Believe it or not, more people believed this than you can imagine. I guess it serves them right if they have that little common sense.

I bet there will be people who cooked their new phones howling at Apple to replace them for free, because the company didn't specifically warn them; "NOTICE! DO NOT MICROWAVE PHONE FOR ANY REASON!" Bring on the lawyers.

I wonder if Android, Microsoft, etc. have occasional problems with major updates, overwhelmed servers, etc.? Maybe not. They certainly don't make the news. Perhaps we are all so used to just having Apple products work, that we get wild when there is a hiccup. I imagine that to most users (Non techies) iPhones might as well be magic. And we expect magic to work without a hitch.

As far as the bending goes, I've read that out of the millions in users hands only a handful have complained. If you actually go out of your way to TRY to bend your phone you get what you deserve -- a curved phone. I guess if one feels he/she MUST keep it in their pocket all day, don't buy a Plus or put it in a case. We may have just run up against the wall of the possible. A phone that is extra large, extra light but still affordable must sacrifice a little rigidity. As another member commented earlier, if the phone used stainless steel or titanium instead of aluminum it would be more rigid, but so expensive only the rich could afford one.

So far our members seem happy with their new iPhones. I hope that trend keeps up.
