iPhone 6 and iphone 6 Plus

[misi]

Seems you don't have to do those things to your iPhone 6, Apple is quite capable to disable your phone with an update.

Apple releases iOS 8.0.1 with fixes:

Apple has released iOS 8.0.1 to the public, and it’s rolling out now OTA to all devices capable of running iOS 8. The update’s build number is 12A402, and it packs fixes for a variety of bugs that have plagued users of version 8.0. Most notably, the new version includes a fix for the bug that was keeping HealthKit apps from the App Store. Furthermore, the update addresses a plethora of other problems including an issue with apps accessing photos from the Photo Library, a bug involving 3rd party keyboards, an issue that caused unexpected data usage when receiving SMS and MMS messages, an issue involving ringtones not being restored by iCloud, and more.

Update: Many users are reporting that cellular functions and Touch ID are no longer working post update, so we would recommend holding off until further notice. Many who have updated their iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPhone 5s are reporting no problems, so it appears this problem is likely confined to iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

Update 2: The update has been pulled. Apple has issued a statement to Re/code:

APPLE: "We are actively investigating these reports ... In the meantime we have pulled back the iOS 8.0.1 update.”

Checking my iPhone 5:
iOS 8.0
Your software is up to date.

Those iphone 6 buyers will be mightily pissed off if they upgraded and their new 1.2K$ doesn't make phone calls.

Apple broke its silence on complaints about bending iPhones, hours after withdrawing a glitch-ridden software update as the company struggles to restore momentum to the rollout of its latest phones.

Apple said its iPhones feature stainless steel and titanium inserts to reinforce high-stress locations and use the strongest glass in the smartphone industry.

Not strong enough...

I heard that there were 9 complaints out of millions, so far.

Maybe only 9 people could afford pockets to put their phone in after paying for the iPhonies.

 

[Guess]

It's lucky my work supplies me with shirt pockets big enough to put my large screen phone in. ( same size as iPhone 6+ )

Thinking to sell my pants(and shirts) to be able to buy it...
Hmmm... No pockets...

“We’ve designed the product to be incredibly reliable throughout all your real world use," Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller told me. "And in designing that we then have to validate heavily, and see how does it live up to real world use, and what are the forces and pressures on it, and how do you measure and prove that you’ve delivered on a specification.”

The new Sony Xperia

While if you want the devices outright, the Z3 Compact will set you back $699 and the Z3 $849.

Dunno...
$849... I would rather choose iPhone.

If you get a free PS4 then it would sweeten the deal.

Consumer Reports test results find iPhone 6 and 6 Plus not as bendy as believed
We stress test Apple's new phones, plus comparable models from Samsung, LG, and HTC

I plan on selling PS4 to make phone cheaper. Will get at least $400 for a new sealed PS4 which makes the phone down to $449 !!! ( maybe even cheaper )
