Leaked 'iPhone 6s Plus' Images Showcase Rear Casing and 'Stronger Body'

[nouveau-apple]

Ooh, look. They're making them.

1) ram

2) gold casing should be all gold not turn silver when scratched

That iPhone mght end up being mine, you never know!

 

[KdParker]

Absolutely. The genius told me that it was propaganda and that I just have bent it myself somehow using excessive force.

I am surprise apple just didn't replace it, in my experience they have always been good about replacing items.

 

[Zelmung]

Looks like a flush camera closure! No more protrusion.

 

[H2SO4]

Naw....the haters/paid shills, etc.... will still drum up the same fake arguments.

…and the fanbots and fanboys will still deny them.

 

[KdParker]

My god you people need to get your heads out of the sand. They wouldn't spend time and money fixing a non issue to placate a few people. It was an issue and they know it. They are fixing it this time around. Does Apple send you instructions on how to love your daily lives? Just curious.

Who said Apple fixed anything related to bending?

 

[BuffaloTF]

I think these antenna bands wouldn't be so bad if they colored the aluminum above them to be white... or black on the grey. That window of color is the real problem for me.

 

[KdParker]

…and the fanbots and fanboys will still deny them.

ok....I guess?

But you don't have to be a fanboy to understand that bendgate was pure trumped up and blown way out of proportion.

Honestly I've had the same experience over the years with Apple. They usually solve whatever issue I've had except that time.

Did you try going to a different Apple store (assuming another store was within a reasonable distance)? Sometimes, particular geniuses can be less than helpful.

was it as big a deal as the loudest people made it out to be?

no, probably not. the loudest don't tend to be a majority, just the loudest

but you cannot deny the fact that Apple's iphone went from being able to withstand 140+lbs of force, to just 70lbs. The Iphone 6 was noticeably easier to bend and break than previous models.

this is a factual statement. and there are people who did have it happen to them through normal use. it would be disingenuous, insulting and outright fanboyish to deny that it did happen to anyone.

 

[MacFather]

Deleted.

Good to see Apple finally coming clean about Bendgate.

Now, we just need to see a flush camera, no antenna lines, 32GB standard, 2 GB RAM, a better battery and a 4" size.

The plastic lines are not the antennas. Plastic is non-conductive, it is required to insulate the antennas from the phones body so that the antennas remain the correct size for the wavelengths in use.

Who says it's to fix anything? Any metal will bend under the right pressure... and any glass will break if hit hard enough. If not a single person ever dropped their phone, does that mean they never should've upgraded the screen from Gorilla Glass to Gorilla Glass 2 (and 3 in the 6, and 4 supposedly for the 6s)?

 

[decksnap]

As far as I'm concerned bendgate is very real. Mine bent in the first two weeks, from delicate use. I actually don't think we've heard the last of bendgate. When a generation of 6 users pulls their phones out of their cases after a year or two and tries to lay them flat they'll notice that theirs too is bent, if only slightly.

On the other hand, you do in fact have to be a fanboy to sit there and say anyone this happened to is either lying or paid by Samsung to purposely ruin there phone.

You don't get to have billions in reserves by wasting money fixing stuff that is broken. Rich people don't become rich by wasting there money. It's very simple, companies this size DO NOT spend money they don't have to spend. Case in point, 16GB base model iPhone. Obviously these phones can't be protected from all things people can do them. But they should be able to withstand pocket use and some of them clearly did not.

Moving 2 screw locations is hardly a structural improvement. I wouldn't get my hopes up saying Bendgate has been resolved.

What your talking about has nothing to do with bendgate.

Bendgate was about a major defect that was going to affect a high percentage of iPhone 6/6 plus models. This never materialize because it was trumped up garbage.

I'd say they are screwing around with the phone 6S

lol - you must of had some bad experiences in the past regarding bendgate.

I am simple saying bendgate didn't happen.

Bendgate was supposed to be a defect that was going to affect a high percentage of iPhone 6/6 plus models which we all know was not the case.

But that's not a factual statement, in any regard. 179 pounds of force to break an iPhone 6 Plus, 110 to put a bend into it and remain functional... that's higher than the Galaxy S6... but the important lesson learned through the debates, is this much force isn't in any way considered normal for any of these manufacturers, they are tested for up to 80 pounds of force... and the power button locations, and volume rockers, have been universally the weak points. And as always, there's exceptions where devices are outside the norm and things can happen not just structurally, but with the electronics as well. So no... it isn't "fanboyish" to stick to the facts, you just need to have the actual facts first -- some people had unfortunate issues that are outside the norm. Same as anything you buy.

Surprised Apple hasn't redesigned the ugly back, c-section lines and center the camera.

Well, my brand new phone bent in my pocket while kneeling down in my loose work pants. They replaced it with little fuss. The actual problem was complete and total morons telling me it didn't happen. So yeah I'd say it was more than annoying. Bend gate wasn't supposed to BE anything. It was named that after people started finding there phones bent. Of course it got a lot of press. It's apple and they have set themselves on a pedestal. The horrid press they get when they fail is there own doing. That's what happens when you have ridiculous profit margins and in the past have had really great products. People expect flawless every time.

But they should be able to withstand pocket use and some of them clearly did not.

Again... who says anyone is fixing anything? They've got a new material. Do you know the cost? Because it could be cheaper. It's very simple... when upgrades present themselves, and margins remain the same, you'd be stupid not to take them. And like with the Gorilla Glass, since Corning is updating their entire production lines for their new glasses, it's an at-par upgrade for them to purchase, and likely more expensive to stand still.

And yes, "some" did not. A small fraction of the whole. Just like I should be able to buy a gallon of milk that has a sell-by date 2 weeks out and not have it spoil before then... "some" don't make it that far before going bad. Or, in the electronics world, I should be able to buy a TV and have it last longer than the year warranty... "some" don't make it that far... hence, the warranty guaranteeing me it does.
