So they lied about the software patch which made AT&Ts network look worse?
No, I think that was a legitimate issue that was fixed through software. This is saying that the problem with the antenna cannot be fixed via a software update.
I don’t remember Apple ever saying it would be fixed through software, though.
Lord, AT&T doesn't need any help to look bad. They are very capable in that regard. If the problem is with antenna placement then no amount of software fixes is going to work. You can't fix hardware with software, if they claim they can it's BS. I'm glad Apple isn't trying to BS their way out of the problem.
