In a statement released by Apple, how the iPhone is held is not the issue, nor is it the design of the antenna; it's the software used to represent signal strength that is to blame.
Apple officials say reception problems customers have been reporting when using the iPhone 4 have nothing to do with the smartphone's antenna design, but rather are because its signal strength wasn't so good to begin with.

In a statement on Apple's Website July 2, Apple spokespeople said company officials were "surprised when we read reports of reception problems, and we immediately began investigating them." What they discovered was that the problems have nothing to do with antenna design, but with how the signal strength is represented on the device.
