I'm starting to miss my iPhone 4

As long as you didn't hold it wrong.

I got it long after the Antennagate problem got fixed. I believe iOS 4.3 was out when I first bought it.

Was Antennagate fixed? Or did people just learn not to hold it in the wrong place?

I thought it was about physical placement of the antenna, I’d be surprised if a software update fixed it.

It's probably a mix of both.

I loved my LG v10 and galaxy s5. Those phones just worked and worked great for a long time.

I wonder why companies can't just make something as good as these again.
