BendGate seems to have died a bit, mostly after Apple claimed "Only 9 were affected".

 

A blog has appeared with more than 300 pictures of bent iPhones. (May not all be real, but there is a overwhelming amount)

 

They claim to 

 

 

We aim to find all 9 of them.... Any maybe more.

Post if you have 1 of the nine

I am not saying Apple is bad. But after my Z1S surviving internal water for 2 days. I guess the iPhone 6 should survive a pocket.

There are also pictures of bent phones in bent cases.

 

Users claim that "It's too thin, I am more afraid of dropping it"

 

I am not attacking apple, it's just a thing. I really thought that this was over.

The Iphone 4/s has this problem too, it's not just the 6/s, my little brother's 4s is bent granted not as bad as what the 6's are but it's still noticeable.

That thing is like really thick and strong compared to the 6. I don't know if that's really a thing. Only like 3 cases.

Well, I know two people at my school with a 6+.. Both their first phones.. Well one is their first smartphone (she already smashed the screen on it), and another is his first phone. (Spoiled much? I had to work to get a phone)

Lets see how many need to be reported before Apple does something about it.. I don't think getting a device as thin and as light as possible is good.. Build quality is much more important, it is a HUGE selling point of the device.

Yeah, the back of my iPhone 4 I had managed to warp the back glass and it was falling apart, wasn't paying $500 to replace it.. Never really liked iOS IMO.

Considering the number that were sold, however, 332 is well within the range of acceptable failure.

 

I'm not defending Apple here... But this whole bend gate thing is incredibly over-hyped, over something that isn't all that ground breaking.

 

My wife's first S5 shipped with a DOA screen, the second shipped with a faulty battery. Third one works fine. Both of those failures were, again, within the range of acceptable failure.

4.3 defects per million is the typical standard for manufacturing.

So... If they sold 90 million units (approx.), then about 300-400 cases is within standard. They're nearing 20 million sales last I heard.

From the stand point of manufacturing, they need to tighten up some regulations.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

And that's just of reported bends.. If someone was anything like me he'd just RMA it.

On that site.

There could be more cases unfound or unreported, 300-400 defects is still a bad number.

Ah, I guess I wasn't either lol.

It's funny, though, because I still do appreciate Apple as they currently stand.

If it's not broken, take it apart and fix it.
