Video tests, though, do seem to indicate that a substantial degree of force is required. Photos of the iPhone 6 and, especially, 6 Plus bending whilst in pockets starting emerging a couple of days ago. In some rather Steve-like phrasing, the representative said that support chatroom comments revealed that “we’re looking into this with an insane amount of detail.” If not, the replacement would be a paid one.Īpple was not able to provide any information on what the test involves, though one commentator below suggests that it is simply comparing the phone to a set of reference photos used to distinguish phones damaged by misuse from those considered faulty. If it is within the guidelines, they will be able to cover it. There is a test called a Visual Mechanical Inspection that the device will have to pass. That is 100 percent up to the Genius you speak with at the store. Apple it's time to prune back and make something sweet again.An Apple support representative has told TNW that iPhone 6/Plus phones that have experienced warping in normal use would qualify for replacement under warranty if they pass a test known as “a visual mechanical inspection.” It should be noted that this is simply one AppleCare rep speaking, and not an official statement by Apple. Speaking of vines, if you know anything about plants you know that pruning now and then keeps the plant healthy and producing a new crop. If it were not for it's 'monopoly' iOS/iPhone products and services like Apple Music, Apple TV+ would have died on the vine. Most of what Apple launches today is highly flawed and desperate to repeat another companies lead in that market. The iPhone has become a product like the original iMac, stuck in a form factor for years on end and relying on new colors to distinguish the year's model from the last. I'm pretty sure most people reading this remember a time when Apple was thrilling to watch. The iPhone has one competitor and fortunately for Apple Samsung does not have the foothold it probably should have in the US.

This is a classic case of a corporation which has extended itself too far under the same management and the cracks are showing.

Each piece would perform and innovate the way Apple did before it became a titan.

I'm waiting for Apple to do what once the Feds should have done already and break Apple Inc up into pieces.
