@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io @joey@peoplemaking.games Back then the rumor was about the frame in metal that had no plastic cut to break the loop. Was is a real cause of trouble? In Pixel 9 that reuses the iphone4 shape there are 6 plastic cuts in the metal frame...

@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io @joey@peoplemaking.games It was definitely both. I remember looking in the cellular diagnostics applet which gave you the raw dBm value and "holding it wrong" could see a >15dBm drop in signal strength

@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io This really strikes me as being the difference between a linear and nonlinear gas gauge in a car. If you have a linear gas gauge it really *feels* like you are using gas faster because most cars are nonlinear and stay at the full mark much longer and fall more rapidly as your tank gets lower. In this case holding the cell phone a certain way *does* weaken signal but not as drastically as the display was showing. But despite what the display makes you *feel* the reality is that your car will run out of gas at some point and you body will affect signal strength to some extent even if it now *feels* like it doesn't. @joey@peoplemaking.games
