Do we think the 6S will be stronger?

[Newtons Apple]

I will gladly take that bet....0% chance they don't address it. They won't make a big deal about it, but the teardown will show a difference.

Betting it will not ! You got Paypal?

 

[crashoverride77]

Dude is says BLOG in one of your links....all those sites are blogs. My point is there are just as many links showing bending as show the phone is strong because...Consumer Reports. I am not going to rehash the bending thing with you, that has been done time and time again. Go to one of the other threads and read all about it. Apple would be proud of you today, you protected the brand. Now take a break, because I won't respond again.

"more" future proof than a phone with essentially the same guts as previous generations.

Omg.

The first 2 links, if you would have actually read them, were talking about SquareTrade.

This link talks about COMSUMER REPORTS, I'm sure you know who they are.

 

[KdParker]

Calling someone an idiot for a legitimate durability concern on an expensive device? Just buy it why....because Apple? That is terrible advice. You are delusional if you are trying to say the 5 bends as easily as the 6+.

on que....

But I agree that bendgate is not a real issue.

Op...if you are that concerned then waiting for the 6S will not guarentee that there will be any difference in the design. But IMO there is not an issue with bending for the iPhone 6/6s.

I like my money too much to put it on something this stupid, but I'll take changing your avatar to whatever for 60 days. I should have mine on in a few hours.

I'm definitely skipping the 6/6+ and just hanging onto my 5s for now. I consider it a superior phone simply because it doesn't bend as easily. I'll live. We'll see what next year brings. I'll probably pick up another Android phone up soon just to satisfy the urge to have a new phone. I'm waiting for Lollipop to be more widespread - also hoping a nice Android phone might come out with the new symmetric USB 3.1 connector.

 

[crashoverride77]

These links actually prove that you don't know what you're talking about, and you're just angry at people talking negatively about your investment. These reviews were done shortly after the 6's release, before the widespread problems were known.
I agree that for someone who never puts an iPhone 6 or 6+ in a pants pocket, especially a back pocket, they will likely never see a bending problem. But for someone like my son in college, who's been sitting on an iPhone 4s for two years without incident, replacing the 4s with any current iteration of the iPhone 6/6+ would be, to coin a phrase, idiotic.

No.
They did stress tests on the new phones like they do with every new device.
Please show me the widespread problems reported. You don't know what you taking about.

Also giving your son, who sits on phones, a 600-700 dollar device is idiotic. There is no hope left if people think high end phones, that cost as much as a laptop, can be treated like a Nokia phone from the 90s. Unreal

I did, there is to many idiots around. All you guys is talk about bendgate but show me no facts. MacRumor way these days.

I don't have kids, but i surely wouldn't give him such an expensive device when he doesn't treat it as such.

Yes, your factual blog links have convinced me. I have changed my mind and there no proof existing on the internet or the real world to show otherwise. The 6+ is the sturdiest iPhone (no...cellular telephone) to date and does not bend. Thanks for finally helping me see the light!

He treats it fine. And it was the 4/4s' durability that was a selling point. Which continued with the 5/5s. I just think it's ridiculous that the newest version is less durable, and that here are deniers like you giving bad advice about it.

The iPhone 4/4S is a small device with a thick cross-section. Take ANY phone as long/large as a 6/6+, put it in a back pocket, and sit your ass down on it, and you'll eventually have a broken phone.

Blogs that talk about SquareTrade and Consumer Reports that did the ACTUAL tests. How many times?
Bendgate is like the science vs religion debate. Some people will believe in religion because they don't use real evidence that dispute their claims/believes, while other people that actually use real evidence believe in science. Guess whos side the people are on that believe in bendgate.

Happy now

iPhone 6 is stronger than an HTC One according to Consumer Report. SquareTrade also said its more durable than most big screen phones even outscoring the iPhone 5S. It might not be the strongest phone ever but it's up there especially for its thinness, so bendgate is BS.
It's only because it's Apple and they sold so many devices that this rumor crap happens every year. Same with ios 8 or Yosemite.

 

[Woochifer]

I believe apple will make a minor adjustment to add strength to the weak point in the chassis...much like the tweaked antenna band design on the 4S vs the 4.

Exactly. Apple modified the antenna design when they introduced the CDMA-enabled iPhone 4, and this carried over to the entire lineup when they introduced the 4s.

Despite "antennagate" being touted by the lazy tech press as some scandal, Apple never changed the original antenna design for the GSM iPhone 4. Everything just died down when the tech press' short attention span moved onto the next manufactured scandal.

This whole bending issue is more of the same. Apple will likely carry over the basic shell design, but the internals will probably have a modification of some sort that just happens to also reinforce that weak spot. The 6/6 Plus will carry over with no change.

This is no different than how the "fix" for the iPhone 4 antenna just happened to also be needed for CDMA reception, and carried over to the 4s in order to support dual mode.

Should we not all be nice to each other. Each of us have our own opinion and we should respect it.

That makes so much sense, well said!

 

[iososx]

Years of Apple history reveal much of what they do secretly. Not stupid, just massively arrogant and stubborn, Apple won't let next year's model be so flimsy. They'll improve it without a word, just like past fixes of big mistakes.

AntennaGate was very real.

Embarrassing Steve so badly he lost it and his rage revealed itself even though he tried his best to hide it. Going to great lengths over several days, he couldn't explain it away to those who think for themselves. Only the worshippers bought the fairytale Apple was selling.

I had the dreaded iP4 AntennaGate phone, followed by an iPhone 4S that was so good it became one of the best iPhone's of all. Apple got serious and did their best work on the iPhone 4S, too bad it took a public beating to wake then up.

Apple is highly talented, capable of even better work than they're currently putting out, but they don't have the motivation. Money has gone to their heads.

 

[crashoverride77]

Yeah makes so much sense unless you actually have real common sense. Sitting on a high end device is apparently normal or spewing nonsense that the tests were done before some phones were bend. It was stress tests and not a phone review. All the tests confirm that I'm the one talking sense and you guys talk a lot BS without any proof apart from some Twitter pictures and forum complaints.

Ah antenna gate, the phenomenon that happened on a lot of mobile phones, especially at the time.
Apple is putting out their best work at the moment be it software or hardware and reviews and sales proof that. You know what doesn't proof your claims, the few people in this forum.

 

[jpeg42]

Ah antenna gate, the phenomenon that happened on a lot of mobile phones, especially at the time. Pff

I returned my 4 the first day due to Antennagate (didn't even know that it was a gate at the time). My replacement phone, the first Galaxy, did not have these issues. It was very real and the media backlash made the 4S a much better device. The same will happen to the 6(+)S pffff all you want. You are just being a blind fan boy

Totally.
I'm not a fanboy and I would love to show it, if you would actually bring up a valid argument.
You know what actually makes you the fanboy, talking nonsense and not backing it up. You, like all the other guys in here, just talk big and proof very little.
