  • Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has fallen below $99 amid a tech selloff as both the iPhone 6 Plus' reported bending issues and the quickly-pulled iOS 8.01 continue garnering ink.
  • An Apple customer support rep has told The Next Web a bent iPhone 6/6 Plus could be replaced under warranty if it passes a test called a Visual Mechanical Inspection. Apple's support team added the company is looking into the issue "with an insane amount of detail."
  • A poll done by 9to5 Mac (32K votes so far) currently shows 18.4% of respondents saying they're putting off buying an iPhone 6 until the issue is resolved, and 11.4% saying they own an iPhone 6 and are concerned. 46% are unconcerned, and 23% say they're not worried enough to have it affect their decision.
  • Meanwhile, Apple has released a workaround for iOS 8.01 installers who have seen their cellular radios and Touch ID sensors disabled by the update; the workaround requires users to re-install iOS 8. Apple says a new update (iOS 8.02) will arrive "in the next few days."
  • Yesterday: Apple roundup
  • Update: Apple says only 9 customers have complained about bent iPhone 6 units thus far, and insists bending is rare under normal use.
