Self-labelled neo-Luddites and the tech-stressed are searching for phones with fewer features. Industry experts cite precarious profit margins and a wobbly market around this need.

      As long as you didn’t hold it wrong.

        I got it long after the Antennagate problem got fixed. I believe iOS 4.3 was out when I first bought it.

          Was Antennagate fixed? Or did people just learn not to hold it in the wrong place?

          I thought it was about physical placement of the antenna, I’d be surprised if a software update fixed it.

            It’s probably a mix of both.

      I loved my LG v10 and galaxy s5. Those phones just worked and worked great for a long time.

        I wonder why companies can’t just make something as good as these again.
