    Why is Bend-Gate is serious to Apple than to other Phone maker.... And wala pang comment si Apple.


    Handsets like the LG G Flex and the Samsung Galaxy Round have proved that manufacturers can make curved smartphones if they really want to, but with the iPhone 6 Plus it seems Apple is offering customers a do-it-yourself option.

    It's obvious of course that practically any smartphone will bend if you apply enough pressure - there were similar reports of Sony's Xperia Z1 warping earlier this year - but unfortunately for Apple, the prestige (and price) of their devices means any fault is taken far more seriously than those of their rivals'.

    For anyone who remembers the iPhone 4, 'bend-gate' will also be sadly familiar. The 2010 iPhone didn't bend, but it did ship with a flawed antenna that meant it dropped calls when owners held in a certain way (critics would say - in an absolutely normal way).

    Steve Jobs himself was forced to respond to the accusations (by mocking the media and claiming that there was no real problem) but Apple eventually issued free cases to to those affected. Will they do the same for the iPhone 6 Plus?

    Now you'll need a "plastic'" protective casing for your metal phone...
    "Cheap" plastic wins over "premium" aluminium / metal. Nyahahahahaha. Oh the irony of it all.

    Response to iPhone 6 Bend Gate



    A message from Jony Ive about Apple’s iPhone 6 "Bend Gate"


    At Apple, your belief in our vision means everything to us. We have noted some of your concerns as you have discovered the most important feature of the latest Apple devices, the iPhone 6 and it’s larger sibling the iPhone 6 Plus. ‘Malleability’ is a feature that we were not ready to unveil on the 9th September when we announced the new devices. We did say we wish we could say more.

    Malleability is a complex feature that provides more than just a subtle and gently sweeping screen. It’s a feature that feeds directly into the lives of the most important aspect of Apple: you the user.

    We understand that the majority of our users love the feel of fabric, taut around their legs as they comb their bristling facial hair, however this was also highlighted as a potential issue in the development stage of our new range of devices. We know that the iPhone needed to grow not only through this and many more innovative features but physically too. The device had to become larger for a more engrossing user experience. This combination of tight leg wear and a larger, more tablet like device, clearly could result in some comfort issues. This is where our team of innovators and designers led by myself set about creating the world’s first fully Malleable phone.

    No more uncomfortable cycle rides around the city to meet friends for coffee. Simply slide your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus into one of your pockets, mount your bicycle and experience this ground breaking technology gently form its soft aluminium casing around your body.

    Here at Apple we endeavour to bring these innovations to the market to not merely provide a new piece of technology, but to enhance the lives and user experience of our loyal fans.

    So before you get too concerned about a new bend that you see in your brand new iPhone, just remember, it’s nothing negative. Your iPhone has just become that little bit closer to you, it has become an extension of you and a reflection of your physical form.

    So we thank you for your continued dedication to being part of our journey at Apple, and we look forward to shaping our devices to suit your lives everyday.

    Jony

    Apple Pulled The iOS Update That's Screwing Up People's Phones
    SAM COLT AND STEVE KOVACH

    Apple has pulled an iOS update after users complained about their iPhones losing cell connectivity.

    The update appeared to affect iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users the most, apparently by disabling the cellular connection. Users couldn't make calls or transfer data. Their phones got "bricked."

    The update also disabled Touch ID, leaving users unable to use their fingerprint sensor.

    Apple pulled the update about an hour after releasing it.

    “We have received reports of an issue with the iOS 8.0.1 update. We are actively investigating these reports and will provide information as quickly as we can. In the meantime we have pulled back the iOS 8.0.1 update," said an Apple spokesperson.

    The iOS update was supposed to fix a number of bugs in iOS 8.

    Users had reported issues issues with third-party keyboards, as well as glitching in iMessage and lagging notifications.

    Here's our report on the iOS 8 update this morning:

    Apple released a new update to iOS 8 today that was supposed to fix a lot of bugs with the OS.

    But a lot of folks are complaining on Twitter and elsewhere that it screwed up their phones. Apple pulled the update within about an hour of its release. In a statement to Business Insider, Apple said it was investigating the issue:

    We have received reports of an issue with the iOS 8.0.1 update. We are actively investigating these reports and will provide information as quickly as we can. In the meantime we have pulled back the iOS 8.0.1 update.

    The update appears to disable the cellular connection, meaning people who installed the update can't make calls or use wireless data. It also appears to disable Touch ID, the fingerprint sensor. Several people in our newsroom updated their devices and experienced these problems too.

    It's unclear if the new update affected all iPhone models or just the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. However, the consensus on Twitter seems to be that only the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were affected.

    Apple's stock was down about 1.5% Wednesday afternoon.

    iOS 8 launched last week, but users complained about several bugs. For example, some people were having problems getting the keyboard to load in certain apps. Apple's Healthkit platform, which lets you share health data stored on your phone with other apps and even medical professionals, was disabled. Wednesday's update was supposed to fix all that and more.

    Apple is supposed to test new versions of iOS before pushing the update to users. This seems like a huge oversight on Apple's part. If you downloaded the update before Apple pulled it, you'll probably have to wait for yet another iOS release before everything works again.
