Will this become another major new issue for Apple, one worthy of having a hashtag title, or will this simply blow over? The next few days will tell the tale. If more iPhone 6 Plus owners start reporting the same issue, Apple might have to turn to its damage control team once again.

Is the problem the slight bend in it that's making it crash.

I have had my Note 3 for a full year & I have never had it reboot by itself. I have had some apps force close, but that's more my rooting & tinkering while messing with Xposed Framework Modules...
Never a full self reboot though...

One day I was in class and my Note 3 was in my pocket, I started feeling that my pocket is getting warm but I didnt give what was happening much attention. 15 minutes later I felt something like a sizziling hot pan was placed on my leg. I directly removed my phone from my pocket and I can literally say it was on fire. I suffered from minor burns on my leg area.
It was terrifying not for me alone but for the whole class. The professor was shocked of what happened she thought I was kidding until she knew that I was in pain and I had to be firstaided.
It turned out there was somekind of a hardware issue as my Note showed something like "Safe Mode" it was written in white text on the screen. Moreover, my fully charged phone had 20% of battery left.
And since then my Note 3 lies on my desk. The overheating still occurs from time to time however I remove the battery directly when I sense it.

Dude, the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus is like $1,000... It really should be working flawlessly... My $350 64 GB OnePlus One works AWESOME.

This what happen when large amount of apps is being installed to a device that's not being tested in the first place for compatability to its hardware and software. Apple engineer should know that but it seemed that they are more concern about their profit not the quality anymore . Sad but reality is reality.

I have 110 apps on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, I have never had a reboot issue EVER. Apple's iOS can't handle lot's of apps? REALLY?!?
To me that's just unacceptable. Apple what are you thinking?

It should be working flawlessly. My Magic 8-Ball says Apple has a faulty memory controller in the phones that are having problems.

another pos item from apple they had plenty of time to get it right but instead they want the user to debug it what a bunch of aholes at apple this company is going down a slippery path just ask microsoft if you bought one of these pos models get your money back it will be awhile before they get it right i think if they would have built them here this problem would not exist.

Apparently it's not as easy as just slapping a bigger screen together.

Nobody else would know, since no other manufacturer has ever had to make and sell a smartphone at this pace.

Yaa, that's why one should always keep in mind that u deliver what u can..and Apple tried to over deliver by using their power brand mixing with mediocre product !! Massive recalls for massive sales hurts more.. I don't see the 6 plus even close to the quality of note 4.. They made joke out of themselves with products like this and positioning as jewelery (almost the perfect thing on earth - Apple and their fans)

Poor excuse
Apple had basically a whole year to design/develop the 6/6+ and iOS 8
The sales don't make a difference since Apple doesn't handle manufacturing
That's Foxconn's job and Apple's supplier's (e.g. TSMC, Samsung, LG, JDI, ...)

Hmmm...atleast my first point stand...perfection says are gone with scott forstall...
We started see all this problems from ios 6.x.x when scott forstall was thrown out....ios 7 was disaster when it was released ios 8 comes very close to it....
