With OS X Yosemite, Apple introduced a slew of new features that were aimed at "making the world's best operating system even better" (Apple's claim, not mine). While there were obviously new features, like Handoff which I find immensely useful, or MailDrop, which has turned out to be pretty much a life saver for me. Still, a lot of improvements in Yosemite were around minor things; stuff that you didn't even realize you needed before it was there. One such feature was the Dark Mode for Yosemite.

Around this time last month, the tech. world was abuzz with reports that the iPhone 6 Plus was susceptible to accidental bending when placed in a pocket. Naturally, a furore ensued, with Apple fanboys and haters alike taking it in turns to exchange e-blows, but after a week or two of tit-for-tat, the whole "saga" died down. Still, with the original viral video having garnered a considerable number of views on YouTube, it's no surprise that we've since been treated to several other bend tests relating to a number of other handsets, and with Apple's iPad Air 2 having just been announced, it was only fitting that the new and improved slab was given the same treatment.
The Bendgate saga, which, in hindsight, consisted of a number of small incidents that escalated out of proportion, certainly blemished the first couple of weeks of Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launch. But while that particular episode appears to have blown over, another more serious issue seems to be cropping up. It pertains to the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus, with many units crashing continuously, often leaving users in an infinite reboot loop, and while Apple has been replacing a number of afflicted handsets, some owners are already on their fourth unit.
