Apple or another 3rd party partner probably knows to check for signal levels while holding the phone in your hand in multiple positions. This checklist has probably been handed down from the first gen iPhone or the first cell phone ever made for that matter.

They did test and it probably came out fine..remember Apple out of all the companies tries to hide their cellphones the most.. remember the Gizmodo incidence...one phone gets leaked a month or 2 in advanced and they go crazy...
Somethings show up in a checklist yes..but it doesn't tell you whether to keep the antenna inside or outside...old phones used to have antennas on outside...but they were on top...after the FCC made them put them on the bottom to most companies they saw best performance when it was inside...Apple wasn't there for that testing phase and thought they were being "innovative"..I remember before it came out them BRAGGING how they wrapped the antenna around that way to make it better...they clearly just didn't know what they were doing...it sounds good on paper but not practical..

What about SAR testing? In order to check how much RF radiation is going into your hand/head/waist you probably would test while holding the phone in all sorts of positions and have the phone produce varying degrees of signal power levels. I would think that every setting you can think of would be turned on during this test especially say signal db levels. The FCC probably even has a checklist of what cell phone makers need to do before submitting a phone to the FCC for approval. How did they not notice that if you touch the seam your signal drops by 20, 30 db's or more?

SAR testing is not done by a person putting the device to their head and testing..its done by a machine..if you look at the FCC documents they got an overview of how they do the testing..

Now again it sound to me like Apple chose to ignore some of these checklists, but they had to know, they just had to...

If anything its negligence on their part..simple as that...
