Is iPhone 6 bending easily ?

I've now learned that Consumer Reports says that it takes 70lbs of pressure to bend an iPhone 6 in the middle compared to 130lbs for the iPhone 5. That tells me the iPhone 6 is almost 50% weaker than the iPhone 5.
It takes nothing less than an artillery shell to penetrate Superman's skin. Another superhero (we'll call him 'Bob') can't withstand an artillery shell, but even .50 caliber bullets bounce off his skin. So, yeah, Bob isn't as tough as Superman. But that doesn't mean Bob is a weakling.
The fact that a previous device has greater durability than a current device is irrelevant. What is relevant is if the stress tolerances are sufficient for day-to-day use. 70 lbs of pressure means you have to apply significant pressure to cause damage.
Go to a gym, and find a 70 lb weight. Pick it up in one hand. The amount of force you have to use just to pick it up is the same amount of force you'd have to exert on the iPhone to bend it. It's not an everyday occurrence. It happens through accident or neglect. You may not think you had an accident or caused neglect... but you did. Unintentionally, of course, but your iPhone did not just 'bend all on it's own'. That violates the laws of physics. There had to be some external (or, possible, but rare, internal) force applied.

The battery of my iPhone 5 easily discharges even if not in use. This started 11 months after purchase. The unit passed the Apple Battery Health Test Protocol but the performance showed otherwise. What is the problem and how do I solve it?

The battery of my iPhone 5 easily discharges even when not in use. The unit was tested by Apple and passed the Battery Health Test although the performance showed otherwise. The battery deterioration started 11 months after purchase and is not covered by Apple warranty. What is the problem of the iPhone5 and would appreciate suggestions on how to address this problem. By the way, I have a 2 year old iphone 4S with a battery performance as good as when it was bought two years ago.

Why does the new iPhone bend?

The newest hidden feature in the iPhone 6 is that you can bend it. All jokes a side, whats wrong with that. I thought Apple had metallurgists working to make a stronger metal. Whats gonna happen to the people that have had this happen to them. Is Apple gonna provide a new phone for them on warranty or something?
If any one has any information about this post it here .

Where did you see or find that the new iPhone bends under NORMAL use? A YouTube video? Which would you rather believe? A YouTube video that has been largely debunked or a tour through Apple's very secret test facilities that actually shows the rigorous testing procedures? I guess that would depend on whether you are a troll or nor. Somehow I don't think we will be hearing back from you.

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).

Is it possible to change your iPhone IMEI easily?

http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=657
As I understand it´s possible to change on older as iPhone3 and iPhone3G, but still no one has succeeded to accomplish this om iPhone4...am i right?
I work att a large phonecompany and are interested how it works in thoses cases we block IMEI.
/ Anki

Hey Dave, you have understood me right. Thank you
My purpose is not for personal gain to change IMEI. We operators feel that the iPhone is very attractive for fraudsters to get quick money and it encourages fraud. The only way to make it unattractive to purchase the iPhone via private web sales and advertisements of all kinds is to block the IMEI. It is difficult to obtain information on the web whether it is possible to modify an iPhone's IMEI. As I understand it in the link I attached earlier it seemed easy to accomplish this change. My colleague said that apparently a change of IMEI has succeeded on the iPhone 3G and 3G, but not yet on the 4G.
I'm not interested in how to do it but just the possibility whether it is possible or not?
It's just that it feels pointless to block the IMEI if it still can be changed so easily.
Hope I was clearer now and that someone has an answer on my reflection.

Is the iPhone 5c easily broken?

I'll be getting the green iPhone 5c soon, and i would just like to know do i have to be extra careful just incase the phone is extremely fragile? i dont want to break it the second i get it (im not that much of a cluts) also are the cases flexible-like rubber-? or are the the hard plastic??

When it is released, it will have iOS 7.
The iPhone 5 will be able to be upgraded to iOS 7.

My iphone 4S is not able to connect to my home wifi network although it easily connects to others. Infact, i have tried connecting another iphone with my home network without any difficulty. So its just my new iphone 4S that is not connecting.

My iphone 4S is not able to connect to my home wifi network (BSNL). It does detect it and even tries to connect to it but in vain. However, it connects to all other available networks easily. Another interesting thing is that all other devices including an iphone 4 easily connects to this home network. So what is the problem with iphone 4S???

There are two ends to a wireless network. Try rebooting your router. Just pull the power for a few seconds and replug. No settings are lost.
(The fact that all your other devices connect to the internet is irrelevant)

Is iPhone 6 bent problem serious?

I have an iPhone 4 since 2011 and decided to upgrade to iPhone 6, but i've heard (on the internet) new iPhones will bend easily. Is this true? I don't put my phone on the back pocket.
Thanks.

Think what you want. As I mentioned, I was skeptical too. And I'd heard that it was only a problem on the 6 Plus. The bulk of the media attention occurred before I was able to pick up my backordered iPhone6 and I still decided to get it. I haven't watched any youtube videos related to iPhones bending. I'm not interested in watching anyone purposefully cause damage "for fun." Certainly I agree that some amount of force must have been involved in my phone warping. Whatever force I exerted during the course of use couldn't have been much though and there was no obvious event that caused damage. I should also mention that it wasn't bent in 2. The glass wasn't damaged at all and the phone was fully functional, but after 2 weeks it was slightly curved near the lower volume button. Any amount of bending on an electronic device is alarming to me. When the Apple tech removed my sim card, the sim card tray was also bent, which surprised me and the tech. The pressure tests done in the middle or one end or the other of the phone may pass with flying colors. But it seems possible that there is a lack of reinforcement around the cutouts in the frame where the buttons are, allowing some flex in that area. Or maybe I just got a bad one. Either way, I'm handling the new one like fragile crystal until I get it into a heavy duty case... and I kind of miss my old iPhone.

How can I control a keynote presentation on my iPhone from my iPad?

I have Keynote installed on both my iPhone and iPad. I would like to be able to remotely control a presentation using my iPad. I would like the iPhone to display the slideshow while I remotely control the show using my iPad. I currently can control the show in the opposite way-my iPhone can easily find and control the slideshow displaying on the iPad. I really want to display the show on the iPhone while using the larger screen of the iPad to control the show while I read the presenter's notes. I only seem to be able to display on the iPad and use the iPhone as a remote control. (I know that this is probably the preferred user method.) The iPad will not even detect the iPhone when looking for devices. Both are on the same WiFi network and have bluetooth turned on. Does anyone know why the control only works in one direction or how to reverse control?

If I am understanding your question correctly what you are wanting to achieve is not possible. You can't run the same keynote presentation on both devices at the same time. Also, why would you want to use the small screen size of the iPhone as your display instead of the iPad? If it is just to see your presenter notes then print them out and use the iPhone as your remote.
Perhaps more info is needed so i fully understand your issue.

IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio not working with stock Toyota radio

I have a 2010 Toyota 4Runner Limited which has the premimum JBL radio in it. Up until recently, I have had an iPhone 4 which worked well with both hands free phone features, along with Bluetooth Audio so I can stream my music from iTunes or Amazon Cloud Players. I dont use the feature all the time, so I am not sure when it stopped working (after upgrading to IOS6 or upgrading to an iPhone 5) but bluetooth audio no longer works. I can still use the bluetooth phone features, but if I go to the bluetooth music tab on my stereo, it states that the portable player is not connected. Siri also works fine through bluetooth, as it it can read my text messages, ask and answer questions through the car stereo, though I cannot make an outgoing call with Siri because after it shuts off siri and starts to dial, my stereo disconnects.
I know Apple updated the bluetooth, but you would think the new version would be backwards compatible, right? Is there a plan from Apple to fix this, because I am sure Toyota isnt going to update the firmware on their stereos just to fix an issue with one phone...

Actually, as an update, mine is now working (the BlueTooth Audio part, Siri still cannot place calls).
I have done this on my first (now smashed) iPhone 5 and my new iPhone 5. It takes a lot of trial and error, but you can get it to work.
First thing is with the iPhone 4, all I had to do was connect the phone in the phone connect screen and it just worked for both. Not so with the 5. With the 5, I have to register it both in the Audo Settings> Bluetooth Audio Settings menus as well as the phone settings on the radio. I didnt know there were two different connections with two different pins. (0000 and 1212). I forget which one you have to connect first, but again, I tried it so many times both installs and it eventually worked. It may be easier to change the name of either the Phone or Bluetooh Audio name from Car Multimedia, so the iPhone can easily connect to one or the other, but I left them both with the same name. I can now play music, and when the phone rings, automatically swaps over to that one.
Play with it and you will get it to work. If I have time, i will remove it and do it again and write down the steps.

How do I purchase a IPhone at full price from the Apple Store.

I have been a Verizon customer for over 10 years, and I currently have the unlimited data plan. I was informed that if I upgrade my IPhone I would be required to switch to another Data plan (because the unlimited data plan is no longer offered). I was also informed that if I am willing to pay full price for a new phone, then Verizon will allow me to keep my current plan.
If I am going to pay full price for a new phone, I would like to purchase it directly through the Apple Store instead of through Verizon. Unfortunately, according to Apple, the only phones that I can purchase for full price are unlocked phones and these phones do not work with Verizon plans.
Has anyone been successful with purchasing a I-Phone from the Apple store at full price and using Verizon as their service provider?

Hello and happy Sunday LADYTLC,

IPhone/Mac Mail Exchange parity

Hello,
I am using Exchange on my iPhone and can link up to my server without issue. However, I cannot set up my Exchange server email within Mac Mail using the same credentials. Can anyone assist me in setting up a new exchange account in Mail using my iPhone as a template?
Thanks!
Damon

Phone exhange clients are different from mail program exchange clients. My iphone connects easily to my Exchange 2007 at work. Entourage does easily, but the account settings require more info. Try manual configuration. Ironically, for the same server, Outlook 2007 needs a vpn to connect.

Troubles with AirPlay from iPhones to AppleTV

It feels like our AppleTV works worse and worse with every software update. It worked flawlessly when we first bought it: our iPhones would easily connect to the AppleTV and stream music.
Now, many software updates later, it takes numerous attempts just to wake up the AppleTV and start streaming music from an iPhone. I typically have to start playing music on my iPhone first, then select AppleTV, then wait a few minutes and repeat the process several times until it works.
Things have become even worse after one of the last updates: AppleTV still appears as an available device from an iPhone, but selecting it and starting playing music does not wake the AppleTV up. I either have to wake it up manually using the remote or keep it always on.
Also, after one of the latest updates, AppleTV stopped supporting gapless playback when music is steamed from an iPhone. It happens only if I steam from an iPhone to the AppleTV: If I used headphones, bluetooth devices, or stream from a Macbook Pro, then it's normal gapless playback.
I tried resetting the AppleTV numerous times with no improvements.
I'm quite sure that the problem is not with my iPhone: the same thing happens with all our iPhones (we have several in the house). Also, I have recently upgraded from an iPhone 5 to iPhone 6, and it's the same story with the new device.
I'm believe that there are no problems with our wi-fi network: AirPlay works absolutely fine from the Macbook Pro every time.
Can anything be done?

Just a quick update: I went to the Apple store today and my AppleTV was quickly replaced with a new one, even though my unit was over 2 years old. I checked the new unit at home an everything works flawlessly so far.
If you are experiencing wi-fi issues with your AppleTV similar to mine, check if your unit falls under the 2013 replacement program, before any troubleshooting. I've seen quite a few posts on different forums from people describing similar issues who are unaware of the replacement program. Somehow it went under the radar.
I came across the replacement program only after searching the web for AppleTV's randomly turning off (another issue that became very common in the last few weeks before the replacement).

IPhone 5 won't connect to new computer

I recently bought a MacBook Air, thinking that it would connect to my existing iPhone 5 easily, but when i connect it to iTunes, only the songs I have purchased (not downloaded) come up. Also, it says if I want to sync the phone with the computer, it will delete all of the current apps and contacts on my phone. I never had trouble with my PC, so anyone know how to fix this?

Move your iTunes library from your previous computer to your current computer, then all your stuff will be there.

Going from Iphone to Android

What are people's experiances? Been having trouble with AT&T service but like the Iphone 3G, but have been thinking of switching for a while. Service is not terrible but I do drop calls now and then. Thinking of going to the Incredible or X, or waiting till the end of the year for the new HTC. If my car did not synch with the Iphone music easily and my home stereo have an Iphone docking port I would have swithed already. Anyone already switch and what are your experiances?

From what I uderstand.. It's mainly a learning curve. A friend dropped calls often, but we live in Ohio, so I always figured it wasn't as AT&T friendly as Verizon was (Which seems to be the major service provider here). When he first got his DINC, he was like "UGH" "ERR" "Wha the #$^*" for a little while until he figured out his phone's perks and how a few apps make the huge difference. He loves it now.. He sometimes just stares at his wallpaper (I think his has stars shooting and twinkling in the background) and everytime I look, he seems to be doing SOMETHING on it.. he has had his iPhone since launch I believe and he is obsessed with playing on a smartphone, again.. Haha. Personally I only ever had the Incredible and I will NEVER EVER EVERRRRR complain about its features. To a few (if not many) review websites..they give incredible a tenth of a point more than the current iPhone.. overlooking the whole "holding the phone wrong" deal. That's a big deal, in my opinion, but again, I say it is preference.
Overall, I would have to tell you to go in to a Verizon store (non-"premium" crap store) and play with a few phones. That's what I did when I was looking around at the iPhone at Apple's store and at Verizon's. (I was actually going to switch over to AT&T... I can only imagine my hassle right now since I'd probably be in a "dead zone" knowing my luck) I personally played with MotoDroid, It's ok.... Had a built in keyboard which Idc about, honestly. Had nice features, screen, dah-dah.. Went over to the Incredible? I loooooooved the UI, the touch keyboard was pretty flawless, no problems for me, there. great camera, etc.. Went home and ordered. Then the iPhone 4 came out.. I actually looked at that but after online complaints and being used to the DINC's only realy "flaw" being no front camera (Idk when I'd use that...I doubt I'll find many in Ohio that honestly HAVE that phone.. lol I have yet to notice someone but my friend have the DINC. let alone a NEW iphone) I might go and play with the X today,but I doubt I'll switch I just want to take a peek ..I didn't like moto's interface and my DINC is a big screen already, almost pushing it.. I love compact phones with tons of features.
I hope that helps.
