With 'antennagate', there was an issue where holding it would bridge the specific antenna areas which would cause a signal reduction. It was an issue, but it was also overblown because to get it to kill the signal you had to hold it very, very specifically, and it seemed mostly to effect the US market more than others. Also, quite a few other devices suffer from it but Apple was the highlighted case because the device was brand new.
