Apple has removed videos showing its competitors' phones losing reception from its dedicated iPhone 4 antenna page.
The firm had reportedly set up its antenna page to show it had put an enormous amount of effort into testing its phones, but had also added ‘death grip' videos of a number of its rivals' phones, according to unofficial apple blog, Apple Insider.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs angered competitors when he said at Apple's impromptu press conference that the iPhone's competitors also struggle with the ‘death grip' issue, with BlackBerry manufacturer RIM branding Jobs' attempt to draw it into its ‘self-made debacle, unacceptable.'
Various companies argued their phones did not have similar problems to the iPhone 4, yet videos posted by Apple on the website seemed to suggest otherwise, with different handsets losing reception when held.
Competitors will be pleased videos of RIM's BlackBerry Bold 9700, Motorola's Droid X, HTC's Droid Eris, Nokia's N97 and Samsung's Windows Mobile Omnia II have reportedly been taken down from the site. However, Apple has reportedly not removed them from its YouTube channel.
The antenna page now solely features a video of Apple's testing labs, which the company has reportedly ploughed more than $100m into. It is said to feature 17 different chambers to measure wireless performance.
