Please re-upload it, missed it and these kids deserve to be known for their antics... They probably got abuse from comments and figured they would just remove it and that would be the end of that...

Dream on noob
In other news: metal bends, glass breaks and scratches, most electronics don't play well with water, too many snicker bars will make you look like many of the people in these bendie videos.

Apple are gonna recall a product that is selling like hot cakes because....well because a handful of people on the Internet has created a "problem" that the average joe in real life doesn't have.
Yeah that makes sense business wise...
I haven't made it public but somebody else has posted it from another source on this thread. I think it was mirror ninja or something like that
Get out of here!
a 7,1mm object made of glass and aluminium bends??
don't believe you!
Bring the mythbusters in to decide on this.

It's on the Metro UK too
After all this is a place where "fanboys" are expected to be found. Fandroid newbie trolls on the other hand? Apparently on much more quantities...!!
yeah, unfortunately a lot of fanboys don't realize that they're not helping here...
I would consider myself a fanboy too; but I am a fanboy for a reason, I like higher quality products, products made with better material, products that look and feel great and that are more durable.
I have iPods and Macs for years and years, and with a basic level of care, those products stand the test of time, just a scratch here and there on the aluminum that gives them character.
This phone is different; first we can all agree it is much less attractive than the 4 and the 5; and having to worry about your phone all the time as if it was a baby is just an annoyance. Good technology, good design, should be there to help us with our daily lives; we should not have to think about it all the time.
Whether it is bad design or bad execution at the factory, something is not as it should be here, and the later they acknowledge it and repair it, the worst it becomes for the company. As fanboys, we should help them realize early on that it's a big issue if we want that company to succeed.
Regardless of whether or not the phone is capapble of bedning, which it could very well be, given enough pressure, this in no way excuses or justifies what these ****s did at the Apple Store. So let's say, yes, it does bend under pressure. What they did was still wrong.
Put it this way, you have a 6+ and a stranger wants to see if it bends, so he grabs it and bends it. Would that be ok?
So just because it's the Apple Store makes it ok?
A crime is a crime is a crime. Period.
Accountability. Welcome to it.

well, the people won settlements against Apple for things of much less importance you know, it happens at least once a year.
to think that they're going to get away with that.... I don't think so

How about you test that "theory", walk into a store and break something worth around $900 US oh and tape it, get back to us with the results.

Well, Im still going to provide Apple with the information, just in case.
15 year olds can be charged with Criminal Damage, Section 1 for the actual act, and as they threatened to do it again 9with better cameras), Section 2.
Again dream on, but after reading your other posts on this, just LOL

It's really sad how our youth feels so entitled and has no respect for someone else's property. I like how they didn't buy an iPhone of their own to bend. I'm at a loss for words how these kids got away with this. They are probably laughing and it really frustrates me.
Mine didn't even bend, it cracked like a cookie
Clearly a problem.
Class action lawsuit anyone?
All you can do at this is shake your head. Youth. We've all been there before though so on some level I can relate!
