Shelly Palmer Radio Report – September 29, 2014

When the iPhone 4 was released in June 2010, people noticed that holding the device in a normal, natural way caused it to drop calls. Apple’s suggestion? If it doesn’t work when you hold it a certain way, don’t hold it that way! It wasn’t the message new iPhone 4 owners were expecting, but it was prescient. The iPhone 6 is facing a problem of its own – its “form-fitting” case shapes itself to match your backside – if you keep the device in your back pocket. In other words? It bends. Sadly, it does not bend back. Apple says this isn’t true, and that the iPhone 6 meets its high quality standards. Apple also says only nine people of the 10 million iPhone 6 owners have complained. If your iPhone is bent, Apple has nothing that might comfort you. While we wait for Apple to offer a solution instead of a non-explanation or denial, we consider all the possible meanings of the phrase “bend over.” It’s what Steve would have wanted us to do.
