Quora: Should Apple recall the iPhone 6 Plus?


A little old, but this Quora question popped up for me. The posed question asks whether Apple should recall the iPhone 6 Plus because of reports of it bending. Nicolas Akmakjian's answer seems about right.

Think of it like a fork. Can you bend a fork? Sure. But you don't so as not to annoy your hostess and embarrass yourself in front of the other guests. Are forks defective since they can be bent? No. Just use them normally and you'll be fine.

...
But maybe we should have an emotional intelligence test before buying one: Do you bend forks at parties? Cheap feature phone for you! Can you be taken out of your parent's basement without mortifying them? Enjoy the very nice iPhone 6 Plus.

Life pro tip: Don't sit on either a fork or a phone.
