The iPhone 6 has seen such a dramatic re-design, I was one to call it that there would be a lot of engineering failures. It's normal!
And as an engineer myself, I get to wonder how they manage to come up with so many changes in so little time. They have to work in parallel somehow, because one year is absolutely nothing.

I think I'll wait a bit before picking up an iPhone 6. Not like I have a choice anyway. No stock anywhere. I'd like to know though if there would be a way to tell what new phones had the new memory. Wonder if they'd end up with different SNs.
Then Apple should have not released a higher resolution phone. I'm sure Apple knew of this beforehand, that the 6 Plus was sluggish and not as responsive as the 6, but Apple had to rush the 6 Plus to market. What they should have done was put the A8X chip in the 6 Plus. One can only hope that the 6s Plus will utilize the A8X chip.
Exactly, I believe the iPhone 6 is the most untested release in iPhone history, whether that be software or hardware.
they've had some problems with the 6 but I think for the most part the 6 is the best phone they've ever had, I have no issues with mine.
I have the 128 and it's great.
Any lawyer preparing a class action for the benefit of all the TLC that got the "cheap" SSD?

Problems or no problem, you paid $$$ for a device, and Apple is now putting in an SSD of higher quality, within a little over a month of a device's release.... the return/exchange policy for affected devices should be extended indefinitely. Apple should should be required to replace any devices purchased with the "affordable for Apple" TLC SSDs, or they should take responsibility and issue a recall.
No one wants to be the one that uses a device for 1, 2, 3, 4 years down the road building up to that tipping point when your space gets to a point your phone starts crashing or cycling.

Did none of you read the article here:

It is a dead issue. The initial post was based on a false rumor. There is nothing further to discuss.

wonder if this is what happened to my iPhone 6+ 64GB
still trying to get a brand new iPhone as the replacement has a battery life of a few hours, my iPhone 5 has a better battery life

It's not because there is no issue with the RAM used in the phone. That was a false rumor being spread by Apple's competitors. See the Maclife article referred to in previous posts in the thread. Whatever your problem it's something else, possibly software related.

was now just reading about all this + trying to decifer what was going on
so NAND flash is not an issue? what's causing a lot of brand new iPhones to crash + burn?
they said I had a kernel panic but I still can't believe a brand new iPhone could have one - had one on a MacBook that I had for over 5 years, that at least gives it time to cause enough problems for a kernel panic
there is def something going on with some that should not be happening on 1K iPhones, not everyone's comes on to forums to post and a lot of people have not even been able to get the plus yet
no matter the problem it's a totally bummer to have your iPhone not preform to its best when brand new
You lost me at "a lot" which isn't really a very precise definition of quantity for an engineer, me being an engineer and all that. Perhaps what you meant to state is that Apple has failures like any other company, but the exposure in the press from being, well Apple, tends to blow these failures all out of proportion.

My guess would be ios 8.1 or bad apps or a combination of both. In any case I've not had any problems beyond some apps that were not ios8 or iPhone 6 compatible. Most of those were fixed by the developers and at present all the apps I use regularly are working well enough and the phone itself has never crashed once since I got it at the beginning of October.

There's no real way to gauge how many people out there who are truly satisfied with their new iPhone 6/6+. I returned mine based on the lack of thought that went into a premium class device.
Instead of making excuses for Apple, look at it this way. Me and many other people out there to who paid $1033.11 for a premium product (128GB iPhone 6 Plus) have certain expectations. I for one, expect it to be perfect and flawless in every way. $1033.11 for a 128GB iPhone 6 Plus is a few dollars shy of a 13" 128GB Macbook Air or a 13" 2.5GHz Macbook Pro.
When I hold the latest and greatest, I want to feel that way and let other people in the room know, this is a iPhone 6 Plus, but over the past 2 weeks other than a bigger screen it's plagued with software issues and permanent hardware design issues and when I look at other premium devices that don't have these issues I start to feel stupid for paying so much for a incomplete product.
I love the iPhone and iPad, at the same time I won't allow my emotions to cloud my judgement and the iPhone 6/6+, imho, is a disappointment. I'll just have to hang on to my 5s until they release a 6s Plus.

Macrumors should stay on top of this and update the post on the frontpage. Not everyone is going to look through the comments and find a link, go to it, and read it to find out its a rumor. The longer the frontpage isn't updated, the more this rumor is going to propagate.
Maybe they will. It's the weekend so they probably don't get to everything as quickly as they might. At any rate it's up to them to close the thread now that the whole thing has turned out not to be true.
Yeah, I'm waiting for the next patch, if it keeps doing it I'll get it replaced. I have applecare which I love!
Other sites have now updated their articles to label this as a hoax brought on by a single Korean news outlet.
Where is the update Macrumors? Or are you content to pass off fiction?
Woah, so because I use terms like "a lot" instead of a specific count number makes me an impostor?
Look, I didn't want to go through all this again in my head and give you a specific count : bend-gate, nand-gate, hair-gate and beard-gate, iOS-8.0.1-update-gate, bluetooth-gate, wirelurker virus, the ugly bands, iCloud drive document losses, the replacement of Camera Roll vs Photo losses, WiFi sync failures, etc.
Of course I have to give you that Apple being Apple doesn't help, because they define themselves as the perfection in the premium products class, thus they get A LOT of media attention when anything bad happens. (And no, I don't have a specific count for this "A LOT" either
)

It is bad to say that problem is in 6 or 6+ devices. I have a 5s 64gb and crash every times... I have 2 reboots in the past half an hour...
In 7.1.2 works preety good... With iOS 8 cames the problem..
All apps (for example whatsapp or facebook or twitter, which works fine in most of devices) CRASH ON STARTUP. And the reboots are very frecuently...
You guys have 1 year warranty to waits wondering its a software problem (that its probably) but i only have 60 days, and i wont waits a software update, because noone confirm that a software update solve my problems...
Because that in a few days i bring my phone back to an applestore and change to another one.
I restored several times to iOS 8, 8.1 and 8.0.2, sometimes in normal mode and sometimes in dfu, nothing works.
In crash reports the most of them sais EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL) or EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS).
I dont know what is that, and if its releated with this errors in TLC NAND FLASH MEMORY... Please help Apple!!!!!!!

If you restored your phone as new and it still had problems like that it's probably hardware related, but of course completely unrelated to the falsely reported TLC NAND memory in the iPhone 6 since you have a 5s. Do go back to the Apple Store for a replacement.
Do you pay full price for your phones? I do because I'm one of those grandfathered plans with unlimited data. If you paid over $1000 for a PREMIUM class phone wouldn't you make a big deal if it wasn't perfect in every way?
Definite issue with both mine and my wife's 6+ 128GB units.
When this happens, you suddenly see the white Apple logo on a black screen, that I usually see when the phone is being turned on. This lasts between 5-10 seconds then the phone comes back to the "home page" displaying the apps.
When it happens I noticed that it also resets the "battery usage" section where it shows usage and standby times but does not effect battery usage by app % figures.... The battery and standby times are replaced with a - symbol as if they've been reset.
Happens on both our phones, not linked to any one particular app or function and is not deliberately repeatable. Both phone have 100 or less apps so it is not related to massive numbers of apps as others have alluded to.
My phone has 63GB free and my wife's is almost empty as we have not yet put her music or videos on it yet.....
