I'm surprised this hasn't made it up to the front page yet, but votes are split across a few different submissions. Here's the source:

I'm a little disappointed in the methodology here. They only used one testing lab and a small number of phones, and an iPhone model released 3 years ago.

Back in the days of Antennagate, Apple gave a tour of their wireless testing lab to WIRED[1]. In the design of the new Apple Park campus, they added a "North Testing Building" and "South Testing Building" which I assumed were upgrades of the original lab, but I don't have any knowledge of them.

I'm a bit skeptical that they would invest heavily in these testing labs and then thwart the standards. And could they get away with it in 70+ countries they sell in?
