However, that didn't stop Nokia from issuing a statement, claiming that antenna performance has always been a high priority for them. As Nokia put it, "Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying human behavior, including how people hold their phones for calls, music playing, web browsing and so on. As you would expect from a company focused on connecting people, we prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict."

Now, Apple silently answered Nokia by adding a video which shows that Nokia N97 mini, when held a certain way, also shows significant signal loss. Grip the phone in a weak signal area, Apple claims, and it can drop from 7 to 2 bars. Check out the video below.
