Good grief the things that people belly ache about.

Do the people that own this realize what they've got in their possession?  Talk about first world problems.  So, it's got a slight bent in it.  Does it hamper performance?  No, it does not.

I wish my life were so in tune with goodness that stupid crap like this would bother me.

The sky is falling the sky is falling!!

Step back from your perfect world and take a deep breath.  So many other things to consider and concern ourselves with on this planet and you all focusing on crap like this.  Unbelievable.

The irony is thick.

As a reminder, world conflict, starving children, and the like are not AppleInsider's beat -- you may get a clue from that by the name of the site. Apple is our focus, also similarly clued by the title.

Could someone point me in the direction of WorldConflictInsider?  😜

It’s not even the fact that there’s a minuscule bend that concerns me.  Any given product by any given manufacturing process with any company could have an error in it.  No one is perfect.  

The concern is that, while the device may perform effectively, the slight bend likely impacts the structural integrity of the device, which could make it more susceptible to breaks with even slightly rough handling within the norms of everyday use.  

The whole point of this article is the fact that Apple acknowledges the error and just tells us to deal with it.  It hearkens back to the days of AntennaGate, “you’re holding it wrong, but here’s a $20 caseband that will fix your issue.).  

I get it...it’s a really slim and glass device that I could break.  But if there’s a manufacturing error that could make that more likely, Apple needs to step up.  

Is it just me, or is that the worst fitting suit in the history of men’s fashion?   Hoping it’s just a bad angle.  Of all the people I would expect to take pride in dressing sharp, Johnny Ive would’ve been at the top of my list.  

All he ever wears in Apple videos/pictures is a white or black T-shirt, usually from the chest up.

That being said, the guy is a design genius.  I don’t judge a book by the cover.  

“People like to read within their own filter bubble.”

I’d imagine it’s probably pretty easy to post with one’s own filter bubble in mind, too.

How did the Eric get the shot of the leaf with the bokeh effect? I thought the iPhone XR was limited to human subjects in portrait mode. Does Apple show pictures taken from third party apps as well?

Awesome point.
