Samsung Responds to SquareTrade's Galaxy S6 Edge Bend Test

I haven't used a case since iPhone 4 and I even went through the 5 and 5s without a case. My phones consistently look better than half the phones in cases when the cases come off. It's amazing what a little bit of dirt in a case will do to scratch up a phone, especially on that black and slate 5. People who drop their phones a lot probably need a case, but I dont, and I've been fine without one for a long while.
Here's a novel idea... perhaps Samsung and Apple can make stronger phones so bending is less of a problem.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
As I mentioned previously yes, the amount of pressure test is silly because it's not real world, which is exactly what people were saying when the attacks were on apple. But it seems Samsung fans weren't willing to admit that until there devices were no longer the strongest under these extreme conditions.
Hopefully Samsung learned a lesson from this experience and the future can compare their devices based on real world testing.

When Samsung actually bends in real life in your pocket, we can then say it's the same problem. Until then, it's not actually the same.
Except that you are confusing numbers. iPhone 6 numbers were orders from end users. Samsung numbers are orders from stores. They aren't sold, the stores have to sell them. Apple probably didn't publish these numbers because every store said "send me as many as you can".
Look, Samsung is going down, 70% less profits in the last year, and it actually doesn't matter one bit what you post, it's not going to change. Their reputation is gone. Everyone knows that they only achieved sales by paying more for advertisements than anyone else, but they don't have the money for that anymore.

No, that's not true. It is true that Apple designs the chips and Samsung produces many of them. But these chips are _not_ in any Samsung phone. Copying the design of the iPhone 3G was bad. Actually using Apple's chip designs would be suicide.
Come on. You know the buzz on this phone compared to the iPhone is low and sales numbers will support that also.
But that is nothing new. There has never been a contest when you compare the the Galaxy S series numbers to the iPhones in terms of sales.
How could the exact same not have been said about the iPhone, then? There were supposedly only 9 iPhones even reported to have bent in real life.
Similar to Samsung, I'm going to guess that bridge doesn't actually reach the moon in a real world scenario.
So you're saying a bent phone in your back pocket is not a poorly made phone. It's telling you, you are too fat.
