> There was no "seem" about it - it was a bad design

And yet until the 5s last week, the iPhone 4 was still being sold, and selling like hotcakes. Why no problems without a redesign? It is maybe possible it was that big a deal?

Wonder if some 4s were worse than others. I still use a 4 and have never dropped a call. I have poor coverage everywhere I use it too. I do have calls go straight to voicemail, but it's usually in my pocket when this happens.

I believe the CDMA 4s have an improved antenna design compared to the original GSM 4s (see: http://appleinsider.com/articles/11/02/08/apples_verizon_iph... ).

I still have and use my GSM (AT&T) iPhone 4 daily that I got years ago and haven't noticed the 'antenna gate' problem..

why didn't you? if you were in the US, you have 30 days to return and cancel contracts on all major carriers.

Pretty sure that differs state to state. In my state, the law says three days. Sprint gives me a week.
