If you restrict the question to 'Apple lovers', then the answer is probably yes.
I'm not an Apple lover, and while I don't know the details, as I've never been interested in the iPhone, from everything I've read it was a design screwup. A mistake.

I don't see your problem, why must Apple's record be 100% spotless and every blunder be vigorously defended and tried to be explained away ("it didn't really happen", "others did the same thing, but worse"). Even Apple is run by humans, don't they ever make mistakes?

Yes they do, just like everyone else.
It is the fanboy mentality, something must either be 100% right or 100% wrong, the middle ground it too confusing, it means they don't know who too cheer for.
Just as 'Apple lovers' see Apple as always right, 'Apple haters' see it as always wrong.
Reality is never that simple.
Edit: ChangeWave, the people who conducted the iPad heat survey whose results I posted, had previously done an iPhone annenna survey.
The results were that 7% found it to be a Very Big Problem, 14% Somewhat of a Problem, 14% Not Much of a Problem and 64% Not a Problem/Haven't Experienced Any Problem.
So yes, it was real, and users did complain, but it wasn't crippling, and everybody didn't complain. Middle ground.
