Bend? or just bending the truth?

As everyone is probably more then aware, in recent times, iPhone releases have come hand in hand with some type of controversy, the iPhone 4, had antennagate, the iPhone 5 was coming out of the box with dings and scratches (scratchgate), and now the iPhone 6 seems to suffer from bendgate.

The first two issues were verified and dealt with accordingly by Apple, but at the moment it is too soon to suggest that bendgate is a real issue that Apple will need to target head on. From the videos flooding the internet, one thing which is clear is that the forces that are being applied to iPhones to get them to show any signs of bending would be impossible to replicate if the phones were being used for their intended purposes. Although some users have suggested that such bending has occurred while their phones have been in their pockets, looking objectively at how and where the devices are giving way and how reviewers have replicated such bending on their videos, what becomes questionable is the ability for such forces to be applied while an iPhone is contained within a pocket.

All materials have weak points, I am pretty sure I could also bend an iPhone 5, a samsung galaxy, or a HTC one, if I really tried. Bearing this in mind one should look pragmatically at the claims that the iPhone 6 is bendy, especially when the persons facial expression from trying to bend an iPhone seems to replicate a person desperately trying to induce bowl movements while having a severe case of constipation...    

Iphone 4... from Rags to Riches

Even with all the commotion, the iPhone 4 seems to be becoming the most profitable gadget to be blessed with an Apple logo. A simple sorry from Mr Jobs has calmed the whole industry and as time goes on, it seems as if more and more people are becoming iPhone sheep, with 1.5 million sales estimated on launch day itself, its easy to understand how Apples profits can see rises for a forth quarter in succession. The good news is that there seems to be some kind of knock on effect, with Vodaphone reporting that service revenue's had risen on iPhone demand. What this really tells us is that Apple is finding its way into out hands by giving us everything we desire allowing for the love affair to continue on. I'll go out on a limb and say that most people who own an iPhone probably will not go out and spend close to $2000 for a Macbook Pro but as long as it remains fashionable to own an iPhone they will pay $100 each month to make and receive calls on the worlds most sort after phone. So that then leads us to question, for how much longer can Apple keep charging extortionate amounts of money? All we can say is for the near future there will be no let in Apples profits as long as it keeps doing that which it is.
