Yeah, holding off on updating

I charge this roughly 1-2 times a week, drop it pretty regularly, have fallen off my bike and landed on it while it was in my pocket (very painful to the quads by the way), and still runs like a champ

Fellow Apple executive Scott Forstall had to use a bat to break her out of her office.

That's hilarious.

An update that turns your iphone into a brick. Great quality control. Like literally... Don't think it even ran past one single QC person because they would have said "hey, I can't use the phone"

[Krandor]

Well to be fair, let's not pretend other companies have fucked this up too. Sony had more then a few PS3 updates that screwed systems up.

[Nitsuki]

samsung's may 2014 kitkat 4.4.2 update also forced most S4/active customers to lose all forms of connectivity, no calls/texts til you restarted your phone or turned on/off airplane mode. they released an update to fix the issue a week ago. 4 months of customer complaints where they were saying "there was no issue" lol

[RKenshin]

So much hate for the new flip phone option.

[Obsidian]

They were just trying to one-up that curved screen on the Galaxy Note Edge

[Heavencloud]

Did this today, works great. Now fits in my pocket much better.

Well, I've had the 6+ for almost a week. I'm a bit torn... The hardware is fantastic. Great battery and camera.

But I have to deal with iOS... it's inferior to Android now. No back button for ease of navigation (hard to reach top left corner where you typically have to tap to go back). Most apps aren't updated to the bigger screen so they look bad.

I'll probably wait another week to see if I'll return it.

[Obsidian]

Don't wait too long, I'm pretty sure they won't accept it if it's at all warped.

[octopus]

lol, I don't sit on it ;o

[Obsidian]

Front pocket can do it too. Or any kind of non-parallel pressure, apparently.

[Waraji]

Might also not want to wave it around, could potentially snap in half.

[Astylla]

I'm not a fan of Apple to begin with but come the fuck on. How the hell does this get past quality control. Where the hell do must people put their phones, and I don't think everyone wants the bulk that is an otterbox. I know some people who had Galaxy notes has some slight warping after awhile but not this bad. Just when I think they can't get any worse.

[Waraji]

What, you don't want to blindly give them money for an overpriced Fisher Price phone? If the Icon were any bigger in OS, you'd think it was a Windows phone. Maybe with the iPhone 7 and iOS9 you guys will get widgets. Those are pretty cool, please look forward to it.

#Bendgate is getting out of hand.

People are typically blowing it out of proportion for shit and giggles because its fun to make fun of apple (RE: last 2 pages). Realistically the regular iPhone 6 won't bend unless you intentionally give it a retarded amount of pressure. The iPhone 6+ is more suspectable but you still need to use force and putting a case on it will prevent it from happening anyways.

This guy explains it well.
