If this ruling sticks then a major adjustment in AAPL's price is coming down the tracks. Should be good for roughly a 15-20% drop. At 16, AAPL's p/e is looking a little pricey in any case. Other tech perps are no doubt peering anxiously over their shoulders but AAPL is the standout bad actor.

Correction: it's that and death.

It's only Apple that doesn't regard a wake up call for good engineering as insightful.

The pattern is pretty much all the same. The paid astromodders show up a day or two after the article, to protect Apple's shiny reputation from any tarnish by truth.

But you can bend the iPhone 6+ in half with your fingers. I call that flimsy.

Hey Apple astromod, what is not accurate about that? I would say the odour of desperation is getting pretty thick.

Perhaps. By making the iPhone 2 mm thicker Apple could have avoided bendgate and also the embarrassing situation where the camera sticks out so the phone can't lie flat. But Jobs is dead, so...

But don't you think it's kind of crappy that the iPhone 6 is so flimsy, especially for the price?

Apple bills its latest product as a premium phone and brags endlessly about the supposed build quality, apparently justify the high price tag. But the truth is, Apple's latest product is a questionably engineered flimsy thing that costs just $200 to make. Not premium at all. Nothing to distinguish it from the competition, quite the contrary. Apple is now engaged in a desperate dance to hide that rather obvious fact from joe idiot apple consumer.

It would seem that Apple astromodders running rampant. And why not? It is worth $billions to Apple to spin this issue away. Why not shed a little ethics to achieve such a worthy goal?
