My point was that Apple didn't refute those findings, they validated them. They admitted that the iPhone 4 had a weak spot, and dropped bars when held a certain way. They didn't say "nothing". You also said the demonstration of other phones having the same issue was 'hand waving', and not scientific. Which is why I asked why they warn of the same issue in their user manuals.
Right, its a personal feeling about a company and their actions. Totally understandable.

It looks like you might have misunderstood my post and granted forums aren't the best way to communicate.
When you said "What did Apple say that refuted CR..." I responded by saying "Nothing.", as in they did not try to refute the finding. What I was saying is they provided no evidence nor made any statement to invalidated CR finding.
I then went on to say they downplayed the issue and did a lot of hand waving. I'm sorry just showing a video of bars going up and down is not evidence that the problem exist, and is just as bad, in other phones. CR actually used the right tools to measure db and showed it's data. Apple just showed a video and called it good.
BTW nobody is disputing attenuation exist, they are just stating it is not as bad as iPhone4.
