Report: Apple's iPhone 6 has the highest failure rate among iPhones — but Samsung is worseA recent study of the past five years' worth of iPhone releases saw that the iPhone 6 was, hands down, the worst Apple handset release in recent memory. The 6 was notoriously bad, with a staggering 22 percent failure rate. Even the 5s was deemed more reliable, with a mere 5 percent failure rate. Both current models, the iPhone 8, and the iPhone X, have narrowed the failure rate to just three percent, which seems pretty respectable. Overall, Blancco found that Samsung devices had a failure rate of 27.4 percent — a rate higher than even the worst iPhone, which was released four years ago.
Study: iPhone 6 has highest failure rate among iPhones — but Samsung's rate is higher
You must have good Karma :)Study: iPhone 6 has highest failure rate among iPhones — but Samsung's rate is higher By Stephen Silver Thursday, July 12, 2018, 12:58 pm PT (03:58 pm ET)A new study by a security firm finds that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S are much more likely to fail than any other iPhone model -- however, Samsung has a failure rate higher than that of any other manufacturer tracked by the firm. According to "State of Mobile Device Repair & Security," a new report released this month by security and data erasure firm Blancco, the iPhone 6 has a failure rate of 22 percent, with the iPhone 6S coming in second at 16 percent. Every other active iPhone model is in the single digits, with the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus listed at 3 percent each. While the iPhone 6 generation has had the highest failure rate among the last several Blancco quarterly reports, the firm noted that recent software updates have adversely affected the iPhone 6's battery lifespan. However, Samsung's overall failure rate of 27.4 percent is both the highest of any Android manufacturer and higher than the highest rate for an iPhone, Blancco said.
Apple's cheaper iPhones are not the volume sellers pundits predicted: iPhone 8, X are
according to Apple's cheaper iPhones are not the volume sellers pundits predicted: iPhone 8, X are By Daniel Eran Dilger Thursday, July 05, 2018, 08:05 am PT (11:05 am ET)It's not news that Apple is grabbing all the profits in the smartphone industry. That means each of these older iPhones were outsold in sales volumes by the OPPO A83, which rounded out the top ten with a 1.2 percent share of global smartphone sales. So much for the media narrative that customers were not buying iPhone X because of sticker shock and were increasingly buying cheaper iPhone models instead. Remember too that nobody expected iPhone X to be Apple's volume sales leader. To date, the Nikkei, Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg have still never acknowledged that their reporting was grossly in error nor even really changed their tune about the pricing or demand for iPhone X.iPhone 2018 Leaks: Which New iPhones Are Getting Facial Recognition Tech?
