Do you tell people their phone is bent?

[deeddawg]

Anyone who compares telling someone that their iphone might be bent to your child is ugly has some distorted views of reality. Using your logic, these bend tests are like child abuse. The fact that you even can defend your position blows my mind.

Wow. That was a simple high level analogy. You're taking it WAY too seriously and digging deep to find a way to misinterpret it. Your second sentence emphasizes that you've gone off the deep end in your non-comprehension of what I wrote.

I suggest you take a step back and maybe not take things quite so seriously...

I guess I am different as I really am not looking at people's phones and do not really want them looking at mine.

There is more to life than your phone

A few weeks and bent phones are everywhere. What will it be like after two years?

Maybe there will be a 6C available in yellow so the phone will look even more like a banana.

Seriously?

Would you walk up to a new mother and say her baby is ugly?

This is clear case where Minding Your Own Fricking Business is the best path; there is ZERO upside to telling someone their phone is bent and LOTS of potential downside.

Your phone is bent iPhone = your baby is ugly!!!! Just wow

A clear case to mind you ***** business. Are you for real?
How is there zero upside if your friend can get there phone replaced with a non defective one from Apple? How is there zero upside if there credit card company replaces their phone with a non defective one? How is there zero upside if your friend becomes aware of the problem and prevent further bending from happening? I can't really see any downside.

The only downside of this is for Apple and Apple apologists. Apple takes a financial hit, and their apologetics have their pride hurt.

So as a an Apple fan and reader of this site I have paid attention to bendgate. Also a bunch of my friends and co-workers have gotten the six and in one case the six plus. A few guys are going caseless. Anyway, from time to time I see a 6 outside of a case and I sometimes notice a very slight bend. I don't mention it since I don't want them to feel bad about their new device.

Do you mention it when you see folks with a bent 6 out in the wild? These are pretty small bends, so it doesn't hurt the use of the phone. And I don't even think it increases the risk. But I do see bends. Of course I'm looking for this. Currently I'm carrying my 6 in a fairly large case. I want bendgate to not exist, but I think on some level it does.

I haven't seen any bent ones, but no, I wouldn't feel compelled to tell anyone that their phone was bent.

[another histrionic post, going back to my original reply to the OP]

LOL. It's like deja vu all over again.

You're having trouble letting go of this one, aren't you. We've already had this conversation. You're welcome to have a different opinion on the matter. No need for ad hominem attacks against others.

Anyway, I'll just refer you to my prior post this morning:

If that is the case why do you keep replying?

 

[deeddawg]

why do you keep replying?

Mostly because I keep getting quote notifications due to you going off into left field with something I've written.
