Again, witness testimony is powerful.
Single source witnesses mean **** unless you have a story to corroborate it with. This is just the intel analyst in me speaking.

The numerous witnesses are all independent and come from different backgrounds but have the same corroborating story about their iPhone 5 bending with typical use. That is very powerful witness testimony for a class action lawsuit.
What are you waiting for? Start up your class action suit then...

People heard about someone getting a free replacement on a bent phone that may or may not have been the fault of the user, so now everyone else wants a piece of the pie and get free replacements on a phone they messed up themselves but are going to blame it on poor craftsmanship and quality control testing.
I don't think I've heard of anyone getting a free replacement phone. Everyone I've heard with the issue said that Apple refused to replace their phone for free. I'm guessing this isn't a motivating cause.
so is this bendgate thing real or not?
Apple has publicly stated nothing. Just because someone that felt some empathy for you for sitting on your phone tells you that they have seen it before, or that they "know of" something is NOT the same as Apple admitting there is a problem.
So far Apple's ONLY "official" statement on all of the tens of hundreds of cosmetic "issues" has been from Tim Cook stating that Aluminum wear was "normal".
That's it. No acknowldgement of anything. Because there IS NO PROBLEM.
If there was, 2 things would happen: 1) sales would be impacted (because companies like consumer reports instead of an OCD fanboy would be reporting the problem) and 2) Apple would acknowledge the problem (like they have done MANY times before (antenna and map "gate" come to mind).
There is no problem. Aluminum bends if you apply enough stress. It also scratches easier than glass. It's thinner, lighter, and doesn't shatter as a trade off for those "problems".
So just because Apple hasn't officially said so there is no problem with bending or scuffing? If that would be the case I don't believe we would have several scuffing and bending threads, do you? Or are they all making it up? And if they do, why?
Do you really think these people are all liars or have damaged their phones on purpose just to get a new phone or get to cry over it? Or could it really be that these people really have had real problems with their phones?
Putting your hands over your ears and closing your eyes or sticking your head in the sand won't make the problems go away. The only way of making them go away is to accept there are problems and deal with them. That is, if everyone complaining isn't just making this stuff up in some sort of big conspiracy (by Android fanboys maybe?).
