Apple recalling iPhone 6 Pluses to correct their iSight Apple is asking owners of its iPhone 6 Plus phablet to check the device's serial number, because some batches of the device are producing blurry photos. Cupertino says the problem is attributable to “a component that may fail causing your photos to look blurry.” If that's the case, entering your serial number here will reveal if …
"What a clever person you are. Apple recall a batch of devices where they state there's a faulty component, and you somehow imagine, in your fevered brain, that someone is putting the blame on the photographer."
Yep.
They have a sense of humour.
You have a creepy emotional attachment to a corporation.
I think I know which is healthier.
Or the same joke repeated ad nauseum on ever story about Apple just gets trite and boring even if you were inclined to laugh at it the first time.
Your are <insert verb> ing it wrong.
Rounded corners.
They copied it and claimed to invent it.
Sheep.
etc.
Just make them sticky posts at the top of each article. Save these people from RSI.
I agree - pretty much any smartphone now can generate pretty impressive images - certainly good enough not to always take along my DSLR.
My problem is though (and Apple while it's not just you, I'm looking at you more than most) the obsession with a slim form factor makes them a pig to handle even for casual photos that aren't Selfies or shots of ones dinner for Facebook....
The component that woud be faulty would be that thing known as a "camera".
The cameras always tend to be modular, once you have opened up the device and removed enough of the things that are in the way of the camera module. Usually just getting the LCD off is enough, somtimes a little bit more.

Comparable quality - sometimes.
Comparable functionality - you're havin' a giraffe! Just for starters, where's the tripod mount or the fisheye lens?
Indeed so. My Nokia 1020 takes pretty good photos and has a far higher pixel count than my Nikon SLR. However, the Nikon has a bigger sensor, interchangeable lenses...blah, blah. BUT, and it's a big but, as a pro photographer friend says ad nauseam, the best camera in the world is the one you've got with you. In my case, almost invariably the Nokia.
"If it is indeed replacing just the camera, that hints at an impressively modular design for the iPhone 6 Plus."
Errr... You've not looked inside a camera equipped mobile phone recently/ever have you?
The cameras are almost always a module bought in from someone who knows about optics, like Sony for example.
They're small, look like silver sugar cubes, and have a little ribbon cable and connector on them. Due to the nature of cameras, they're usually one of the thickest items inside the case, and they rather need to look out of a hole. This tends to make them strangely accessible and unlikely to be hidden under things ;-p
No, Steve Jobs allegedly responded to someone saying to *avoid* holding it that way. i.e. on the edges:

So while not a direct quote, "you're holding it wrong" became the paraphrase of "just avoid holding it in that way"
