It Bends?! 8 Major Defects Of The iPhone 6

Talk about an iFail. Less than a week after the release of the iPhone 6 (and the iPhone 6 Plus), several users have already posted incriminating photos showing that the phone totally BENDS when put in certain pockets. Turns out there are a few more defects Apple didnt notice:
1. Flawed Fingerprint Sensor: Many iPhone owners have complained in forums about the Touch ID fingerprint sensor periodically identifying them as television personality Marc Summers and then incessantly badgering them for an autograph.

2. Cup Holder Is Wrong Shape For Most Cups: When crowds lined up to be the first owners of the iPhone 6, they definitely werent expecting it to have a cup holder that cant even hold a glass of water. This is one bug that the geniuses at Apple are going to have to answer for.
3. Siri Tells People You Kidnapped Her: Several angry customers have noted that when they are in public with their iPhone 6, Siri will abruptly start screaming to the people around you that you kidnapped her and begging them to call the police.

4. Personalization Issue: Due to a factory goof, every iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has For David, Love Mom engraved on it.

5. No Spider Guard: Users worried about small, too-quick-to-be-observed spiders scuttling into their iPhones electrical port will find this model sorely wanting for a spider guard.
6. Too Many Phones: Theres one iPhone 6 in each box, prompting some people to complain that this is too many phones. But what was Apple supposed to do? Put zero phones in each box? Thats definitely not enough phones.
7. Short Battery Life Serves As A Macabre Metaphor For Brevity Of Human Life: Much to customers chagrin, its impossible not to read the short battery life of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus as a macabre metaphor for the brevity of our own fleeting existence.
8. Its Not The Tonka Truck You Wanted For Your Birthday When You Were 7: In Apples defense, nothing is, and nothing can or will be.

[h=1]Apple says bent iPhones are 'rare'[/h] By Leo Kelion Technology desk editor Jump media player

WATCH: Marc Cieslak puts the iPhone 6 Plus through some stress tests, in an unscientific experiment



Apple has responded to claims that its new handsets are prone to bending by saying such damage would be "rare" during normal use.
Media outlets across the globe had reported that several iPhone 6 owners had complained of handsets becoming misshapen after being carried in trousers pockets without a case.
Several of the US firm's rivals have also helped publicise the claims.
Apple said nine customers had told it their iPhone 6 Plus phones had bent.
In a statement the company noted that the handsets' shells had been constructed out of "anodised aluminium, which is tempered for extra strength" and also featured stainless steel and titanium parts to reinforce the areas of the phones likely to experience the most stress.

"We chose these high-quality materials and construction very carefully for their strength and durability," it added.
"We also perform rigorous tests throughout the entire development cycle.
"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."
The BBC understands that one of the checks that Apple had carried out before launching the models was a "sit test", which is designed to simulate the effects of a user sitting down on a hard surface with the phone in their back pocket thousands of times over the course of several years.

Russell Holly, who works for tech site geek.com, told the BBC on Wednesday that his iPhone 6 had bent

The company also carried out a torsion test, which involved clamping a phone at both ends and then applying a twisting force 8,000 times.
Stock drop Apple's share price has fallen following the publicity generated by users posting photos of bent iPhones to the internet.

Apple's smartphone rivals have made fun of its problem
News that it had also pulled an iOS 8 operating system update after iPhone 6 users complained it made their phones unable to make or receive calls had also caused concern.
However, one analyst highlighted that the company had been much quicker to respond to reports about bending than it had back in 2010, when customers complained about the iPhone 4 dropping calls when gripped on its left-hand side.
"It took too long in the antenna case - I don't know if this is organisational memory or not, but here Apple is going out and saying it did do tests and is stating the facts," said Ken Dulaney, who covers the mobile phone sector for the research firm Gartner.
"But this is probably something Apple has to look into more.
"It probably did all the tests it said it did - I don't ever find that Apple really lies about anything - but I think the people reporting the problem aren't lying either."
Apple's competitors have taken advantage of its troubles.
The official Twitter accounts of LG, HTC and Samsung have all posted messages alluding to the controversy, with LG going so far as to use the hashtag "bendgate", which other members of the public had used to refer to the claims.
Record demand Apple had previously announced that it had sold more than 10 million units of the iPhone 6 and its larger sibling the iPhone 6 Plus.
"While our team managed the manufacturing ramp better than ever before, we could have sold many more iPhones with greater supply and we are working hard to fill orders as quickly as possible," its chief executive Tim Cook said in a press release on Monday.

Chief executive Tim Cook had earlier highlighted "record" demand for the new iPhones

It highlighted the "all-new dramatically thin" design of the handsets - a factor some users had speculated might be the cause of them bending.
However, it has also been pointed out that handsets by Sony, Samsung, Blackberry and others have also bent in the past, and several analysts have cautioned that it was too early to say if the incidents involving the new iPhones were more widespread.

[h=1]Apple responds to #bendgate: your pockets are holding your iPhone 6 Plus correctly[/h] By Chuong H Nguyen, Thursday, Sep 25, 2014 a 2:32 pm EDT

It appears that the scandal behind the iPhone 6 Plus' #bendgate crisis has been blown out of proportion. Apple had responded to concerns that the iPhone 6 Plus' shell can bend under normal stress when being transported inside the pockets of pants by saying that the issue is so minimal that they've only received 9 complaints to date.

Apple had given its statement to CNBC and the news network had tweeted the news:
ALERT: Apple says only 9 customers have complained to the company about bent iPhones. (via @jonfortt)
Additionally, Apple had reinforced the unibody aluminum case design to give it added strength against torsion, noting that "new iPhones feature steel/titanium inserts to reinforce stress locations and use the strongest glass in the industry."

ایپل کی کئی حریف کمپنیوں نے ان دعووں کی بڑھ چڑھ کر تشہیر کی تھی۔ایپل نے کہا کہ اسے نو صارفین کی جانب سے شکایات موصول ہوئی ہیں کہ ان کے آئی فون 6 پلس خم ہو گئے ہیں۔ایک بیان میں کمپنی نے کہا کہ ان فونز کا خول اینوڈائزڈ ایلومینیئم سے تیار کیا گیا ہے، جسے مضبوط تر بنانے کے لیے اسے مخصوص عمل سے گزارا گیا ہے۔

اس کے علاوہ اسے مزید مضبوط بنانے کے لیے فون کے اندر سٹین لیس سٹیل اور ٹائٹینیئم بھی استعمال کیے گئے ہیں۔بیان میں مزید کہا گیا ہے: ہم نے اعلیٰ معیار کے مادے استعمال کیے ہیں جنھیں ان کی مضبوطی اور پائیداری کی وجہ سے چنا ہے۔ ہم فون بنانے کے دوران تمام مراحل کی سختی سے جانچ پڑتال کرتے رہتے ہیں۔
عام استعمال کے دوران آئی فون کے مڑ جانے کے واقعات بہت شاذ و نادر ہیں۔ فروخت کے پہلے چھ دنوں میں صرف نو صارفین نے اس کی شکایت کی ہے۔
