thats like a jew in a concentration camp eating a 5 course meal

actually it's a lot more like replacing a 15 yr old car with a brand new one. it's similar to that because it's a thing you will use daily and because smartphone tech has come a long way in the past few years.

also quick reminder: the iphone 6/6+ bends with normal use and there's no reason to expect the 6s/6s+ will do otherwise

i saw a bad video and i guess the 6s+ takes like 80lbs of force or something to start bending while the 6+ takes 30lbs to start

your example doesn't make any sense, it might work better if he never had a phone in his life? still, equating consumer tech purchases with the holocaust is bad.

the aluminum is probably some alloy apple's own metallurgists concocted because it wasn't common enough to have a name in whatever tool was used to look at it. in any case the 7000 series in the 6s is more expensive to produce than the 6000 series in the 6

i mean yeah maybe tim got a good deal on some economy of scale thing though

here's the new fun thing it does: mms seems to confuse it about half of the time (80% of the time for pictures) so it will go into a send/receive mode that will some of the time silently prevent all calls and texts from going through. at least it has threaded texting (that i had to manually install with a rom i found linked from some long dead winmo forum)

yes, carrying it in a pocket would qualify as "normal use" and should not result in bending

funny how no other model of iphone did that prior to the iphone 6

no it was because of the poor design

folks didn't just miraculously start putting it in the wrong pocket, they put in the pocket they always did and the lovely design meant they bent with normal use
