Keep in mind that 4s was redesigned as far as the antenna to avoid the whole "antennagate" (even the CDMA version of 4 that came out a little later after the GSM version already had a slightly different antenna design that didn't suffer from the same issues).
Got a tip for us?

The 4S is a different phone than the 4 and didn't suffer from the "antennagate" issue. So what are you talking about?
The 4 didn't suffer from antenna gate either the whole thing was the equivalent of an internet meme.
Hey guys!
So here's every iPhone's '_gate' that I know of:
iPhone 4-(Duh) Antennagate
iPhone 4s-Yellowgate
iPhone 5-Flaregate,Chipgate
iPhone 5s-Sensorgate(was fixed by Software Update)
iPhone 6-Bendgate
iPhone 6s-???
Because if there isn't one, we must correct that xD
What do you think should qualify as a _gate for the 6s? *It should be a hardware issue*
Good day
Really, most of these "gates" are just silly minor flaws that most people have never even heard of, let alone experienced. The only two that ever got any kind of mainstream notice were Antennagate and Bendgate. The more vocal iPhone enthusiasts just need something to obsess over.
I remember the 3GS (maybe even 3G) had issues with cracks along the thinner areas of plastic (speaker cutouts). IDK if this was an issue, but my phones both, which I take impeccable care of, both exhibited this out of the box. It wasn't enough to bother me, nor was it noticable without really close inspection. I remember there being threads about this as well at the time, though I am unsure it ever got quite the coverage that some other issues did. Luckily overheating didn't happen with our devices.Overheating issues?
