So that's why you could look at the 6 and it would bend.

Most of the people who were having bending issues. 

 

But also, I really can't for the life of me figure out why anyone really uses their back pockets. It's just uncomfortable -- I mainly use them for my keys when I'm about to leave so I have easy access to them in the next thirty seconds when I'm going to need them (otherwise they're in my front pocket under my wallet).

Lol Androids have much larger batteries and don't last as long. Optimization beats brute force.

The same goes for CPUs . It's a miracle I'm still living with a 1GHz single core iPhone 4. Can't imagine any Android with similar horsepower being usable when the highest OS is installed.

Girls wearing skinny jeans that have piss poor front pockets.

There was even a thing going around on facebook a few years ago that was telling girls to buy "boy's" skinny jeans because they fit the same, but had deep front pockets. Big component of it was to have a good place to put one's iP6 and other phones.

In this case, I find iFixit way too generous in their repairability rating. 6/10 for non-repairable back glass, and a sandwich-soldered logic board? Those are 2 of the 3 common repairs to be expected (the other being the front screen). 

While I agree the rating may be a bit too good, I don‘t agree that the sandwiched logic board is gonna be an issue. Having had a broken iPhone 6 (screen not working properly; confirmed to be an issue with a chip on the board - non bent casing, but bendgate went beyond that sadly) I couldn‘t find a shop online in my country that could have repaired it. With only a single connector (is that one soldered to the board or not?) it should be quite uncommon to break as long as it can‘t bend.

I see a lot of them.

 

And I don't understand why. Apart from being uncomfortable and putting more pressure on the phone's chassis, if you have big phones like the iPhone Plus, it pokes out of the pocket in a very obvious manner to the point where it's very tempting for pickpockets.

 

I always put mine on the front right pocket.

That is an unusual layout.  I suspect they would have avoided that had there been any choice, so this design must really have pushed the limits of that they are capable of.

Interesting and odd battery design. That A11 chip size though.

The A11 is 30% smaller than an A10.

Ah yeah. Was on phone when I saw the post so looks quite different on PC now.

Edit: Ow and A5X so huge.
