Apple Responds To Complaints Of Bent Iphones by DMilanista: 11:05pm On Sep 25, 2014 |
Social media channels have overflowed this week with commentary on whether Apple‘s new iPhone 6 Plus bends under pressure, particularly in a pants pocket. Turns out actual complaints to the company, at least so far, are much less prevalent. “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,” Trudy Muller, an Apple spokeswoman, said in a statement. “IPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use.” The statement comes after some early adopters complained that the new iPhone 6 Plus, which is significantly larger than previous generations of the iPhone, was permanently bending from simply being carried in a pocket for long periods of time. After one new iPhone 6 Plus owner on Tuesday complained that his phone warped after sitting in his front pants pocket during a long drive, the story was quickly picked up by technology blogs and news outlets. Lewis Hilsenteger, who runs Unbox Therapy, a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing the latest tech hardware, filmed himself straining to bend an iPhone 6 Plus with his bare hands. The video has been viewed more than 25 million times in less than two days. Apple performs “rigorous tests throughout the entire development cycle including three-point bending, pressure-point cycling, sit, torsion and user studies,” according to Ms. Muller. “IPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use.” As Apple has grown bigger and more successful, it has also become a bigger target for criticism. The company says it sold more than 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones over the first three days of release, a new record for the company. Some of the attention is self-inflicted, however. In 2010, early buyers of the iPhone 4 reported problems with the device’s cellular antenna, which caused dropped calls due to the design of the phone. An Apple executive responsible for the project left the company over the incident. And this week, Apple released a software update to the iPhone that was supposed to fix some early bugs in an updated version of its mobile operating system, iOS 8. The update made some users’ phones unable to make or receive calls, and also rendered the touch identification technology software useless, according to reports. Apple quickly withdrew the software update, and has said it planned to release a new software patch in short order.

The Apple iPhone6 and iPhone6+ are the best smartphone on the market today. Apple does not release inferior hardware and one of the reasons that I am are staunch customer is that they control both hardware and software of all of their products. I am typing this on an MacBook Air with my iPhone 5s and iPod plugged in. My server is a iMac and I have at least 3 iPods in stalled in various cars. It's easy for anyone to attempt ridiculing a manufacturer. How sensible is it to stick a high dollar smartphone in your back pocket and then sit on it? For those that don't like iPhone or Apple products, the good thing is that there are various other products out there to purchase. For those on the fence, it is my honest opinion that you should give it a try. You can always sell it and unlike other phones, no other phone holds it's value like an iPhone. For fellow iFanboys, I have held both phones in my hands (already sold 3 I had slated for my Nigeria store over here) and they are a thing of beauty. I can't wait for the iWatch to be released. It's a good time to be a technical fan. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

What's the point of having your pockets bent to buy a high-end device and still have the device bent through normal use. Blue chip companies like Apple are making substantial compromises in traditional designs and durability just to compete favourably. It started with a cheaper variant of the IPhone 5 called 'c'..what da heck. These companies churn out expensive garbage called 'flagship smartphones' every year and then u just have to keep buying cos one way or d other the old phone becomes a liability. From reduction in software support to hardware failure. My Galaxy S4 gets so hot at times that it could fry balls while it sits in d pocket. A subtle way of telling me it needs a brother 1 Like |
