Disappointed to see this where I live
If you see them on the street make sure beat their asses!
Yeah, am sure iPhone 6 design is to be blamed for criminal damage caused by uneducated stupid kids!
soon we'll have people walking into newsagents and setting the newspapers section alight....just to see if paper burns...
it's all good as it's informative for the general public.
gosh whats the world becoming....

if car manufacturers made sturdier cars nobody would die in car crashes....
Can't belief they do that. Hope their parents will be made to pay for it. The little *****.
In a different reality. My iPhone 6+ has been in my trouser pockets all week, whilst driving, train commuting, sitting, dining, dog walking, horse riding, car washing, wall paper stripping, furniture moving etc. absolutely fine for size and straighter than my ...
I'm confident to just use it as a smart phone just like normal. What s stupid hype.

Apple at the moment is solely focused on replenishing the out of stock stores and sending out the thousands of internet orders that have a 4 week delivery estimate...

Actually, over here in the UK, the word is arse. But we all know what you mean.
thats the last thing we want. The apple experience will be ruined. It will turn into a museum
don't touch this don't touch that, people cueing to get their turn. Or worse over bearing security making everyone uncomfortableNah, all it shows is that if you are intent on breaking something on purpose you. Wow, no **** Sherlock really.
Now if there were many reports where under normal usage these phones are bending AND Apple refuses to swap them around then yes there is a proper story. Until such time it is annoying at best and a malicious attempt at share price manipulation.

Guards with guns and some attack dogs so there will be intimidation factor present. Also security cameras and warning signs all around (vandalism will get you warned).
I hope they get prosecuted and fined.
Name some other phones which can be bent by a 12 year old in 10 seconds? Definitely not normal use, but looks to be far too weak compared to other phones on the market
12 year old??
You mean a 17 year old applying so much force that his hand was shaking and his fingers were red and white and he still needed to do it several times and change the grip on the phone twice?
Ah ok!
The fact is, within weeks we're going to see all competitor phones lined up on youtube and the iphone will be the only one that fails the 'bend' test easily. It will get millions of views. Not to mention all the bent iphones you will see on display. This whole things 'looks' horrible, and for a company like Apple where 'optics' is evertything. To the average joe, this doesn't look good.
The best analogy is like the drop test, all phones will eventually break when dropped but the iphone is the only one which drops from knee height or maybe even ankle height
A 12 year old can brake a TV in less then 5 seconds!
A 12 years old can set a house on fire in less then 5 seconds!
A 12 years old can crash your car in less then 5 seconds.
As it appearers on the video, a 12 years old can bend a phone in less then 10 seconds, that surprisingly to some is not made to purposely be bended but it's made to be used by humans, you know...... in a human way
This argument is stupid! Does it really matter if it bends easier? You are not meant to bend it with your bare hands, end of story. Now if it bends while you have it on your front pocket, that would be a different matter and of course would be an issue.
All we can do to help apple is to show our iPhones and say nope mines fine. That'll help.
Wrong!
Best analogy would be to throw your phone in to solid concrete. Not many phones survive that but it is not normal use.
