You buy a phone for 2 years, not 1 day. So these numbers will skyrocket over time. Also not everyone is using that site. Bent phones are a lot more than that. That's just the people that took the time to report it. For example, I wouldn't expect the SI iSheep to ever report a bent phone for fear it might harm Apple and their stock... LMFAO... Too funny...

BREAKING..New Apple malware can infect your iPhone or Macbook via USB by Timothy J. Seppala \| 4 hrs ago engadget.com China and Apple devices still aren't getting along super well, it turns out. WireLurker's a malware that's been attacking Cupertino's ecosystems in the region for the past six months, and according to cyber-security firm Palo Alto Networks (which discovered it), it's the biggest that's delivered via trojan-horse OS X apps. What's more, it's the first that can infect iOS applications like a traditional virus, and even auto-generates infected software. Some 467 apps have been infected and downloaded over 350,000 times, and could have affected "hundreds of thousands" of users. And here's where the regional issue comes into play: the malware is hosted on Maiyadi, a Chinese, third-party app store. That isn't the only way for WIreLurker to attack, though -- it can gain access to iOS devices via USB as well, and even through a charger it seems. Oh, and you can infect an OS X device by connecting your iPhone or iPad via USB, too. Sounds fun, right? That isn't the half of it as once your device is compromised, WireLurker will snag your phonebook and read through any iMessages. The malware's ultimate goal, however, isn't clear just yet. Palo Alto Networks says to avoid it, don't connect to any unfamiliar devices (desktop or otherwise) to one another and avoid any strange chargers too. We can't imagine that Justin Long is super happy about any of this. VIA: New York Times SOURCE: Palo Alto Network MORE COVERAGE: Reuters TAGS: apple, IOS, iphone, maiyadi,

MY NAME ISN’T DAN AND I HAD A BENT IPHONE THAT APPLE REFUSED TO REPLACE Nov 08, 2014 691 oneofthenine.com Following on from the piece on theverge.com today singing the virtues of Apple’s superior customer service I thought it worth just checking again with Apple as to what the correct line is on warranty replacements for bent iPhones. It seems that it is still the same policy of ‘customer’s fault, no replacement’ that so many people have faced. See customer service chat grab above. While it’s great Dan’s phone was replaced it is not great to close with the line: I’m not likely to stop recommending it to others. If this happens again (or if you also happen to own an iPhone that has bent), I’ll go through the same process and hopefully have as good of an experience as I had today. I think before putting out an article with the level of readership theverge has it might have been prudent to check if they had received some form of special treatment outside of what many others have faced. So can all customers now call upon this level of service by quoting the article on the verge? I very much doubt it. Is the fact it has a flawed design and lack of warranty repair available to address it going to impact their 9/10 review score for the iPhone 6? Again I doubt it. COMMENTS: SergeIt takes a lot of pressure to bend an iPhone… More so than other phones… Wow. I understand that a representative is paid to say this, but we all know that this is a blatant lie. Damn… it’s getting more and more difficult to like anything about Apple… Just the arrogance itself is a huge turn off already! LeeI agree with Serge. I’m turned off by Apple. Not only the fear of paying up for a defective phone, but their arrogance. The plus is too unwieldy, the 6s screen is low res now adays, and they might bend. I hope I don’t miss ios when I get the nexus 6.
