Companies love to hide hardware faults. I was the owner of the first Samsung Galaxy S phone. The GSP antenna was really dysfunctional and yet Samsung promised a software update would fix it. The location signals it could receive were almost entirely based off Wifi and cell towers and the accuracy was around 50-100 meters instead of usual 5-10 metres. As a result I couldn't use basic location based apps like driving navigation.
At the same time Apple had a cell antenna problem whereby holding the phone 'wrong' would degrade the signal.
