iPhone 6 thread.

[McGherkin]

I can confirm with absolute certainty that my iPhone 4 does not bend by hand. It will not s**t itself if I put it in the pocket of my overalls, even in a heavy engineering environment.

Not that there's a lot Apple can do about a phone that thin being bendy, but it's a clue that phones are becoming less and less practical for the sake of cool y0. I'd rather something the same size as the 4 again, only with a better battery, faster processor and better camera, easily achievable and wouldn't mean having to get a new case for every single phone. Oh well.

At least they got one up on Samsung - they could only come up with a bendy screen.

 

[MarkCup]

WHAT! I bought it specifically for this purpose. VEXED.

You didn't.

You bought it to be a phone, and ideally, a phone that doesn't bend. One out of two isn't bad I suppose.

No i bought it to set fire to it and shoot it with a 50 cal.

To appease you i just checked my phone, its not bent. (its even been in my pocket)

But these tests do highlight that you can still break things if you apply enough force that your hands shake, shoot it with a 50 cal or set fire to it with thermite.

 

[Gavin.]

How dare Apple not think about the effect of physics when making the new phones. I mean come on, it's just not on! I mean too much pressure will cause it to bend? Ludicrous!

 

[Gally]

I remember seeing pics of iPhone5s bent after release.

Really surprising...

Person puts phone in back pocket and sits on it. Outcome - shocking

If sat on my MBP I'm sure something bad would happen... So I don't!

Ahh the old "welsh hate" standby.

Works every time

 

[Gareth]

I'm sure it's not just the back pocket which is being questioned here though, people are almost as likely to do that with it in their front pocket if it's a pair of jeans with smaller pockets for example.

 

[-J-]

It's a design feature if the 6+. Allows the phones to become ergonomic when you force your giant phone into your skinny jeans.

[Budgie]

iP4's are tough stuff. This thing would bend a brick before it bends the phone.

Literally.

Can confirm not bent.

 

[Stunty]

iPhone 6+ can bend

It's a subliminal message from Apple.
Telling you to fold your 6+ down to the dimensions of a sensible sized iPhone. Ooh, like the 6.....

Heads up.

Heads up.

Apparently Vodafone users lose service when they go to 8.0.1 so I've held off.

 

[DB.]

Love my 6, quite a good upgrade from a 5.

I'm selling mine in 2 weeks so not bothered updating.

 

[cafcross]

8.0.1 a week after 8 came out?

Why not just develop it properly Apple?

 

[unofficialPete]

is will it bend the new will it blend?

 

[eugegall]

Apple only made the 6 Plus for girls with handbags to put them in. They never actually thought a real man would buy one so if you did, put it in your pocket and it bends. Serves you right.

Apparently not covered under warrantee if you're a man and it bends!

 

[dk]

No it's not, be careful! Not sure why anyone would post something like this and risk people destroying their phone, it's 1 minute 40 seconds not 50, those extra 10 seconds could ruin your phone.

I think you'll find that depends on whether you have an 800 watt or a 900 watt microwave.

+1

I bring my 5 to the gym every morning to listen to music on and it feels so small and dated compared to the 6! I absolutely love my 6. Brilliant phone. The touch ID is really useful too.

Heads up.

Mines saying its up to date with 8.0 so I'm guessing this has been pulled

 

[Tom]

it has, i stupidly updated.

Ballache. Thank f**k im near a mac.

 

[Knuckles]

iP4's are tough stuff. This thing would bend a brick before it bends the phone.

Literally.

Wtaf do you use that thing for?!

 

[Adamm.]

Wow so they are bending now? Bit crap that, didn't the iphone 5 have similar issues?

Sounds like they went tits up after the 4s.

 

[eugegall]

Thank god I've not done the update.

What they f**k is going on with Apple... Oh Steve Jobs died.

 

[Gareth]

Yep, gone downhill since Steve.

 

[Munson]

Anyone getting excited about these bending stories is a complete and utter c**t.

 

[Tom]

Back on 8.0, fairly easy thankfully. Apple really fucked that up

 

[Munson]

Back on 8.0, fairly easy thankfully. Apple really f**ked that up

My battery drained a few percent today. This would never have happened under Scott!!!

 

[Mr R.]

I wouldn't have let it.

 

[BatFastard]

Had the phone since Saturday. Today is the first time I've found the battery acceptable (first day with my usual usage). Not been on iOS for 3 years but I've been finding it a joy to use. I'll give it a couple more weeks before I decide which direction to go and if the battery is acceptable for my use.

 

[DB.]

My battery was at 100% yesterday evening at about 8pm.

Didn't charge it overnight, played on it a fair bit, plaid music out loud on it in the kitchen for half an hour this evening and used it like I used to use my iPhone 5.

I now still have 41%. My old iPhone 5 would have died at midday!

 

[Budgie]

Wtaf do you use that thing for?!

Keeping the empire ticking over, mainly.

In all seriousness, everything.

 

[sneeks]

Happy with my 6, a nice upgrade from the 5. I originally wanted the 6+ but on viewing one at the Apple Store I changed my mind, it is huge.

Hammering, scribing, podging, emergency axle stands?

is it still going strong?

I'm the same, very happy with my 6 so far. Just got it all restored from all the stuff on my 5. The size from the 5 to 6 is a nice jump, far more noticeable than the 4 to the 5.

I wasn't fussed by the 6 Plus as I never found the 5 undersized so the Plus didn't take my fancy anyway. Saw it in the shop and it was monstrous, almost ridiculously big. If it's going to be your only i device then I could perhaps get why it could offer the best of the phone/tablet world but as phone it's almost a bit daft.
