Did you even READ that whole article?
Near the end, it says Apple is AWARE of the problem but denies it has to do with defective NAND flash memory (as people on the forums are just guessing at, right now).
Sounds like they're well aware it's a bug in iOS ... has probably been there since the very beginning, and never came up until people started getting large enough capacity phones to actually load them up with 700 or more apps at a time.
Big deal! This kind of thing just requires a software patch to correct. Your insistence that this has to be a bug due to not terminating apps properly to free memory doesn't mean the large libraries aren't what triggers it! When you fill up larger amounts of RAM, all of the counters have to increment higher to address those higher memory addresses. If there's some problem with addressing values above a certain number or range -- presto. Your problem happens, but only with enough apps loaded.

You have grossly misunderstood me, I didn't imply the Firestone issue minor!
I was pointing out using that your Firestone example of a minor iPhone issue, is clearly not even close to the same as well as your 911!
Unless you feel the iPhone issue is going to cause peoples death, your example is not even close! If you feel these are of the same degree, please don't buy an iPhone, or take it back if you do. Maybe seek some help as well!
Those are only counting the documented cases. When my brand new rMBP had to be repaired because of unresponsive keyboard, the reason printed on the work order was customer satisfaction. I'm guessing the same for all the bent iPhones.
Not sure why you quoted me, I believe I clearly stated by belief that you are experiencing this! Quite frankly, your post is the most believable one I've read.

oops. no hard feeling my man
anyway, i have applecare+ so i guess it won't be an issue if this problem came back.
and to be clear .. i'm not complaining or anything like that. i just saw 128gb owners and decided to post my experience with my 16gb model. i don't know what it is, what causes it, how can you fix it (i fixed mine by accident, or at least i hope it's fixed). but seeing blue and red screens (of death?) was like, DAMN scary. we'll see how it goes. at least my GFs 64gb is doing fine because if HER phone would've been acting up.. it'd be worse. for me, ha.

If the phone locks up, reboots or becomes inoperable during a 911 call because of THIS issue, then yes, the phone issue can cause unnecessary deaths.

No problem, and your original post did not sound like complaining, more like you didn't want people to rub in! I would feel the same! That's really why I posted your Quote.
Good luck with Apple Care+, always works for me!
"the prevalence of the problem has not been established and an exact cause remains undetermined."
MacRumors trying to fill space, and fuel speculation.
Okay, you win.
Please go to the nearest Genius Bar, get a replacement ASAP before someone dies from this major problem.

What's new.....
Except if you count build quality which is horrible for the price. But otherwise, AOK...
Seriously, you are one hell of a drama queen! And this in ALL YOUR POSTS on ANY SUBJECT.

You speculate on something that's ALREADY a speculation. That's getting out there...
Well this is upsetting. I was planning on ordering a 128 GB iPhone 6 Plus next week... Now not so sure I want to. I don't want to order and then have to wait a month for a defective product especially considering I'd be paying $950 (non-contract)... Oh what to do???
look! steve jobs' ghost!!
Maybe that's what is causing the crashes? He's back to haunt the phone that he himself would never have released! /s
There has been a 128GB iPad on the market for 2 years now.. wouldn't this kind of software bug of been caught by now?
theres an ongoing endurance test going on on a samsung 120gb TLC nand
so far it's written and read like 78TB of data with no failure.
to give that some sort of scale, youd have to fill up your 128gb iphone to the brim, empty it, refill it...and repeat, 650 times...and it'd reach the state that the benchmark is at - no failure.
anand's test of writing and rewriting the same drive at 10gb a day, results in projected expected lifespan of 35 years.
I saw another test, with a bumped up write amount - 40gb a day..and that results in a projected lifespan of 7 years.
in other words, your phone's more likely to need new batteries before the TLC NAND fails.
dont worry.

I've had a few software issues, but nothing huge. And nothing like the article describes. I had a 64GB I had to return because it had terrible battery life, but all 3 of the 128GB 6+ devices we have in our house now don't have battery or boot issues.
Ouch ! not good..
Triple-level-cell to boost performance/capacity..
And being new, u know there's going to be issues.. Case closed
If its a known issue, then better roll ya sleeves up for another replacement program...
(That didn't take long, it only seemed like yesterday there was one)

I actually did experience this. Specifically when switching between apps. Apple screen appeared, and boom comes the soft restart.
