The "you are holding it wrong" company's latest innovation: "you are folding it wrong"
They are opening it wrong.
How do you open a single hinge device wrong?
I see people claiming that others are "closing it wrong". Something about you have to snap it using the edges, absolutely not push into the center?
OP was referring to a meme from the iPhone 4 era, where users complained about a dropped signal, and Steve Jobs responded to one person saying to not hold it a certain way.

Jobs wasn't exactly wrong (the antenna worked OK if you didn't bridge it with your finger):

But the "fix" was also disappointing: an insulating bumper, or $15 if you didn't want one:

No one could have predicted this.
That's not just along the hinge though is it, MacRumours
iPhone due owner reports that they have too much money. So if they want to send me some i'll be really happy to help them spend them.
They only give it to large companies with sleek white aesthetics, sorry
