Apple has removed videos from its site that show phones from different manufacturers being affected by attenuation when held a certain way.

The company now focuses on reassuring customers that Apple thoroughly tested the iPhone 4 in the lab and in the field.

Every smartphone has a cellular antenna. And nearly every smartphone can lose signal strength if you hold it in a certain way. To make sure our antennas work as well as they possibly can, Apple has invested more than $100 million building its advanced labs. Our engineers have logged thousands of hours designing and testing iPhone 4 in these state-of-the-art facilities.

It's thought that Apple has removed these videos in an attempt to put antennagate behind them.
