Huh. So you contend that “the current” is the same as “the latest”. Well, I guess your English really is lacking. The iPhone 6 is current; it is still for sale. However, it is not the latest - that is the iPhone 6S. Current versions of the iPhone stretch back a year or two; they are not the latest.

Do you even comprehend English? "TheCurrent" is a far different concept than "current, " especially when you are talking about variations that distinguish one from another such as different models which it is known are changed every year or more frequently. The implicit statement of "the current" is therefore accept to mean the most recently available model not one from two years ago which has been superseded by two newer versions.

It's obvious you lack an understanding of common parlance. Had he said, a currently available" iPhone he would have been partially correct. but even that needs more clarification as NEW versions of that do not develop the problem until they have been in use for more than a year and a half or so, and then only a very few of those have even demonstrated the problem. However, he stated it as a blanket indictment of the entire iPhone 6 line, when all evidence is now pointing to a "few dozen complaints."

I was in a major Apple authorized repair station in Sacramento this morning, one not owned by Apple. I spoke with Albert, their head technician, as he was pulling a Fusion Drive setup from a defunct 27" iMac for me due to HIPAA regulations which required that I observe the removal.

During that process we discussed the hullabaloo about the iPhone 6 failures. The techs said they were wondering what all the fuss was about in the main stream news. Albert said they have seen ZERO iPhones with this complaint. I asked what they thought could be the probable cause of the failure mode of the iPhone 6es. The general agreement among the techs basically agreed with my assessment, that it was not a "bendgate" issue but most likely a "Tin Whisker" related problem. He's seen that on other older electronics.
