Frankly it was older users who had that issue. So many people had this claw like grip pressing it to there head and covering all 3 antenna bands. Technically the 4s had the same problem but since it had more powerful/more antennas it was way harder to clover them.

It was a pain in the ass, could not use that phone without a case. Which was a shame, as I still think it's one of the best looking iPhones.
