Hipsters are gonna freak if they can't wear their jeans skin tight for fear of bending their phone. Now they won't be able to kill millions of sperm and walk around with their scrotum in their abdominal cavity.

LOL. We'll be able to see the 10 degree bend in their iPhone thanks to their skinny jeans! It will be like an acute triangle sticking out of their pockets.
Huh. Post count increaser? :troll: Just joking, friend
AppleCare +
Good investment
Those are due to defective anodizing coating. You're implying there's another issue on top of defective anodizing coating and that's the use of the softer aluminum. The latter has to be across the board but the fact that many of us still have flawless iPhone 5 free of dents argues against the softer aluminum being a culprit.
And you're assuming that the same grade of aluminum is being used in all the iPhones.
Not a safe bet with multiple factories in multiple countries involved.
I don't think Apple is dumb enough to use different grades of anodized aluminum that may be more or less susceptible to wear and tear. I'm betting the ones that are rubbing off like crazy within a few days actually have defective anodizing coating.
haha yup. Also, not sitting down with it in your front pocket.
I don't think Apple is dumb enough to replace a fully working Maps app with one that doesn't. Wait, oops....

The same exact thing happened to my iPhone 5. And I was wearing sports shorts. I had a pretty hardcore case on it. My volume buttons got stuck so I pulled off my case... And sure enough it was bent. About just as much as the picture you put up.
Apparently not....I like the phone. Just wanted to see if I'm the only one.
Thinner glass and thinner metal band is going to make the phone more prone to bending. Just look at how little metal there is left on the band where the button for volume is located. It is why is never carry in my pocket.
What "band" are folks talking about?
The 5 is a unibody (picture a bathtub) made from milled aluminum. There is no band around the perimeter like the 4/4S.....
This is the main reason I opted for a new 4S over the 5. I played with the 5 at ATT and damn, that thing felt delicate. Too light and too thin. I work a lot with my phone in my pocket and I would never trust this thing not to bend. Apple has definately gone too far with it's obsession with thin.UPDATE
went to apple store, genius was speechless and the phone was replaced. Didn't even have to use my AppleCare!

So, great. Get a new, thin, light iPhone 5, but make sure you put it in a huge, heavy case to protect it. Am I the only one that sees the stupidity in this?
(there's even another thread where a guy's iPhone 5 got hot and came out of his Otterbox case warped.)
Yes Apple. They just got lucky the problem is only isolated to a few hundred people for now. But when other peoples phone start bending expect "bend-gate"
