> My take on bendgate is, that's what happens when management puts designer decisions ahead of engineering decisions. I tend to agree. On the other hand there are designers who like thing to "look good" and designers who are into usabilty. Certainly this blunder was due to the former. As to a fix. Not a chance. All the dies and machines are set up. Theres not a cubic mm to spare inside those phones. Moonray commented: > I am sure though, we all wouldn't mind it the iPhone 6+ were bumped up to 8 MM and the space used for getting us better battery life. Duh! Maybe not exactly 8MM but the point is... battery power is much more important than thinness to all except a dweeby designer who is obsessed with Bauhaus "coolness" which isn't coolness at all. Lennie Tristano was cool... dweeby designers obsessed with Bauhaus are just dweebs. Apple can and is out of touch with its customers in many cases. They live in a world of their own... they need to get out. I'm not sure the space ship headquarters is going to help on that. (I was lucky enough to see Lee Konitz one night live. Somebody need to tell those blabbermouth people to shut up.)
