Ondrej Holzman According to Apple, it is for the bent iPhone 6 Plus only nine customers complained, but still the company's management decided to let the public into an otherwise secret and guarded room to convince that it carefully tests the durability and durability of its products. Journalists were able to see the laboratory where Apple engineers literally torture the new iPhones.
Not to be affairs given that the new 5,5-inch iPhone 6 Plus can bend when carried in a pocket, Apple almost certainly wouldn't let journalists into the low-profile building near its Cupertino headquarters at all. Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller and Hardware Engineering Dan Riccio also assisted with the tour of the test lines.
"We designed the products to be incredibly reliable during any day-to-day use," said Schiller. Apple tests the durability of its iPhones and other upcoming products in different ways: they drop them on the ground, exert pressure on them, twist them.
Although the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are very thin and made of specially treated aluminum, which is quite fragile in itself, steel and titanium reinforcements, as well as glass, help the phones in their durability Gorilla Glass 3. According to Apple, the latest iPhones have passed hundreds of tests and at the same time thousands of company employees have tested them in their pockets. "The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are the most tested products," claims Riccio. Apple reportedly tested around 15 units before release, saying it had to figure out ways to break the new iPhones before customers did.
There's been a lot of buzz online about bent iPhones 6 Plus, but the question is whether the problem is really that big. According to Apple, only nine users reported directly to it with bent phones, and most of the people uploading videos to YouTube of themselves bending their iPhone live were usually exerting more force on the device than the device would experience in normal use.
"You have to realize that if you apply enough force to bend an iPhone, or any other phone, it will deform," says Riccio. During normal operation, deformation of the iPhone 6 should not occur, which, after all, Apple stated in its official statement.
In the attached photos taken by the magazine The Verge inside Apple's special laboratory you can see different forms of tests including twisting, bending and pressure tests. Apple said this is just one of the locations where it conducts similar tests. On a much larger scale, similar durability tests are underway in China, where iPhones are also manufactured.
And sensation-seeking journalists have something to write about again, and idiots from YouTube dispose of hundreds of phones just for viewership…. It makes me sick !
ad k*eténi .. well, with a little luck, they will run out of money soon and it will be quiet :-D
Even so, it will hurt some. I'm referring to the ones that didn't get caught in the first wave and they're watching people beat people to the ground with an iP 6, etc. At the same time, the phone could have been theirs.
not hundreds but bend iphone search will find different versions of the same video. he description alone is enough to increase their viewership .. it's sad but that's what today is about ..
if you're interested in more, you'll find that they get around $1 per 1000 million views. If such a video has 2m views in 12 days, it's a good business
I'm aware that they make outrageous money from it, but it's still the height of wastefulness for me! Those machines could be used 1000 times better!
Do they also have special test pants? :)
Perhaps a simulation of normal daily wear would be more useful than test machines.
Well, phew. 2 spelling mistakes! But it's pretty much everywhere today. Anyone can play "editors".
When I buy a new car, I'll drive it into the wall on the first day and see if the airbags are working and how the deformation zones are doing. And of course it's on YouTube :-)
The "BandGate" pseudo-case is just an artificially created case, precisely for the sake of viewership. People who envy Apple's success, and there are many of them, don't think very logically and mainly want to smear the iPhone in some way so that they can increase their ego and look at their Android displays with their heads held high. However, as far as bending is concerned, everyone who has held a Samsung GS5 and similar phones with a height of more than 13 cm is not that difficult to bend or break such a phone and it doesn't matter what brand it is... but everyone laughs at Apple because it's supposed to be probably the very best in everything.
Fact? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwM4ypi3at0
(they were separated by the fact that, while the Samsung returns to its original position after bending and no permanent deformation sets in, the iPhone, thanks to aluminum, remains permanently deformed)
So he showed that even the Samsung was slightly twisted. I admit that less than the iPhone, but it was. It's also about the fact that the Note 3 is 1,2 mm thicker than the iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone has shaved, so far, 9 people. From the total number of units sold, it could have been a material error. (I also don't know who buys a phone for €800, but that's everyone's business.) After bending, the iPhone was capable of full operation, just like the Samsung, and nothing happened to it apart from the bending. I agree with what Pavel wrote very wisely and so to speak stole it from my tongue. With a phone design like this, it would happen to any brand. Or Samsung, or HTC, or any other. It's an artificially inflated case, exactly.
Those who have the phone and want it, have it and are silent.. Those who don't have it and want it, are complaining, and those who don't want it and have it, are silent. Hating Apple would be enough. If you want to have plastic toy telephones that you exchange for a new one after a year because you can no longer use them, then please, we don't care about that.
I advise you not to buy it.
....after the action of a weight of 45 kg. I am also waiting for a new iPhone, but given that I often use my current 5S on construction sites as a mat under various beams, or regularly sit on it, stand on it, bend it against the edge of a table, not to mention that I routinely bend it in my pocket with a force of 45Kg, I will buy 6 plus I'll think about it. I would also have to forgive myself for my usual pastime of picking up the phone just for fun and trying to bend it with all my might, I would really miss that. Maybe just for my wife, she weighs 49Kg with shoes on, so I don't expect her fragile body to be able to develop such strength.
The numbers speak for themselves, they sold 10 million devices in the first days and 9 users immediately bent it. Like sorry! That wouldn't happen with Mr. Hulan's Lumia!
The Apple guys just made a terrible mistake here.
:) thumb up
Apple did not allow journalists anywhere. He makes such videos for himself and it depends on them when they publish them. Now they published them precisely because of the problem with the iPhone 6 Plus. Similarly, Apple also released videos for the iPhone 4 and 5 (just google it). I guess.
