Your whole "I'm above it all" spiel is ludicrous considering how revolting your comments about my motivations are (that's going to be reported).
There is no issue to fix.

Don't speak about documented proofs when speaking about those ridiculous videos.
Well, Apple rarely comment on Samsung's stuff, because they don't need too these days, except in court
. I'm not claiming Apple to be clean as a whistle for all eternity, I'm merely commenting on the current situation. Samsung's phone are AOK, just like Apple's phone were. So, the question here is not the fitness of the phone, but merely the desingenuity of their past comments .No I don't think.
I think it's as possible as the phone bent by alien's activity.

Some of your opinions? Some ? Lol
Are you really here to speak about how real bendgate was, even now that a test showed how the new Samsung and HTC products are worse.......
Oh, come on, the ones doing running wild with comments through the online forums, were mostly not current or future Apple owners.
If I had to guess, I'd say 15-25 Android tech geeks, with another good dollop of trolls of indeterminate origin) were the main posters (a quite small sliver of even the Android buying crowd
. Its highly possible that most of these weren't using Samsung phones either, so it is possible your technically right that most Samsung users back then may not have been involved ;-).
You realize that bendgate wan't a real problem, right?
That Apple has sold over 100 million iPhone 6 and 6+ yet there aren't millions of bent phones? We all know iPhones and other phones can bend. They question was, do they bend too easily for normal use? The answer is pretty clearly, no.
Also, the fact that the iPhone bends most frequently behind the volume buttons shows that that is the *weakest* point. But that doesn't mean that point is too *weak*. See the difference? Like The Hulk's eyeballs are probably his weakest point, but if you punched him hard right in the eye you aren't going to hurt him. (Don't do that: you wouldn't like him when he's angry.) See the difference: weakest =/= weak.
Ya I definitely agree that the bad publicity probably helped sell more iPhones. I just wish something as stupid as that hadn't over shadowed how great of a phone it is.
Just about every time someone sees my phone and says "Is that the 6 Plus? How do you like it?" I can see them smirking just waiting to reply to whatever I say with a comment about it bending. Now I usually just say something like, "If I threw a rock at my TV and it broke, it wouldn't make it a bad TV. I'm not going to try bending the phone I spent over $1000 on, so I'm not worried."
Samsung is just manufacturing Apple's chips. That's quite different.
Samsung mobile and Samsung semiconductors aren't the same thing.
Does the fact that your phone bends without actually cracking the screen make your phone better than another? I'm thinking the phone shouldn't bend in the first place. Whether the screen breaks or not should not be a selling point.
"Buy the iPhone 6 Plus. It bends just like the Galaxy 6, but the screen won't crack!"
That's one hell of a sales pitch.

I think you can't possibly make assumptions like that. You have nothing to back that claim up with. Yet you seem to get defensive when people do the same.
What's possible is that many people care more than they should regardless of what phone they own or don't own
People who even try to "test" their phones by attempting to bend them are stupid.
That said, my iPhone 6 Plus was bent right out of the box when I received it back in September. Apple replaced it, no questions asked. I use a belt holster, 90s style, and have never put it in my back pocket. It's still not bent.
So, f&ck Samsung.

They did seem to care six months ago when they stormed the web scandalized about the self bending iPhone 6
Today nobody cares.
Sure.
It is meta meta thread, the worse about the internet comes to roost in here ;-).
No phone bends in a pocket, unless you sit on it.....
But I can clearly see that haters gonna hate, even in front of scientific proofs.
Amazing.

Not really, it was the news media that went crazy with it. It was a product of Apple's popularity more than anything else. Do you seriously believe "Samsung fans" were out in droves screaming about how the iPhone bends? No, you seem like a smart person that wouldn't think something as obviously moronic as that was the case. What is a "Samsung fan" anyway? Most people just own whatever brand fits their lifestyle and doesn't concern themselves with what brand it is. I vacillate back and forth in my life between apple, android, windows phone, etc. It's the ones who have undying loyalty to a single company who are the scary ones, on BOTH sides of the fence.
Sounds like YOU take this a little too seriously. sorry, Y'ALL take too seriously how seriously other people take things. Maybe the voice in your head reading other people's posts needs the volume turned down a little.
On a side note- at least now there's something the Samsung people won't claim they did first
IF we have to provide to provide documentation for guesses (stated as such in my post) Then, posting will become horrible for everyone.
Its not like any assertion that bendgate was somehow related to actual Iphone 6 users rather than a clickbait video is any more couched in hard facts.
By Apple own reporting, there was almost no returns (9) related to this by the time it had reached its fever pitch. And most comments on youtube or this group (and a few other Apple groups) I read (arguably just a small sample) were certainly not from current Iphone 6 users (or even Iphone users) BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION (I didn't ask for this info, they were gleeful to say they didn't own "crappy Apple products" (sic)... and believe Apple users were sheeps (a classic really)).
I've got my faults, but I don't think I'm not the only one to assert things way beyond the facts. Because, we all have our own POV and bias and many things don't have unbiased sources; so they're entirely debatable.
Sorry - whether or not I agree with you doesn't dismiss the fact that your post comes off (to me) as hypocrisy given your criticism of others. But let's not turn this into a he said/she said.
Personally, I wouldn't trust Apple's #s anymore than I would trust Samsung's or any other corp that was facing a media storm about their product. The reality is - even if their # was correct, that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people who have/had bent phones and simply didn't care enough to complain. No one will ever be able to assess that.
ETA: I will add that I do think that Tim is WAY more likely to admit when there are issues than Steve was.
The main issue here is not that phone bends. The issues that we need to discuss are:
1. Injustice / bias. When it happened to Apple vs when it happened to Samsung.
2. Samsung false ads and claims
3. Consumer believes media blindly
4. Stigma on iPhone products
1. Injustice / bias. When it happened to Apple vs when it happened to Samsung.
2. Samsung false ads and claims
3. Consumer believes media blindly
4. Stigma on iPhone products
1. Injustice? Really?
2. False ads? where? The ad that Samsung put out wasn't for the S6.
3. You'll never solve that
4. Stigma on iPhone products is greater or less than it's competitors? Again - never going to resolve that as long as people need to defend or feel threatened by the tech they own instead of caring less and just enjoying it
Thin phones will bend? Now isn't that special!
It was special enough for a company called "Samsung" to make fun of it in their official advertisements... I think that's the point that some people might find slightly amusing.
