So I should treat all my shirts the same. I mean, they are all shirts right. I'll just send my dress shirts through the washer with everything else. I don't iron my t shirts, so why should I treat my dress shirts any differently?
Awww, damnit shirt company - my dress shirts are all wrinkled and faded. What's wrong with the quality control?
No thanks - I'll choose not to believe everything I read on the internet.
Probably a lot closer to 9 (read statistically insignificant) than it is to a significant number.
It can. Mine withstands being in my pockets just fine. In fact, it's there right now. You believe everything you read on these forums right? Since you believe all these people who've posted their iPhones just bent in their pockets with no external pressure or forces.....
I'm quite aware of this. Personally, I wouldn't treat a Note 4 the same as my iPhone 5S either. It's bigger so I handle it differently, I have to be ok that I can't use it one handed. On the positive side it has a larger screen so I can hold it further away from my face, see more content etc.
Apple is in the crosshairs because they are on top. Stories with "Apple" in the headline get clicks. ANYTHING that can be made into a story, WILL BE. Despite it relevance.
Bolded is hearsay. People are claiming as such on the internet. Again, if you want to believe everything you hear, that's fine. But given the tests that have been done, factually its extremely unlikely that these devices are bending under normal use. Unless normal use includes sticking the device in your back pocket and sitting on it......
The antenna issue was widely publicized and proven to have been a defect in the design and hardware. It was easily measureable because the antenna either worked well or it didn't. There wasn't anything a consumer could do (save for the bumper cases). Easily replicated tests proved this.
Consumer reports puts 90 lbs of pressure on a 6+ before it bent. That's a test.
Here's a little anecdote for you. I carry a wallet - in my back pocket. That's generally where men put wallets correct? So that's the normal place for a wallet to go. It's leather - nice. Well I was doing some work on my wife's grandparent's roof. Sitting on the roof, kneeling walking around. I take my wallet out of my back pocket at the end of the day, and lo and behold it's all scuffed up! What a terrible product! I mean I just put it in my back pocket like always! It must be the product/company's fault!
Except I should have been aware that I was sitting on a roof - and all those little pebbles/rough shingles scuffed my wallet while it was in my pocket. See I had my wallet in a normal place, but the circumstances were not normal (I don't usually do roof work). I SHOULD'VE taken my wallet out of my pocket.....but I didn't think to.
Point of that story is - I don't deny that people's iPhones have bent while in their pockets. But SOMETHING ELSE had to have happened to do so. Either they were squatting with relatively tight jeans on, or leaned up against something.....I don't know.
But regular sitting and standing - normal, everyday slacks/pants. There is NO WAY the iPhone is bending. I can move mine around in my pocket so there's not even enough force to hold it in one place.....let alone bend the damn thing.
Well, good luck getting through that. If you make it all the way here, congratulations.
