First, I heard on the local radio that it only takes moderate pressure in the pocket to
bend the iPhone 6 out of shape, and now there's a headline that there's a problem with the new phones
crashing with the iOS 8.0.1 update.
Apple needs to get the bugs out with testing, before stuff like this hits the market.
There are loads of problems with iOS and the iPhone, but most are never told about in the media due to the medias love for Apple. But these latest ones are so bad that they cant keep them quite.. hell the usual suspects in the tech world, CNET and The Verge were some of the last to run these stories and Engadget still has not really told anything.
Off the top of my head we have the following issues with the iPhone 6 and 6+
1) Bendgate.. it is a clear manufacturing and design flaw as the "bend" happens in the same place.
2) Wifi issues as usual with iOS updates. This was an issue in BETA and BETA testers complained and pointed it out.. Apple did nothing.
3) iMessenger issues.. really flaky according to reports.
4) Battery drain issues, especially on older models... and considering battery is pathetic already this is a major problem.
5) App crashes have exploded with the update, which is someone what to be expected, but not in the amount being reported. iOS already has the worst record on app performance and stability and iOS 8 has not helped.
6) The Camera software is buggy as well..a software update will fix the issues but question is when and if that update will ever come.
7) 8.01 update bricked phones basically.
8) Requiring 6GB of space on your phone to update is beyond idiotic. Sure you can connect it to iTunes, but thanks to Apple more and more people actually dont own a PC with iTunes on it.
9) Parts of iCloud are pretty much useless for Macs until Apple updates its Mac software.. they actually updated iCloud for Windows first..
This has been a catastrophic launch by Apple and their "quality" halo has been burst surely with these phones. Sure there are plenty of defenders out there, and they are busy on the net that is for sure, but there is only so much crap you can cover over with lame excuses.
