Quite astounding until you run into an issue yourself. Never say never. Oh right, iPhone's are invincible. I forgot!

Guess these folks are seeing things?
Hahaha, relax ... consider the context of my reply.
There are people [in this thread] claiming recurring issues, across multiple generations, multiple devices, and claiming severe problems within a small circle of users - statistically speaking, that's pretty astounding. Not too mention, if that was my experience, I would abandon the brand (I've done the same with cars).
Anyway ... if this was the case, I'm surprised given my breadth and depth of experience with mobile devices from all manufacturers, that I've never encountered the same, including a wide circle of family and friends and development teams I've supervised (using iPhones) - FWIW, that [mostly issue free experience] goes for all other manufacturers I've dealt with as well (as your implication of some sort of blindered perspective with regard to Apple on my part is off base
)Is there, on occasion, a fairly pervasive bug? Sure. My post was simply illustrating my current experience, which is mostly indicative of my entire experience with Apple phones. To be honest, even my mediocre experience with Android devices is still significantly better than some of the iPhone incidents posted in this thread.
That's my whole point: when someone says they've experienced continuous problems, across multiple models, and had phones replaced without the problem being resolved - yeah, I find that pretty astounding
Awww did I hurt you feelings? I just don't believe that the iPhone constantly has apps that crash! If so what did you do about it? Did contact Apple support? Did you do a hard reset and setup as new? iPhones aren't perfect and things do go wrong, but the original poster says every iPhone he has had crashes on almost every app and reboots. Now you're saying the 6 is 10 fold worse at crashing apps. You can say it all day long, but I don't have to believe you!

Your experience pretty much describes my time with my HTC One and my Samsung Galaxy S5.
All of my iPhones have been pretty solid. My 3GS, 4s and 5s were basically bullet proof, and my 6+ has been good since they worked out the iOS 8 bugs.
Nope, no hurt feelings here. I don't care if you believe me or not. You just sound a bit naive that's all. Ha! See ya!
Yes, I am very naive to believe that people wouldn't exaggerate or embellish, but you are proof that they do!
Man, I was really hoping for a parody thread (as a few users have attempted to make this), but instead we get the usual butthurt and lack of reading comprehension (he said that he restored and set up as new!). So, in an attempt to derail (or re-rail, if we go by the title of the thread):
You know you're an iPhone when you send an email and it drops ya 10% of your battery life!
