I still think it is absurd that Apple charged $149 to "fix" an admitted production defect.
In Apple's defense, we don't know what that 7.2x more likely was as a number. It could have still been a very small number.
When you got a crook like Tim Cook at the helm, what do you expect?
Yup, we're waiting. Meanwhile I'm sure Apple has many top secret memos going around as we speak that they know full well about the myriad of 2016/2017 Keyboard issues. Plausible Deniability for T.C. haha.Where is the Apple Defense Force now?
Come on dudes! Give it the old-college try!
Let denials, and "Apple cannot do no wrong" ripostes, flow!
Apple marketing is depending on you.
MacRumors appears to be indulging in some intentional amnesia on this issue. Apple provided videos of the torture testing for the iPhone 6 (torque tests, sit tests, three point bend), as well as the measurements from those tests in terms of the bend point for the frames. Both models were well within the industry standard at the time.

OK, I'll bite. There's nothing to defend here. Apple knows their own tolerances and these devices fell within those tolerances. Unless they have deceived customers or lied to the court, these are all just numbers that every company has to assess for themselves.Where is the Apple Defense Force now?

My old iPhone 6 bent while riding a rollercoaster. I went to an Apple store the very next day to address the issue thinking I would have to purchase a new phone. They replaced my phone for a new one for free.That happened in 2016. No complains here.
internal documents remain under seal, but the judge providing over the case, Lucy Koh, made some of the information public when she

On the other hand, a 7.2x increase in a failure condition is probably enough for most companys to disregard a design, regardless of that number.
Now, the MacBook keyboard issue seems to be different, though, and Apple needs to own up to that. It's not a simple repair, though, so they are going to resist that...
Too easy...2014 isn't really that long ago. Apple already addressed this issue in detail. The iPhone 6 met the industry standards of the time for the strength of the case. It's actually kind of sad that MacRumors is attempting to turn it into a "controversy" again. This was heavily reported on long ago.

No. Apple quietly fixes their current phones, then charges $149 to fix the problem for those who have the defective models.This is why I don't get it when people talk crap about Samsung. Manufacturer defects do happen, but when they do happen most companies will do a proper recall.
Except Apple. They will give you a piece of rubber instead.
Go read some of the linked MR articles. Some of the excuses are pretty hilarious. Even funnier some of those people still exhibit the exact same behavior in 2018.They will be here, don’t worry. Apple apologists are like herpes, always come back.
Come say that to my face! Tim isn’t a crook not one bit. Stop trolling!When you got a crook like Tim Cook at the helm, what do you expect?
Yes I trust them!If Apple is not honest with the defects of the iPhones, can you really trust them with your privacy?
What is also missing here is under what conditions is it 7.2x likely to fail?
