Apple has the last say so on all the hardware...Android is the OS. So far you have shown some examples of some Android phone manufactures. That does not = all of Android. You can say ____ model from HTC, Sony. There were even reports of the Droid RAZR cracking, breaking. Its one reason I dont like thin phones anymore. Another is the bulkier phones felt better to hold in hand.
My point was NOT because this happened to Android it is ok for Apple but pointing out merely because it is Apple, people are flipping out and being hypocritical. I'm sorry my point came off wrong.
Same guy did it with a Note 3....no bending issues. Note 3 has bigger dimensions in a few areas and different build materials. I do agree any delicate phone might have the same bending issues. But all phones arent delicate. Apple is all about premium.....its their fault and their fanbase for all this happening now.
There was. Plastic is semi-rigid and you are putting energy into the bonds and breaking them. The phone was not perfectly straight when he stopped bending it. This is based off of a whole TWO reports. You have a full forum of 6+ users a click away but at the end of the day, ANYTHING to show Android's superiority, right? One of the reports was a guy who spent EIGHT hours with a phone digging into his flesh in his pocket and the other the reason wasn't given(at least I haven't seen it). Apple IS premium but it doesn't mean the tech is not delicate. I don't sit on my macbook. I don't wear a pair of Jynco jeans and sit on my ipad or put it in my front pocket for 8 hours allowing the metal to warp. Do people seriously think metal is perfectly rigid? Just like Sony, Apple chooses to create a phone that people love even though it is delicate. The Z3 is premium too but stupidity breaks the phone. You respect the phone and it's weaknesses.
But now I know a few phones we'll see in Apple's "other phones do it too" video.
Btw...the iPhone 4 and 5 has bend pics out there too:
Yes because people were stupid. My iphone 5 is NOT bent. Go to iMore and take a poll to see how many of those are bent. I know the weaknesses of my phone. I don't think it is indestructible. Yet I wouldn't buy any other phone because I love the feel of it and the experience compare to the androids I've had in the past.
Reports of bent iPhone 6 aligns with horrible history of bent smartphones
But like with Antenna Gate...its not that the phone bends...its how easy it is to bend. I cant say how easy it is...all I now is the Note 3 survived his test. Would be interesting to see him test more phones. I mentioned a Droid RAZR, That would probably have a cracked screen more so than bent phone because the body was made of plastic and Kelvar. But notice how Motorola is absent in most posts, pics.
Antenna Gate was different, you know how? Because more than 2 people were effected and it wasn't due to user stupidity. IF there is a structural weakness in the 6+ we will start seeing more reports and we will take it seriously just like Antenna gate but until then, people are taking the word of TWO people from the INTERNET. Come on, guys and gals, you know better than this.
When you are put on a pedestal by so many, expect things like this to show up. Ppl gloat over record breaking sales for each new iPhone....cant have it both ways when issues arise.
