Keeping Your iPhone 6 in Your Pocket May be Warping it - Update 2

It's Apple. If they can't do the research to see what happens to their phones in a pocket, they're not going to care about that.Vault101 said:
I now want to see, just for shits and giggles, a bend test of the old Nintendo GameBoy. The original.
Just to see how far we've come. XD

The memory used in iPhones is not SD quality. A SD card would simply fail in half the use cases.walrusaurus said:
The internal iPhone memory is a tiny SSD, and iOS needs it to be that fast.
I actually, no joke, expect something just like this. I've already had Apple fans look at me weird when I said I didn't understand the point of such a big, thin phone when you can't fit it in your pocket. As in, look at me weird for wanting to put my phone in my pocket instead of in a purse. "But it has incredible resolution and blah blah for games and photos and watching TV!" If that's the main thing they want out of a phone, why not buy a tablet?RoBi3.0 said:
I have a 4S and it's the last Apple product I'll ever buy. I already think it's too fragile and that UI redesign is absolutely horrid. I'll really miss the voice recognition since I dictate memos and lists constantly, but their stuff just isn't worth the price and I want a more durable, practical product.
you can loose signal by covering the phone in your hands on any phone. the problem with iphone 4 was that they installed the antenna in the place where people usually cover thier hands whereas on normal phones its installed in place you dont usually cover it (and actually modern phones have TWO antennas so that if you cover one the other is still functional). mobile signal itself does not penetrate human body, thus hands can block it.Paradox SuXcess said:
you should not need a case for anything if the phone build quality was adequate (with exception of really dangerous enviroment, like if your work includes constantly bumping into things that could hit the phone hard ect)Charcharo said:
Apple has become a follower of the other brands, it finally makes an iphone over 4.5" after years of delays

I have never really liked Apple phones, and the only Apple product I own is an iPod classic, and that is the way I am going to keep it. I am quite happy with my Sony Xperia E1. I don't like the thought of spending most of a month's wage on a phone that I can't put in my pocket.
I have a Nexus 7 tablet I'm quite fond of, but while that's not a phone, my brother has a Nexus 5 phone that seems every bit as good as my tablet. My phone is an old piece of crap barely worth being referred to as a smart phone. It's got a physical keyboard which is why I like it.marioandsonic said:
Apologies for the late response, but I just got into this thread and saw your post.Whatislove said:
Anyways, I'm going to have to greatly disagree with the notion that this kind of frailty is acceptable with even a $500 phone. Maybe something around $100 - $200... maybe. But a phone that costs as much as an Xbox One with Kinect or a mid-low range desktop (let alone something that costs as much as a moderately high-end PC rig like the iPhone 6) being too fragile to even keep in your pocket (where phones are often kept) is absolutely outrageous.
I don't think it is even acceptable on a $100-200 phone. I just conveyed my message a little differently than I was thinking.V da Mighty Taco said:
What I meant was that this type of thing would be a little more forgivable if Apple sold the iPhones for what they are actually worth.
The phone costs them $200USD to make, the hardware is on par with 2 year old phones like the HTC One and Nexus 5 which are both around $400-500AUD, but Apple sell them starting at $999 with the 128gb model being $1249! They sell it at this price mainly due to "build quality" and "premium materials" but this has just been found to be an absolute load of shit.
They are selling the phone for twice what it's worth and they justify that with the very thing we have just debunked, the phone can bend in your pocket and you can utterly destroy it with your finger tips. That is not an extra $500 worth of build quality.
When did "build quality" become "how it feels in your hand" anyway? That has nothing to do with build quality... so what if it feels smooth, that has nothing to do with how well it's built or how premium the material is.
And on another note, when the hell did Aluminium become a premium material? I can buy a thin sheet of aluminium that has the same amount of raw material as used on 12 iPhones from my local hardware store for under $15. In less than 5 minutes of google searching I sourced thin aluminium sheeting for $1800 PER METRIC TON.
Aluminium is cheap, plastic is actually more expensive. If anything were premium here it would the polycarbonate used on Nokia devices.
Plastic is not only more expensive than aluminium but it is stronger, more robust and more appropriate for an electronic device. I don't know why fanboys keep lapping up Apple and HTC's bullshit about how premium and expensive aluminium is when it is one of the cheapest and weakest materials you can buy.
