Apple Uses These 5 Steps To Test iPhone 6 Durability

Oliver Haslam·September 27, 2014

We're another 24 hours into the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus's lifecycle and it seems the absurdness surrounding 'Bendgate' just isn't going to go away.

We now know, thanks to Apple's clarification that only nine new iPhones had been reported as misshapen as part of the Bendgate saga, that the whole incident was a mere storm in a teacup, but with Apple now launching both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in 20 new markets across the world, the official statement was certainly necessary. Now, more details have emerged as to exactly how Apple ensures that its devices are built for purpose, and as well as five major stress tests, a company official has noted how how some 15,000 handsets were intentionally broken at development stage to provision against such issues as highlighted with Bendgate.

Apple Manager That Oversaw iOS 6 Maps Also Responsible For iOS 8.0.1 Mess

Ben Reid·September 26, 2014

Apple's iOS 8.0.1, for those that missed it, was a marked disaster, and a major blemish in what has otherwise been a fairly smooth launch of the company's new mobile software. Having rolled out a couple of days ago, it featured major flaws that saw iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners left with No Service and a non-functioning Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and in all honesty, Apple hadn't made such a blunder since the iOS 6 Maps debacle. Back in 2012 when Maps first appeared, the scapegoating seem to begin, and end, with then-iOS SVP Scott Forstall, who was swiftly ejected from the executive team and Apple in general, but incidentally, it has now been revealed that a member of the quality control team amid the Apple Maps scandal may also have been partially responsible for the blundered iOS 8.0.1 launch.

The so-called Bendgate saga has been at the forefront of tech coverage over the past couple of days, with the Web having been taken over by what appears to be just a couple of isolated incidents of accidental bending blown out of proportion.
