This would be news to most courts in the US.

Even the relatively straightforward "network neutrality" question is not settled, although it is starting to look like it will go the way free speech advocates want.

The "public forum" issues in something like this action by Apple have not been settled, AFAIK. IMO, when it happens, it is more likely that the courts would rule against Apple, based on other "public forum" precedents.

Because attenuation happens to every phone.

But most other manufacturers have mitigated the issue, while the iPhone 4 drops calls.

Take a look at the AnandTech numbers and you'll notice that the iPhone 4, when held normally, drops twice as much as the HTC they compared it to.
