I wrote nonsense, so move on.😅

Yes, congratulation for making this claim first. We marked your words. Not facts.

These threads are getting worse 😂

“ just figured I’d call it now before the madness arrives.”
Why? What do you gain from this? Have you had a bet with someone and this thread will be your proof or something?

So it’s been revealed that the iPhone 12 US has an extra antenna “window” on the right hand side, to allow for mmwave tech.

I am calling it right now - this will cause structural issues leading to a new bend gate. This little window looks exactly like the ones used on the iPad for the magnetic connector. Jerryrigeverything, the YouTube guy, has bent multiple iPads with that same little window over the past few years. It hasn’t been solved to this point and I doubt it will in the 12.
Granted the window is not right in the middle, which may help.

not that it really matters. Plenty of people will be able to rock these without bending them, just figured I’d call it now before the madness arrives.

No it's not going to happen.

That whole bendgate was/is such a stupid topic in the first place. I'm sure it all started by some 350lb overweight slob that sat on a wooden bar stool and forgot he/she their iPhone in their back pocket. Of course it bent and somehow or another that was Apple's fault.

Nah, it was real. Most of the time it was hard to notice if the phone wasn’t lying face down, but the original 6 plus did bend super easily. Ultimately led to the “touch disease” issue. There’s a reason they switched to stronger aluminum and made the phones thicker after that.

The straight edge design will be much stronger than the previous generations.

Don’t disagree. Just saying dumb people will make it an issue. Like i said from the start, i dont think its a real issue.

Ohhhhh the irony.....

I had an iPhone 6 that developed that same “touch disease” and it wasn’t fun.

Waiting for OP to return here and make a comment. This is why one should not make a post until after the evidence is in.

Agreed

Who to trust - the most talented group of engineers on the planet or kre62. Hmmm....tough one. Maybe I will wait to see what kre63 has to say.

Most talented group of engineers gave us bendy iPhone 6, butterfly keyboard, bendy iPad Pros

Cool, guess I was wrong and it's not an issue. Thread over.

I hate that I actually watched this and gave the guy a view.

Calling it now ... OP will say it's fake news

No one is saying that they are perfect, but that is very different from saying you trust internet rando over them.

I believe he used the Canadian version which doesn't have the mmwave cut out but i bet it wouldn't make a difference
