my last thoughts on this topic.

its not about who's wrong and who's right. manufactures should be responsible enough not to expose us the users to such unpleasant thing in the first place which involve us spending our money in good faith that what ur buying as a customer will serve u as u expect. not segregating on brands we have had very bad experiances with some of the devices we buy some are laggy, cheep in build material, uncalled for malfunctioning hardware and software and many more but still thier prices are wallet breaking. the exceptable minimum standards should be properly enforced to shield us from such unpleasant cases because all of the costs to manufacture, market and transportation of these devices ends up on us the customers so why should they be allowed to escape the costs. I hope all can understand my stand point these companies need us to stay in business but we dont need them to get the functionality we need. if u closely compare these devices wether premium or midrange they do very similar functions and that simply says if one company can't deliver what u want its very simple to switch to the next device. brands and the labeling they place on this things its just a way to hook buyers a simple marketing idea. heck I even see brands moking others while they are basically creating mirror images of the same devices ie samsung and others mockes apple and in the meantime sammy was the one producing memory modules for apple so pls mates lets not get carried away buy two faced corporations that claim to be the "best" in the public eye while thier dev teams and other functions of thier organizations share ideas and decadently sharing the spoils in royalties heck even microsoft is in on the thing as they are the ones who hold the patent of the micro sd wich equals royalties on every device sold. so I guess u get my point droids and ifans are an instigated idea on the buyers to constantly create hype so that sales never flop for them. eg sammy anounces note 4 but does not make available to buy and lets other launch just to pump up the potential buyer to fall over thier new creation when it's made available.becasue if u take a close look at sammy they can make thousands of this things in a day but they choose to wait, why? hope u get what I'm getting at.

enjoy ur posting. Ps all this trolling and bashing between u guys (droids and iFans) benefits some corporate who is not even aware of ur existance. chears guys :D

        ROFL extremely rare cases. yes generally all iphone 6's do it. and as common as hell. typical Apple lets slide it under the carpet like antennagate. because that was also extremely rare. but subject to nearly every iphone 4

I am open for any good brand with device justifies quality and performance without any hassle. My current brand costs me half of the iphone so i can say flaws may be there. what do you think that any person criticize apple is a shamesung fanboy. I think you hurt because you are a Ibend fanboy...sorry i used your language.. there is nothing wrong if u are a iphone fanboy.

            snoopy, 26 Sep 2014The clamour for a larger iphone was really large so it isn'... moreI agree. By now all phone companies will research to fix this problems. Big companies will be aware that phones have certain weak point/area and like snoopy said on apple its near in the volume because it's aluminum it bends. as for plastic like the Samsung it bends but it goes back but it break or crack because it's plastic. Almost all phones have a weak spot. I think maybe phone companies are introducing watches and maybe the watches are the future phones maybe. it's kinda funny at first but maybe like we see on sci fi movies they use watches for communication.

              I have seen samsung phones, viz Galaxy SII , Note II, etc with broken screen but no difference in functioning. Superb, suddenly you won't find that you are without a phone after a small fall. Samsung phones still continue to function even with a broken screen. The bent iphone stopped functioning. This should not have happened.

                The clamour for a larger iphone was really large so it isn't a big deal if they have finally come up with it. In fact they even went to the extent of saying exactly why a large phone isn't really required. Though being an android buff I don't have anything against iphone. If one looks at youtube enthusiasts bending iphone then let apple know that the phone is weak where the slots for two buttons are close together and easily one can see that a little extrapressure can bend the phone here. It needs to be reinforced here or the buttons should be differently placed.

                    The timeframe of both is not connecting to each other.

                    If one or two clothes change the style every season the phone companies are left behind for certain months.

If you see it outside the box. The cause is not only the imperfection of this phones like android and Apple but the way fashion is becoming in the future.



                      The cause starts on "tight Jeans." by now companies in the future will improve phones in the future.

You sounds like apple is doing charity and if there is any mistake then we should over look it or show sympathy because they are giving handsets with very less profit margin after so much research!!!!!!

                                    First:they photoshop pictures to hide the protruding camera
                                    Second:they released a defective software version
                                    Third: they have build quality issues (bending issue).
                                    I believe that if Jobs is still alive alot of apple executives and designers will be looking for another job now

                                      Bending is one of what they so call "INNOVATION"... They didn't tell that to people since they want people to be surprised of their so called "INNOVATION"... Now, see how people are surprised about this "INNOVATION"... And those brainless iFans still says "Oh man, how great iPhone is."

                                      jeeezz...how odd
