Man bends iPhone 6 in front of China Apple Store

Designing is an exercise on compromise. Designer picks the best possible combination of looks vs practicality, durabilty vs cost effectiveness and so on, enhancing looks might compromise on ergonomics or vice versa. I remember my first phone-Nokia, made out of steel (figuratively), dropped it 3 stories on concrete and yet it didn't break. Now can i say my older phone was better than the one I am using right now which might not even survive fall from my desk? I would like to think not, as I have invested substantial greens to ensure otherwise.
I am sure their must be sturdier chinese phones in the market but question is are they as light or as thin as I phone?

Thanks to these people on youtube I atleast know what not to do with my phone. Earlier I was planning to use my phone to open jammed doors.. duhh! Next they can maybe use a tablet and see if it can be used to hammer nails!!



Wtf you jumbo jumbo on about? No one ask your opinion about the layout or the marketing campaign for the iPhone.
 
I love to admit that I love my iPhone quality and reliability. :)
 
I do like iphone. I would never buy it within 1.5 year of release though.
 
dude, get out of Capitalist Communist Politics, :D you know what, we can smoke a joint together. ;)

fitty is a mispronounciation of fifty. children and lispy talk..

oh yeah...free to do aanything.
How get out of? you forget in china, we lack of freedom, hehe!

And, if I escape from CCP to India, which caste I belong to? high or low.
 
more stuff needs to be done like this in order to hurt apple sales. They sell you useless junk
 
No one is forcing you to buy these phones and any idiot who either intentional bends one or buys a large $700-900 USD phone then puts it in the front pocket of their tight trousers and sits down deserves to endure the consequences.

I'm more than happy with my iPhone 6 Plus but know to look after it- as should any sensible human being.

Well said.

That's the whole point posting such a thread :)

I would say, love your iWhatever, but, just be more careful when dealing with the device. Remember, with high tech comes high responsibility.

And looks like Indians (Indian media, I mean) are conspiring with the CCP to conspire against Apple.

Even as Apple Inc comes to terms with reports of its latest iPhone 6 Plus' aluminium body being prone to bending in tight pockets, Philip Letcher, a US entrepreneur, reports a shocking accident involving his new Apple iPhone6.

In his blog, Letcher illustrates the entire incident narrating how it happened and what happened to him after his phone caught fire. He has also added a few images explaining what happened to his clothes and the phone in a video posted on YouTube.

Letcher isn't the first to complain about the bending issue, but he is probably the first to have reported phone on fire.

He writes that he and his family went to Arizona for a weekend vacation on 11 October to attend a Soccer match. While they were walking to a tailgate party, they noticed two rickshaws on the street.

"We didn't get much more than a block down the road when the driver/biker caught a trolley track in the road and lost balance. He fell over causing the rickshaw to tip to the left. Fortunately, the rickshaw didn't tip all the way over, and we were not thrown out. I was half on, half off the rickshaw as I was sitting on the left side of the seat."

Letcher then felt a burning sensation in his leg and could smell smoke from his pants.



"The smoke was thick and I quickly got down to get the APPLE iPhone 6 out of my pocket. The smell was disturbing. I could feel my leg burning. I pulled the Apple iPhone 6 out of my pocket and threw it to the side. Someone from a crowd of spectators threw a cup of water on my leg to put the fire out on my jeans."

The leather case on the phone saved his fingers from burning while taking it out of his pocket. "A bystander was not so lucky; he picked up the phone without the case and burned his fingers. With a crowd looming, another bystander then put Ice water on the phone to cool it off while a 3rd observer took the below video. Listen closely, you can hear the sizzling," he writes.

It's very important to name and shame all US brands in order to damage their reputation.

American media have hyped their brands and brainwashed the whole world.
