

Not having any problems on either wifi or 3G or LTE. If anything connections are slightly better than my 4S.

I don’t see any issue/problem. My iPhone 5 is good all the way around. Not so much as a hint of antenna/reception issues at all.

I haven't gotten any issues with 3G/LTE.

**Heisenberg** · 11-03-2012, 04:12 PM

I had that phone for almost a week and didn't experience antenna issues.
No antenna gate.

Come on guys put your fingers on the antennas you will see what im talking about i show it to my friends on is iPhone 5

i don't have this issue because i have a 4S but this will prevent me to skip the iPhone 5.

No problem here. My signal in my apt is at -102. I death grip it (top or bottom antenna) and it goes to -100. Looks like you're trying to spread FUD. Show us links that prove your issue. Where are the articles written by several reputable websites that back up your claims? Don't have any? Problem doesn't exist then.

Confused... do you have the iPhone 5 or not? First you say there’s a problem... then you say it will keep you from buying it.

Again, I don’t have it. My signal/reception is fine. If you haven’t bought the phone yet, but know there’s a problem, then simply don’t buy it.

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here...

No issue here

**GibMcFragger#AC** · 11-03-2012, 07:42 PM

No issues here, other than you spreading fud....

**Ed7789** · 11-03-2012, 09:10 PM

No problems with the antenna itself here neither.

No issues at all, not even a little.

**Garz** · 11-04-2012, 12:11 AM

My antenna has been superb

**05GT** · 11-04-2012, 01:15 AM

No antenna issues at all.

**Apple4ever2011** · 11-04-2012, 01:58 AM

Have yet to have an antenna issue.... I hold my phone in a natural manner to make a call... I do not try to put my fingers in the creases between the Antennas...I do not put it in a death grip... or Place it on my Forearm and press down on it to make a call as someone did in a YouTube Video. If one wants to the can make the bars drop.... but as you can see... the Majority of people have not had an issue..... you may have been misinformed if you do not have one or perhaps you received a defective one and need to return it....

So let me get this right...

You're complaining about an antenna on a phone that you don't actually own yourself simply by saying your antenna is good on the 4S? I don't follow your logic...

Cocaine is a hell of a drug! I guess he wants to create a reason not to buy 5. Lol Thought I've seen it all.

Well all phones have this... To an extent and the iPhone 5 has some of the best hardware in it. I think this guy has lost it.

I’m not sure that your summary of of his issues is correct... here (http://forums.imore.com/iphone-4s-fo...hone-4-4s.html) he seems to intimate that his 4S has antenna issues, as well. At best, he is very confused... and at worst, he’s simply trolling. Not sure which it is, but it would appear that he’s a very, very confused iPhone owner (or not).

I know about the antenna issues, but it seems like he's saying he COULDN'T replicate them on his 4 or 4S.

I had to use both hands to completely cover all 4 edges and the entire back to get the bars to decrease in my iPhone 5. And even then it only removed 2 bars on mobile and 1 on wifi. And since there is absolutely no way I could use the phone like that-I had no fingers free to even touch the screen-there is NO antenna problem.
