Have there been any iPhone without "design defect"? Does any one think "design defect" is not made by accident since Apple fights everyone who tried to fix thei

  The 4 had the "you're holding it wrong" antenna. The 6+ is too bendy. What else has there been?

    Didn't the camera lens on the 5 or 5S cause purple lens flares to appear in photos? I love my iPhone, just trying to answer your question.

      Looks like! http://www.cultofmac.com/193769/purple-lens-flare-problem-occurs-because-youre-holding-your-iphone-5-wrong-apple-says/ http://www.cultofmac.com/193769/purple-lens-flare-problem-oc... Don't know how I missed that one, maybe because it's not as serious, but I'd say it still counts. I like my iPhone too, but I am curious what other problems are out there. Seems like they've been pretty solid for the most part, but I say that out of potential cluelessness, not defensiveness.

    The iPhone 5 black paint chipping problem, the iPhone 5 sleep/wake button failure, the iPhone 5 battery problem. The bending issue extends to the regular 6 as well, I've encountered multiple devices in the wild that have it. That's about it though. I would also argue that all of these issues are more isolated than reports make it seem. No doubt, they are all grounds for a good extended warranty program at the very least but they aren't dangerous, recall-worthy or a case where all devices are affected. Just a significant enough number that if it occurs, it should be a free repair or replacement.
