Title: Apple puts iPhones through the wringer to prove #Bendgate is overblown Post by: HCK on September 27, 2014, 03:00:27 am Apple puts iPhones through the wringer to prove #Bendgate is overblown
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Only nine people complained to Apple about the iPhone 6 Plus bending in their pockets (http://www.macworld.com/article/2687866/dont-bend-it-that-way-apple-says-only-nine-customers-complained-of-bent-iphones.html), but that’s not going to stop the Internet from joking about #Bendgate. So the company is trying to manage its PR crisis by opening the doors to its super secret testing facility. Yes, Apple puts its new phones through the ol’ sit-down test.</p><p> About 15,000 iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units were tested before the devices began shipping last week. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to the more than 10 million phones Apple has sold so far, but the sample devices were run through various scenarios that they might endure day-to-day. Then they were tortured.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2687824/apple-puts-iphones-through-the-wringer-to-prove-bendgate-is-overblown.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple puts iPhones through the wringer to prove #Bendgate is overblown (http://www.macworld.com/article/2687824/apple-puts-iphones-through-the-wringer-to-prove-bendgate-is-overblown.html#tk.rss_all) |
