Apple: Bending in iPhone 6 Plus From Normal Use 'Extremely Rare', Only 9 Customers Have Comp


Recommended Posts

Enough for them to settle a class action suit and manufacture a bumper for the problem. 

pretty sure the bumper existed before...

 

As for the class action suit:

 

"$15 of cash or a bumper, so we believe that type of choice is proportional to the circumstances."

 

Probably is.

9 of > 10 million sold in six days.

 

how many of those 10 millions are 6+'s.  even then Apple's support isn't that coordinated that they would have such numbers yet. 

That works out to be a 0.00009% failure rate for "bent" phones.

 

no it doesn't, since this was specifically about 6+

Funnily enough, I was using a 6+ in the Apple Store today, and I swear it looked bent, at least from the left side. But when I put it face-down on the table, it didn't appear to be so. Maybe it was just my eyes. 

 

But since it's anchored to the Lightning dock, if it really was bent, it means someone had to have intentionally done so.

    • In addition to the "sidebar app list" and "Collections" features, Microsoft will also deprecate the "Drop" feature. Before you publish this news and credit another site, here is the original source: https://x.com/i/status/2067838711870439583 .
    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
