Apple removes signal attenuation demonstrations from website

Apple

Apple has pulled from its website a number of videos that showed signal attenuation on rival smartphones such as the BlackBerry Bold 9700, HTC DROID Eris, and the Motorola DROID X. The page dedicated to antenna issues now focuses on its Antenna Design and Test Labs.
