Good and bad as well as statistics are not your core competence.

iPhone 6

To make matters worse, internal documents from Apple showed that Apple knew
the [iPhone 6] was susceptible to damage from bending (via Vice). There's
not much worse than paying a premium price for a flagship product only to
find out the manufacturer knew [the iPhone 6] was designed to be defective.

Apple started a tech revolution with the first iPhone and had already built
a reputation for creating innovative and quality products. That is
precisely why it is all that much more disappointing when it fails to get
[the iPhone 6] phone right.

Multiple reports of the [iPhone 6] phone bending while being stored in
peoples' pockets or subjected to moderate stress arose, and the issue
became amplified when Unbox Therapy picked up on it and created a video
specifically testing the phone with dismal results.

While the [iPhone 6] phone does not always break, moderate stress can cause
it to have a permanent bend centered in the frame around the location of
the volume buttons.

Furthermore, an issue related to the bending issue called "Touch Disease"
arose, something we covered in 2016. This flaw can also result from
moderate bending, causing the chip to become dislodged and, preventing
touch response to a part of the screen, which kinda makes it useless.

To make matters worse, internal documents from Apple showed that Apple knew
the [iPhone 6] phone was susceptible to damage from bending (via Vice).

Furthermore, Apple's preferred fix for either issue was a [consumer paid
for] replacement, which was convenient [for Apple] as many [iPhone 6]
phones were already out of warranty.

While "Bendgate" and "Touch Disease" caused some consternation from the
Apple faithful and really upset some owners of the iPhone 6, Apple remains
on top of their game.

Still, there's not much worse than paying a premium price for a flagship
product only to find out the manufacturer knew it was subpar.
