iPhone 6 Plus internal design tweak?

post in one of the already running topics. None of us want to see a new topic created just to keep attention on bend gate. And your join date suggests you have bad intentions for starting this. Newbies (and those with low post count) generally start posting in running topics not creating new ones.

Can mods start deleting these?

 

one of lots on here who are bored with the same **** appearing as a separate topic when its been covered in multiple running topics so grow up.

I remember 1997 but I was far from being 4. I remember pong, I remember atari, I remember packman, betamax, vhs winning, rocky being released on vhs, first blood, ghostbusters hitting the cinema, all being introduced

 

I brought this up earlier in another thread.

The only thing that makes sense to me on the delays of the Plus is that they did want to secretly apply a fix such as reinforce the casing before releasing more.

People seem now to be getting their orders though. we'll see.

if this is the case, im fine with having to weight a few more weeks.

 

I think there very little chance that Apple will strengthen 6 plus design. That would mean they recognized there is a flaw and may obligate them to replace the units already sold. The iPhone 6S plus may be redesigned to increase strength. I think Apple underestimated the demand for the 6 plus and they are in short supply. Also I'm sure that fact that they just released it in 20 additional countries and getting ready for an October 17th release in China are also constraining supplies.

 

Personally I feel like the amount of stock for the 6+ is fine for what is happening. Apple made 2 different iPhones for the very first time (no the 5c doesn't count since it's really just a 5 with a plastic body) so they probably had to decide on which phone that most of their customers were going to buy and focus on making sure that one was in stock no matter what: The iPhone 6.

As for an internal design tweak holding up the 6+ stock? I highly doubt it since Apple has already set a precedent of not fixing design issues in the past (i.e. iPhone 4 antenna issue) and simply doing so for the next generation. At this point I think they feel they can hardly keep up with demand as it is and they are simply cranking out handsets as fast as they can without worry of the extremely low % reports of bending.

 

Perhaps they're out of stock, which is hard for me to imagine. They knew the demand was going to be high, and why would they assume hardly anyone would want the plus model?

They were producing over 500,000 iphone 5s units a day when it was released. Surely they found more ways of being efficient by now.

You're lucky that you have apple stores near you. Closest ones to me are 150+ miles a way!

Im hoping that since i ordered directly through apple, for the no contract device, that i might get it sooner since i dont have to go through third parties such as ATT or verizon.

I'm not sure of the regulations and stuff on electronics. A outter casing tweak doesn't sound like it'd be hard to approve though.

By the way, apple does have a history of secretly tweaking their devices.

 

Sure a thinly veiled topic bringing bend hate to the top of the forum again yawn when this very subject has been discussed and beaten to death in other multiple thread for anyone who isn't lazy enough to read them.


Bend hate is now ios autocorrecting and not me being childish.

 

I wasn't talking to you
