iPhone 6 Announced !

It's been a disastrous launch, however you cut it. The bending of the 6+ is a basic design flaw, and that is damaging to future sales after the initial surge. And then there's been the iOS 8 shambles to boot.

Apple software has always been clunky and cumbersome, especially the dreadful iTunes.

But why is the bendy phone a design flaw?

Surely it must be obvious that something so thin will not be able to cope with being stuffed in the back pocket of the typical tight jeaned, fat arsed person. What do people think it is made of? 6mm thick steel plate with iPhone features painted on?

It's like claiming a Kit Kat has a design flaw because it will crack under the same treatment.

Pretty good summary of why it's a design flaw I'd say.

Not really. A phone in a pocket would most likely fall under 'normal' use. A kit kat in your back pocket is just asking for trouble.
