It's not a matter of beating them really. I mean if Apple is going to tout such a well built solid platform including meticulous details to build quality, it better be sure stuff like this doesn't happen. It's no different than what Ford Encountered with it's truck beds flexing and bending into the cabins on their off road trucks.
The power of Social Media is what you're seeing. It does allow for millions to say what's on their mind and prove that it's not just kids that say the darnedest things.
Yet NONE of them will sell anywhere close to 10M units in the opening weekend.
That's really gotta annoy them to no end.
That's the beauty of the Android ecosystem: Different devices, from different companies, to chose from
yea, because Apple's great material is really working out now eh? Keep bendin' boy HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Dude, I love my Apple devices but you seriously cannot justify the iPhone 6 plus bending, telling people to take it out of their pockets...
Reminds me on antennage ... 'You're holding it wrong'
HTC nailed it.
"Designed to withstand the most demanding environments. Like your pockets."
Now call me idiot. Don't care. My life's good anyway.

I don't normally like this sort of advertising, but you know what, if it makes Apple suck it up and actually improve their structural integrity then I'm all for it. This has been an embarrassing week to be an Apple fan, with the bending issues, iOS 8 bugs, the update killing phones, the revelation that they've been sitting on information about how iCloud is vulnerable. Cook needs to get his butt in gear.

Lol I'm sure if the Galaxy old so the iPhone he'd say ''sales don't matter''.
Can you blame them? They shoudlve done some more field tests for this product before release. Very un-Apple like, especially since they will be replacing bent units for the next X years until they fix this issue.
Are they? Subject those phones to the same stresses we see in the silly videos on the iPhone 6 and see what happens....
True, I have 5S and I always pull it out of my pocket while sitting or driving. It is really unpleasant to keep it there. I cannot imagine how awful the humungous 6+ will feel in the pocket!
I really don't care if the company who's products I buy is profitable or not. It's a phone and will it serve my purpose for the short product life it's going to have. If Samsung discontinued the Note for profitability reasons, I wouldn't care. It's not an investment piece and it's a commodity that will be replaced by something rather quickly. Samsung isn't going anywhere overall. Back up from that ledge, no need to jump off just yet.
Your question doesn't make sense. Sony, Samsung, HTC, Oneplus, Motorola, LG, etc. don't release their phones at the same time in the year.
Here's some more:

Lol, the candy companies have entered the fray!
