The phones were tested on their ability to transmit in the GSM 900 signal band – commonly used for voice conversation.

Lead researcher Professor Gert Frølund Pedersen, from Denmark's Aalborg University said, 'Apple has had problems and they continue to have them. It also seems that the problems are greater in their newer phones, which is incredible.'
What's interesting is that the phones perform slightly better if held in the right hand. Sorry, lefties!
