iPhone 6+ "Bend Test"

[Pandora Spox]

I don't trust it exclusively, but when it comes to services (not storage), it's hard to beat as a backup system. By "backup" I mean that if I should come home one evening to find my apartment tossed and my computer gone, I can go right next door and use my neighbor's computer to find out where my computer ended up and get the cops there.

Exactly. the Cloud is a giant database. Although it's contents are encrypted there ARE master users who MUST have access to the unencrypted info to maintain and recover things if necessary. I don't trust people.

Here?s the real reason iPhones are bending - MarketWatch

Why is iPhone 6 prone to bending?

“There are two possible explanations,” Uri Geller, the psychic illusionist famous for bending spoons with his mind, told MarketWatch. “Either the phone is so seriously thin and flimsy that it is bendable with mere physical force, which I cannot believe given the extensive tests Apple would have done. Or — and this is far more plausible — somehow the energy and excitement of the 10 million people who purchased iPhones has awakened their mind powers and caused the phones to bend.”

Reached in England to discuss this psychic event, Geller, 67, suggested Apple AAPL, +2.94% make him a spokesman. “I urge Apple to hire me to explain to the world that this is not the company’s fault at all,” he said. “I don’t own an iPhone 6 — I’m loyal to my BlackBerry BBRY, +4.69% and would never change — but if I did I have no doubt I could bend it with my mind.”

(MarketWatch suggests a commercial featuring Geller and that other master of bending, David Beckham.)

The iPhone is hardly the only gadget that is psychically malleable, Geller said. “I’ve bent my old BlackBerrys before — I’ll send you a picture to prove it.”

Geller’s explanation may come as little consolation to those whose shiny new iPhones have been bent into veritable flip phones, but he said that if they don’t believe him they should ask Siri to look up Albert Einstein.

“Einstein,” Geller explained, “proved to the world the scientifically amazing equation E=mc2 — and that everything in the universe is made from energy — including iPhones.”

ENERGY AND EXCITEMENT!

There are some things I can stare at and make them bend. A cellphone is not one of them.
