Apple Byte - iPhone 6 "BendGate". You're sitting on it wrong.

2014-09-25
what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple and I know there were some of you out there that got all mad after I put the hammer down on Apple last week but if last week was their worst week ever this week is their worse diss worst week ever yeah no see it actually does so let's just start off with iOS 8 and did any of you run the iOS 8.1 Update you know the one that was supposed to fix a bug so that healthkit apps would be made available on the App Store and also improved the reach ability feature for the iPhone 6 and 6-plus well it also disabled cellular service and killed touch ID functionality for many people early upgraders and it seemed to affected the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus users do I even have to say it you already know that's a bad apple oh and we're only on our first story so Apple then pulled the update and people stuck with a screwed over iPhone are recommended to restore it with this tutorial that you can check out here on the scene at link infact Apple even promoted the release of iOS 8.0 point 1 with their new ad campaign iOS 8 the next brick thing and no that's not real all right now that's just what recently happened but we're not done yet with every phone release the youtubes are flooded with every torture test known to man just to show how durable these phones really are we've seen them drop scratched with a knife dunked in water and Hammer because we have no idea what's going to happen if you drop a hammer on the screen of an iPhone oh and look it shatters but then here comes bendgate early complaints from customers claim that their iPhone 6 plus was actually bending in their pants with photos to back it up and everyone's like no way that can't be but unbox therapy put it to the test and physically Bend an iPhone 6 with their bare hands now that dude either is The Incredible Hulk or he bent it with his bare hands and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have green skin now that's another bad apple so the iPhone six-plus bends and I'm not trying to minimize this but then it brought out a history of other phones that have also bent and how many people has this really happened to a handful out of the record 10 million sold over the weekend sure but do you feel good knowing you can bend your iPhone with your bare hands no you don't in fact in a genius move Apple immediately address the issue with another ad campaign the iPhone six-plus you're sitting on it wrong now Apple hasn't addressed the issue yet and this isn't something that's going to get fixed overnight but I told you the sixth plus was not made to fit in skinny jeans so for every hipster fashionista and Twiggy legged individual thank you skinny jeans for helping us make the decision to buy an iPhone 6 because that 6 plus is huge and now you know why I called this the worst diss worst week ever for Apple oh and also hitting the theaters this week starring Tim Cook and Johnny I've bend it like iPhone 6 now there are actually some good stories this week here's a couple of really good things about the iPhone 6 and 6 plus the new iPhone cameras ranked first together in the respected DxO mark mobile test that's considered the definitive ranking with an overall score of 82 surpassing the Samsung Galaxy s5 and the sony xperia z3 and every other competitor the iPhone 6 and 6-plus cameras set the gold standard for smartphone image quality according to them with faster focusing very good and generally reliable auto exposure and fast and accurate autofocus even website snap snap snap did a cool feature where they took the same picture with every generation iPhone that's worth checking out to see how it's evolved and really improved over time so good news the iPhone is back on top again for smartphone photography all right now it may not be advertised but the new iPhones also support fast charging and are equipped with the hardware to support two point one a charging but ship with a slower power adapter we know it we might as well just throw out another bad Apple while we're at it okay I'm actually getting tired of doing that now there are a variety of options out there but the easy bet is just getting apples 12 watt power adapter for 20 bucks or if you have an iPad already you'll have one of these you can also use that 20 bucks better with other options like Belkin surge + dual 2.18 travel charger or a variety of other car chargers that support fast charging as well all right no one knows for sure when the Apple watch is coming but a report from the information says Apple would be lucky to ship it by valentine's day the report also makes a point that Apple is really trying to get the Apple watch out by the end of 2014 but they missed their target now a Valentine's Day would be horrible Apple don't do this even if you can you're really asking guys to choose between getting flowers chocolates or taking out their significant other to a nice dinner versus waiting in line overnight for an Apple watch and nothing says I love me like getting an Apple watch for myself alright let's announce the winners for our detail for MacBooks com giveaway where
