If they found it to be prone to bends in their tests before release, then they should have accepted their mistake when customers started to complain. But what they did? Showed their arrogance. Banned the guy who showed the world how easy iPhone 6’s bend. And simply said ‘You should not put phones in Jeans pockets’ and claimed this as the exact reason of iPhone 6’s bending problems. And who forgets ‘You are not holding the phone in the right way’ during antenna gate? Apple is an arrogant company which has a huge blind fan base to milk. It took Apple one year to give credit to the bend gate. And compare this to how Samsung reacted to Note7 issue. They never said ‘you should charge the phone proper way’. They simply accepted the defect and recalled all the Note7’s. The Android flagships u mentioned are no where near Apple’s pricing.

              Apple should be sued just like they are always looking for reasons to sue other companies.

The real problems what we do not see is? We actually make it worse for us. When nokia was brought down by greedy bastards and propaganda the mass helped the most. Thousends of people remained without jobs in Germany, Hungary, actually every factory Nokia had and paid for in Europe. People betrayd them and betrayd themselves. Destroying a great company with ignorance. Now, we are also destroying our pockets with ignorance. Buying propaganda devices that cost more and more for no reason, absolutly no reason, and worse is, protecting their names even if the devices are a pile of crapp.

                          The whole approach from aPple has always been "The Emperors new clothes". So you can not get people to admit that there are anything bad going on, once they have been conned.

                          With the throttle-gate they (mis)used the facts that most people are unaware of the simple fact that most of their battery-power is used/wasted by the screen. And as you so nicely explains they are so crooked that they throttle the cpu to make the screen stand turned on for even longer, thus tearing further on a worn battery, to accelerate the planned obsolescence....

I wouldn't claim Apple is the most innovative, they just innovate less than other OEMS

Actually with the bend thingy you are right. Their are even worse then iphone6. But still, they never claimed to be the best, from materials to software to quality, as crapple always did. Missleading users on purpose into thinking. Well, it is priced that high cause is the best, while it is mediocre at tops. Anyway, as i was saying, i do not bash apple for this device. i bash apple for everything apple is. From rubbing others ideas to false claims to false advertising to false propaganda against other companies. Apple does not innovate, create or even helps with this. They brought down the fight for who innovates the most , who brings life into their devices, to a minimum fight for the money and how to make even more without doing anything but selling the same old slab with same hardware. But act like it is faster and better cause... well you will find a reason. The only ones suffering here are the users, the other oem's are pretty happy about it. They do not need to research anymore. they can just design another slab, put the newest cpu inside and sell it for 1500 dollars. Mass of ignorants will buy.
