The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus aren’t just bigger and better than ever, they’ve also got some subtle internal upgrades. I’m not talking processors; the new iPhones are the first Apple handsets to ship with 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and that gives them a hell of a speed boost.
802.11ac has already poked its head out in Androids and Windows Phones like the Galaxys S5 and Note 3, the HTC One, and the Nokia Lumia Icon, but this is the first time iPhoners will get a taste of the delicious speed. 5GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi connections can suck up data more than twice as fast as the old 802.11n, and it shows here as the iPhone 6 Plus gets a more than 2x Wi-Fi speed improvement over its older brother, and that translates to smoother web-surfin’ and video-loadin’ on your own home network.
The catch, of course, is that you have to have a router that can support this flavor of Wi-Fi too, and if you haven’t updated your router in the past few years, you aren’t going to benefit until you do. But if you needed something to give you a shove, maybe it’s time. [iClarified]

Apple has responded to the various reports of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus bending, saying that it’s “extremely rare,” and that in fact, only nine people out of all the customers that bought devices thus far have complained. That would presumably mean nine out of the well over 10 million that have sold thus far.
Apple noted to TechCrunch that under normal use, the problem rarely occurs, which is in contrast to the demonstration videos hitting YouTube showing users deliberately trying to deform their devices in extremely artificial circumstances. Since the first reports had emerged, mostly in forum posts on Apple enthusiast sites, others including Wired contributor Mat Honan have also come forward noting that their devices had warped somewhat.
Apple also added that the newest iPhones are built with “steel/titanium inserts” to “reinforce stress locations,” and that they use “the strongest glass in the industry” in order to prevent any problems like those described. In addition to the use of high-quality materials, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus also underwent ample testing to ensure they can endure bending, sitting, torsion and other kinds of stress, even over prolonged periods, throughout their design and development.
