Some iPhone 6 Plus Owners Report Bending Phones Just From Sitting Down

[julian]

Not to mention, the iPhone 6 Plus has a camera lens protruding slightly from the back, so the phone doesn't even sit flat on a table!

@julian what they didn't mention was that they were 300lbs hipsters in skinny jeans..

Apple is really ahead of the curve with this new adaptive-bend technology.

They've also pulled 8.0.1, so I've got it downloaded, but it won't install, because it's not on the server. So I'm getting constant reminders to update, but can't. I mean. How much do Apple need to screw up before people start realising that this isn't worth paying for. It's like paying £100 for a u2 album, they used to be good, they wish they were still good, but the painful thing is, they're shit.

Fortunately I got my iPad through my old company, but I definitely wouldn't buy the iPad Air etc. It's just not worth it.

Says it all really. No wonder apple have lost $26 billion in stock pricing in the last 2-3 weeks. Just goes to show how obnoxious apple are in the grand scheme of things. I cannot wait for the law suits on this one. Maybe this is the final nail. Seems apple just isn't apple without Steve Jobs keeping it afloat.

Plus the UK is lucky enough to have the sale of goods act of 1979. Unlucky USA.

Well that was expected, the number of phones that bend are more than the actual stocks, the problem is linked to the product design (aluminium seriously) so replacing an unit doesn't means the problem won't happen again. So the solution is to say you're not covered we don't have to replace your unit, have fun
This will go into process for Apple and we'll see what happens at this moment, but they surely can't change the phones without producing a brand new model and losing a lot of money. But what's the worse, losing money or customers ?

Hah wow, that chat is something alright...
