Does iPhone 6 Plus Bend? T-Mobile CEO Knows the Truth

The GeekWire Summit was the place where you could have heard about iPhone 6 Plus bending. Well, some users complained about this issue before this event. It looks like the question “does iPhone 6 Plus bend” will become popular and we can answer it right now.

As John Legere from T-Mobile mentioned the new smartphone “doesn’t bend” so keep this in mind when you purchase the new Apple handsets. Of course, if you put your handset into your back pocket and sit on it, it might just break. There is a video of a guy who proves that T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus bends but after Legere sat on the device it never bended.

This bendgate disagreement that comes from T-Mobile CEO states that the seventh-generation Apple handset with a 5.5-inch screen is “an amazing supercomputer” for customers.

The bending problem, according to Apple, was faced by nine people. This is not a big amount of customers if taking into attention over ten millions of the new 6 and 6 Plus models being sold in the first weekend after its official release.

The unbelievably high demand for the seventh gen iOS smartphones proves that the bending problem is not such an issue for most users. According to Legere, consumers complain that it is hard to get the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

You can watch the video and hear Legere’s on your own:

Unlimited Verizon 4G LTE Data Plans without Network Optimization

Verizon 4G LTE data plans that looked attractive to subscribers with access to unlimited data under Big Red’s umbrella become even more attractive now. The company started to talk about iPhone 6 Verizon network optimization and promised such “improvements” to its current unlimited 4G LTE customers who used too much data each month. The good news is here. Verizon will not throttle 4G LTE subscribers this fall.

Verizon Big Red plans won’t come true as the carrier decided not to roll out optimizations. According to the official statement, the mobile operator “greatly valued” the idea to offer network optimizations for users who are using unlimited 4G LTE data packages and would not roll it out.

Verizon 4g lte data plans

Verizon network optimization talks bothered users who used much data. Even the FCC questioned the company about such plans. At that moment, the American carrier responded that “all carriers do it” and now it changed its mind.

American companies are now fighting for their subscribers and new customers and with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus being widely popular in the U.S. it might be better for Verizon not to optimize its network throttling some users. What do you think about this? Are you happy now as the carrier won’t do anything to customers who overuse its data on unlimited 4G LTE?

Plus and iPhone 6 by the end of 2014.

Now, let’s compare iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models. Which one do you like more?

iPhone 6 Specs

This version comes with 4.7-inch screen. It is smaller than the Plus model. Still even though its display is not as big as the one of the iPhone 6 Plus, the new iPhone 6 is still one of the largest smartphones created by Apple to date.

Its hardware is the same as in the big “brother” and its internals are also the same. The screen comes with 1334 x 750 pixels resolution. In other words, this model gets 326 pixel per inch figure.

iphone-6-pics-3
Apple calls its “6” screens Retina HD displays and the company assures that the new gadgets get the improved screens.

This 4.7-inch model is promised to get 10 days or 250 hours of battery life. This is pretty nice even though the second version features even more. Users who really rely on their battery might like to get any of the upcoming gadgets as they both get enhanced specifications compared to earlier iPhones.

iPhone 6 Plus Price

This smartphone is more expensive than the ordinary 6 model. It features Retina HD screen that gets full sRGB color standard, better brightness, enhanced white balance and a lot of other nice extras. This screen should look much better under the bright sunlight and has great viewing angles.

Apple has added better polarizer to its Plus product making it clearer when you wear sunglasses and want to look at the display or check something on the screen.

iphone-6-res

The 5.5-inch display is a good size. This is the biggest iPhone ever created. It features 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution with 401 pixel per inch figure.

The bigger display requires tweaked software so keep this in mind before you make your purchase. Apple tweaks its iOS for bigger iPads so expect something similar, including more information in apps when you get into the landscape mode etc.

Is there a difference which iPhone to get? Well, the iPhone 6 Plus specs aslo include 16 days or 384 hours of battery life which is way more than the iPhone 6 battery can give you. But will you pay $100 for 6 extra days of battery life or not?

What Should We Expect from iPhone 6 Event September

The iPhone 5s was introduced last year in October, and since that time all people that somehow connected with Apple company have been waiting for something new. The iPhone 6 is a new generation cell phone. The two much wanted: features a larger screen and considerably longer battery life we all expect to see in this Smartphone.  

 And now everyone is waiting for iPhone 6 September 9th event. Because we will see the result of the Apple company work that has been lasting for few year. The iPhone 6 event September could be the biggest Apple has had since the  introduction of the original iPhone in 2007.

Shortly about the iPhone 6 event September

Though it was many unclear suggestions about this iPhone 6 and its details. Now one exactly knew what the Fruit Company will show as on September 9th event. Also the next phone might not even be called “iPhone 6,” leaving us to guess at names such as iPhone, iPhone L, iPhone Air, and iPhone Pro. But various publications started receiving invites for a September 9th. This introduction this going to be held at the Flint Center for the Performing Arts in Cupertino at 10:00 am.
 
Design

As for the design of iPhone 6 will have chamfered edges sloping into the backplate and a camera lens that slightly protrudes from the main body of the device. This features it will borrow from the 5th generation iPhone. Rumors suggest that the device’s TrueTone flash will be round, which will bettter match the circular iSight camera lens. No new backplate colors. As with the iPhone 5s we’re likely to see the same gold, silver, and space gray bodies.

design
The new design will likely make adjusting the phone’s position in hand much easier with naturally being thinner than its predecessor. And will also be more rounded on the edges, feeling less sharp and square.  The edges of the display also seem to curve into the bezel of the phone. It will make a gently oval edge around the entire device.

The volume buttons will be recessed into the side of the iPhone 6 and the power button will be relocated to the side of the device.

Two Sizes

After the Apple company got much criticism over the small, 3.5-inch and 4-inch screen sizes of its phones, it is now set to produce two considerably large devices: to have 4.7- and 5.5-inch displays. The bigger one will be shown some month later this year.

two sizes
One more significant characteristic of two differently sized Smartphone is that the larger 5.5-inch device will have a considerably larger internal storage space for hardware components. This could have an explication that Apple has some exclusive features reserved for the larger Phone 6, including Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). And a hardware component for the camera that reduces motion blur in photos and videos.

Display

The iPhone 6’s screen is reported to be made of the extremely hard gemstone in with other components, resulting in a nearly indestructible front display.

display
Under the highly durable glass will exactly  be considerably more pixels. But how many pixels, and how dense they will be is still the theme of speculation. Possible screen resolutions include 1472×828 for the 4.7-inch model and 1704×960 for the 5.5-inch model.

Camera

 The iPhone 6’s camera will still have 8-megapixels with upgrades focusing on optics. The camera in the iPhone 6 is certain to be a vast upgrade in the way of optics. We will see its advantages on iPhone 6 event September.

camera
Along with the usual sensor upgrades is rumored to come OIS. It is a hardware component built into the camera that works to reduce shakiness in videos and blurring in photos.

NFC

 The Apple is developing a mobile payments system to be integrated with Passbook this fall, rumors of the iPhone 6 containing a Near-Field Communications (NFC) chip have been prevalent. Together with Touch ID NFC technology would work to streamline the process of securely making payments from an iPhone.

NFC
While NFC technology has been in Android phones for a while now, it hasn’t gained much traction among the general public because it is a very popular way of paying for items. it will very likely become a normality that NFC should be included in the iPhone 6 as a payment method.

A8

The Apple’s A8 chip is expected to reach 2.0GHz or more per core. This is a huge increase over the A7 1.3GHz (iPhone 5s) and an incredibly fast mobile processor in general, especially when considering its 64-bit architecture.

Also A8 chip will be built using the 20-nanometer process, which, compared to the A7 28nm process, makes for a smaller chip with faster performance while using less energy.

One more improvement is that the iPhone 6 will include a barometric pressure sensor, which could be used for anything from indoor and outdoor navigation to crowd-sourced weather analysis. But its location is not known: inside or separate from the M8 chip.
The iPhone 6 September 9th event is so close. We will see the iPhone 6 in all its glory.
