Did Tim also thank them for their oversight of not checking out the strength of the iPhone 6 Plus? There are enough complaints about the phone bending that its become an embarrassment to the company. How can these so-called engineers overlook this?
Without any shadow of doubt, I am 100% certain Apple is no different to most other companies.
You have people who bring up issues and others, higher up, who either won't listen, deem such talk as people being negative, or just plain think they are right due to their position.
It would be impossible, so Apple to have given out prototype iPhone6 units to a range of people to try out, to check for any inherent problems, and not any of them, during their 'whats it like to live with our new product' report back after such a testing phase that they bent it.
I don't believe Apple does not test products, and I must presume that such testers have to write out reports and hand back the phones for examination of any flaws.
A LOT of this much be done, way before they dare gearing up for any mass production as the last thing any company wants to do it find out an issue after mass production has begun and the costs involved with any change.
Given this must be the way things are done, as any other way would not make sense. The weakness in the design of the body must of been known, must of been talked about many times over meetings, but they, and when I say they I mean one or two at the top, decided to chance it, and run with it.
If people, and it's not just a couple are managing to bend iPhones in normal use, after about 1 week. And we accept there will be a few idiots who shand on them etc. But I don't accept every Apple user is an idiot.
If people ARE finding new iPhones are getting bent/distorted in what consider is normal use, after just a week, then after say 3 months, 6 months, a year, given how most people just use a product normally, and not carry it around in a glass case to protect it, I'd take a wild guess, this is going to be incredibly widespread as a problem.
We will see 2nd hand adverts for iPhone 6 models where the Seller will start putting "It's not bend" in the advert and will start to become a common inquiry from someone looking to buy a pre-owned model.
We always like to give things name, so we can try with this years offering for some fun as it sums things up to pick a memorable term:
iPhone6 =
The Boomerang Phone
