How serious is this iphone bending issue

Okay so after days of waiting for my Iphone 6 I finally got my delivery message today to tell me I would receive it tomorrow. Within moments of receiving the good news, my excitement was crushed by all this bending banter. Now Im not wet behind the ears and have been with Apple for maaaaaaany years, so Im used to the usual post launch "gating" ending up being nothing but nonsense. This bending issue however seems different. At first I put it down to people not handling it correctly or whatever but after seeing the huge volume of users posting within these forums, as well as many other Apple related forums, it has me a little concerned. Even those who were not reporting issues with there 6's and 6's pluses at first are now looking closer at there devices and noticing the early signs of bending. Is this an issue that is mainly a problem with the plus, due to its size or are both devices just as easy to bend? I suppose my main question really is whether this is all a media blowout taking things completely out of proportion is is this a real issue which a lot of users will experience after several months of normal daily use?

I suppose my main question really is whether this is all a media blowout taking things completely out of proportion
Does the media ever do anything other than that?
is this a real issue which a lot of users will experience after several months of normal daily use?
No one can be certain, but if "normal daily use" includes routinely putting it in your back pocket and sitting on it, then the answer is almost certainly yes.
When the iPhone starts bending all on its own lying on a table overnight, that will be news. (It's happened).

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1 
    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2 
    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3 
    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
    4  
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    5 
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    6 
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    7 
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • Update will nuetralize my AVG Safe Search--How serious is this and when will a fix be ready?

    I would like to update Firefox, but have concerns that it will not be safe to browse if the AVG Safe Search is disabled. How serious it this and do you know if a fix will be forthcoming by you or does AVG provide a fix?

    I had chatted with AVG Tech Help. They have confirmed that AVG Safe Search is still NOT compatible with Firefox 6 yet, only the AVG Toolbar is. They are working on it right now and will release the next update once it is done.
    Here's the information from AVG forum, read the last post by DrDemento:

  • How to solve this Data Configuration issue with error message ORA: 01017

    Bad public user name or password. ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    How to solve this?

    I'm using JCreator jdk1.5.0_7.But i don't know how
    to use command prompt. When i execute my program, the
    command prompt showed
    Exception in thread "main"
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: StringManipulation
    Press any key to continue...So you managed to compile your code since now you are running it. This error means that the class StringManipulation was not found. Usually an indicator that your classpath is incorrect.
    What did you do to generate this error? That is, how did you execute your program?
    [edit] if you did not compile your code then there is no class file StringManipulation.class and this error will appear.

  • Not sure how to ask this; iPhone 5 carrier unlocked but question about refurb iPhone 5

    Ok, so. Sorry if the tittle is a bit confusing, im not really sure how to even word it myself.
    The short; I had some issues with AT&T at the begining of the year so i left them and had them unlock my iPhone 5 so i could use it with T-Mobile. But now im having this issue with my iPhone 5 were the home buton is a bit unresponsive sometimes. It started as it feeling a bit loose and making a clicking sound when slightly taped. I did go to the Apple store when it first started happening and they said it wasnt a big issue, that some did this, basicaly saying "Its normal dont worry about it." I said ok and went on my way.
    Now, when i had an unresponsive home button on my old iPhone 4 with AT&T all the Apple store did was give me a refurb. Ok, no issues, pop sim out of old iPhone, put in refurb iPhone, everything works fine.
    But, my question is; if they give me a refurb iPhone 5, how would the whole process work seeing as i had my current iPhone 5 unlocked by AT&T vs. buying it unlocked from Apple and im using it on a different network other then what i bought for?
    Sorry if its all a bit confusing, like i said, im not even sure how to word some of this.

    An exchange under warranty can be a new or refurbished iPhone with no way to tell the difference. An exchange under warranty if new or refurbished is called a service unit and is provided in a plain unsealed box with the iPhone only.
    Apple should have on record that your iPhone 5 is officially unlocked since the unlocking was done by Apple with iTunes after Apple was notified by AT&T that unlocking your iPhone was authorized by AT&T.
    Make sure this information is on record by Apple before the iPhone is exchanged if Apple determines the iPhone needs to be exchanged under warranty.

  • How to fix this in cf8

    Hi i had one application in which we will generate the letters in cf5 and now we are doing the same in cf8 but i had an example program’s
    when i try to print this program’s instead of single quatation i am getting program’s.
    How  to fix this single quotation issue .
    thanks,

    That is an HTML character encoding for a closing "curly" quote that commonly comes from MS Word generated comments.
    It is usually a desireable thing that somehow your content got properly encoded.  Usually this does not happen and people are posting queries to boards like this asking what their text has a bunch of squared or question marks instead of the quote/aposrophe they expected.
    I don't know why you application is doing this.  It must be somewhere in your code.  But I can't tell.

    I updated today to the 5.0.1 and now when I try to sync to ITunes, it doesn't recognize my phone and an error message comes up saying that "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.'  What does this mean?  Never mind - I found an article in the Support about this very thing!  Thanks!

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

    Hi nicolep89,
    If you are having multiple non-specific issues with your iPhone after a recent update, your best course of action may be to back up any of your content to iTunes, restore the phone to factory settings, then test to see if the issues persist in its default config before bringing back your content from the backup.

    Same for me with Iphone 5 and IOS 7 on mac pro. Install ITunes 11.1 and after reboot nothing work. Work only with Mac Pro in safe mode.
    I have uninstalled Wi-fi-sync1.0 app from MacPro and Itunes sync well with iphone.
