Same guy bending an assortment of other phones. The iPhone 6 bends only a little, considerably less than the 6 Plus. Likewise a few other similarly-sized phones, except the Moto X which is unusually sturdy. An iPhone 5S wouldn't bend at all. So basically, big phones bend easier than small phones. Shocker.

the thinness is unnecessary and everyone thinks this except apple, it seems. also i imagine that the rounded edges allow things to be bent more easily than squared ones.

most pointless post ever^

I really like the thinness

Just ordered an i-pod air 16g and a Ballistic Tough Jacket Case Cover for my son's main christmas pressie, if he fucking bends it he isn't getting another. Please someone on this thread don't tell me it is shit because I am weeping at my bank balance right now.

iPad Air's are pretty tough ime

Oh good! just having an irrational panic attack!

I would explain how I know how tough iPads are, but I overstate my secret shames often enough here

Just don't put an unprotected one on the couch near a cat prone to launching around the room at high velocity

You could also try getting it insured by a third party warranty provider like Squaretrade - they'll probably have an Accidental Damage option

http://www.squaretrade.co.uk/uk-ipad

Looks like it covers accidental damage by default

oh wow look we have a thread about apple

apparently dan riccio exists: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/25/6845611/inside-apples-iphone-6-torture-building

seeing headlines about a possible event next month. i don't see what they're going to release that would pack anything near the punch of what they announced earlier this month, which makes it look like it's going to be a year with a killer wwdc and a really solid september event and then . . . a revision to the ipad and perhaps some mac mini shit? that's what i've seen. i guess the release of yosemite too, but do we really need to talk about that again at this point?

it's been a big year for the company, especially when you put it next to what's happen since steve died, and they should end it on a high note

Yosemite should never be spoken of again. It's like a bad Linux theme from 2003, with worse font rendering.

sounds good

How's it look on retina? xp

mere seconds/minutes from now my mini will be on 8.0.2

Should I chance upping to 8.0.2 while on vacation?

have spent seriously half an hour today trying to deal with the iMessage group chat fallout from two of my friends getting new phones and assorted OS upgrades. We are getting forked chats and blackholed messages, but nobody sees the same thing.

xpost i would wait a few days, probably, although i doubt they'll fuck up twice in a row

that must be the macminicolo guys praying 'cause no one else gives a fuck

oh wait that's not one screenshot

you use a mac mini?

I wanna get one

It's the most affordable and most upgradeable Mac desktop

Not touching the iMac til it goes retina

i just reached out a touched mine 4 u

AND

Did the display turn into a retina display

no the pixels are as big as the iphone 6 plus

to qualify as retina the viewing distance would be from here to florida

did 8.02 this morning, definitely noticed a few slightly glitchy things have improved, including the touchID working much better

i have a six year old mini that is now so slow it's unusable. but I do use it as an itunes and plex server.

ipad mini? idgi i thought mini's first release was like 3 years ago.

ok i just learned a mac mini exists nm.

yeah, since 2005 or something
