We are in a race to the bottom as the richest companies will just keep moving for no taxes, buying our politicians, and turning us all into slaves. 

Bottom line, just pay your freaking taxes like the rest of us.  

Corporations buying gov't and then hoarding the cash overseas needs to end right now for everyone.

I love Apple but they have how much $180 BILLION stashed there?  Come the )@(*# on when is enough enough?

You really think that corporations ultimately pay those taxes? Really?

You might want to brush up on some basic Econ.

I have a 6+ that has been exhibiting this problem and getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. My friend who purchased one little after I did (Both were Nov./Dec. '14) is experiencing the beginning stages of the same problem. I have kept mine in a case from the beginning and out of my back pocket after seeing the bending that was occurring on the phones of those who did such. All I hope is that this suit forces Apple's hand.

People can say one should just expect it to last the warranty or buy an extended warranty, but is that what Apple sells? Apple touts the design, lasting endurance, and quality of their products as being above the competition. By so doing, they imply said products will perform well for a reasonable amount of time. Under 2 years or much less in some instances is not reasonable. Refusing to acknowledge the bending and flexing that seems to create this problem over time is what started this whole mess.

The 6+ was a first gen product, but a first gen that was sold, bought, and advertised as an iteration of a successful product. This reminds me of the iPad 3 which was not prepared to handle a retina screen. I owned it and while it managed, it certainly wasn't as advertised. In reality, both of these products were such major shifts that they really constituted something new, not iterative in the way the 4s to the 5 was.

For me (speaking only of my personal experience) this is a trend in Apple products. I had a 2010 MacBook Pro that had to be replaced after 4 logic board failures. It was replaced by a 2012 Pro that again was replaced after 3 logic board failures. I now have a late 2013 Retina Pro that has had its logic board replaced 2 times. All the failures from the 2010 through the 2013 have been in the GPU. My iPhone 4 had to be replaced due to failure. My iPad Air had to be replaced due to multiple button failures which was linked to the logic board by the geniuses. Now my 6+ is suffering with this problem and my 2013 Pro that had its logic board replaced last month is starting to exhibit some of the same symptoms it did in the months leading up to the GPU failure. I love how the Apple ecosystem works together. But it has become increasingly harder for me to use that system as the products that sustain it have failed to function. Just my 2 cents.

"...they couldn't find a weapon on the scene." 

If this was Tim Cook or Eddy Cue, they would have never been handcuffed while the cops sorted things out. 

So a gun was never found, but a (black) man is arrested and detained based on a potentially false story.

Tim Cook probably doesn't even own a firearm so no one would ever claim he brandished a hand gun. Who doesn't believe that Dre not only has a hand gun but probably used some arrogant language when confronted by police. The cops don't put people in handcuffs and detained in a patrol car without some suspicion. Doesn't matter what color you are, if you look like a gangster you should probably be on your best behavior when dealing with the police.

Reading these comments remind me how so many people live in a box. One guy posted about the show Cops being his source of reality. Smh.
