Re: So you want an iPhone 6
Exactly, or in other words they don't have a clue what they are doing, they also struggle with the batteries and their life.

I have not yet seen a test showing how much force is required to bend the iPhone 6+ in comparison to other devices. I'm sure it's less, but a guy saying "I'm pushing harder than on the iPhone" tells us nothing
I disagree. You might think it doesn't tell us enough, but it is definitely not "nothing".
Aside from the obvious, of course. The only thing it tells us is that it is somewhat easier to bend. Not how much less. Not why it does. Nor if the amount required to bend is less than that which would occur normally within someone's pocket.
for a device that thin, 1 mm is a lot. Everything is getting thinner when it comes to displays. PERIOD. Samsung has bendable screens coming out soon, so what? People are just going to have to get used to it. Thin is in.
IMO, I believe these types of issues have always plagued Apple more than other devices, you could blame a bit on laser scrutiny from being on top or just say that form sometimes took precedent over function.
Just a short history...
That's just some of the major hardware issues, won't even go into major software issues that have always been there from IOS 8 release to Apple Maps and the most recent update.
Not to say other device manufacturers don't have issues, but if I had half the issues with my HTC or Asus devices over the years I would have dumped the brands by now.
Just a short history...
- Apple III, and Macinstosh 128k heat issues (from Jobs mandatory no fan order) that caused "100% hardware failure" according to Wozniak
- G4 Cube - Beautiful device with major heat issues
- Macbook 13" - Shuts down under normal use, required heatsink replacement
- Splintering and chipping plastic pieces off the Macbook
- IMac G5 - Capacitors bursting
- iPhone 4 - AntennaGate - Gotta hold it right to get a signal
- iPhone 4s - Yellow tinting on white versions
- iPhone 5 - Lens flare on photos when lights were in the photo
- iPhone 5 - Sleep/Wake button issues
- Macbook Air - Wide reporting of snapped hinges.
- iPad - Acknowledged WiFi connectivity issues (personally got to support that and told our router was the problem by over confident users)

lol yea that's Apple's official statement, what a joke right? I know of at least 20 people and that was just reading one thread in one forum!

Re: So you want an iPhone 6
Forget about the bent phones - what about the failed iOS "upgrade" that makes any iPhone run worse? How about all those fan Boyz who come on here saying "iPhones just work?" ... now the larger screens don't scale properly with the apps that were written for the 4" screens... and I read today that iPhones are the most prone phone to phishing scams... what about the hacked naked pics on the iCloud?
Seems like Apple has a lot of issues...
So far my S5 has been running like a champ!

And this is why Apple gets so much heat when issues arise....I havent heard of any of the ones before Antenna Gate.... Apple is a perfect company that builds perfect devices...according to some, many. Issues like those would be expected with anyone else, but not Apple.
Apple responds:
Our iPhones are designed, engineered and manufactured to be both beautiful and sturdy. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus feature a precision engineered unibody enclosure constructed from machining a custom grade of 6000 series anodized aluminum, which is tempered for extra strength. They also feature stainless steel and titanium inserts to reinforce high stress locations and use the strongest glass in the smartphone industry. We chose these high-quality materials and construction very carefully for their strength and durability. We also perform rigorous tests throughout the entire development cycle including 3-point bending, pressure point cycling, sit, torsion, and user studies. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use.
With normal use a bend in iPhone is extremely rare and through our first six days of sale, a total of nine customers have contacted Apple with a bent iPhone 6 Plus. As with any Apple product, if you have questions please contact Apple."
9 complaints out of 10,000,000. Yeah, serious issue.

I'm sure there are more, and will be more. It's only a matter of time.

Don't you think that if it was a serious problem, that the number would be much higher? At least in the hundreds, if not thousands.

Re: iPhone 6 Plus Bend Test
In your hand LOL, over 90% of the women here in Japan carry their phones constantly in their hands, even while eating, they never put it down LOL

Re: So you want an iPhone 6
I try not to hate on iphones too much. For some people they're the ideal phone. I'm sure I've said it here before, but I'll say it again, if you want to adapt the way you work to how the phone wants you to work, you get an iphone. If you want your phone to adapt to the way you work, you get an android. I guess that's why I run linux as my home OS.
Sure, iphones work for the most part. If you had one device to write for, and you wrote your own OS, it makes sense that you can get it to run smoothly. But considering how many devices you have to get android to work on, it's amazing how well it works.
As far as the bent phones go, I think there's no way of really knowing why. I mean, I weight 180, so if I had a phone in my back pocket and sat down, that's a lot of weight bearing down on it. Imagine someone weighing 280. But as to the other problems (screen size, whatever), I'm really surprised that Apple let those things slip, unless they were in such a hurry to beat the Note 4 to market that they got sloppy. And if that's the case, I smile, because I know Apple is taking Samsung seriously.

I disagree. With the videos going viral, they need to get out in front of it. Silence would not be golden.

True. It was good that they responded rather than let it build more momentum. This problem will just spawn heavier duty iPhone cases...
