Aside from all these important bending "issues" that man truly does have an eminently punchable face.

I bet that woul bend a treat...
 
Let's stop all this conjecture.

Spend £800. And. If it bends it's only £800 I've lost...

Oh no. What am I saying? It's a disaster....still. Only nine people affected. And no more since so well worth risking cos Apple wouldn't lie would they?

Oh no. What am I saying? It's a cover up for a massive design error which will only impact in a few weeks time. Not now.

Still. Who's to say for sure? Pass me my credit card.....

Oh no. What am I saying..... Etc.
 
lol

"Extremely rare"

Apple can say anyting won't they

Its a thin phone, made of less than optimal materials..

So. what Apple is saying "somehow" those defeats only apply to a limited range, and "somehow" these were made poorly ?

er..ok..

I challenge everyone to do this to their iPhone 6 is in the back pocket, break it, and then Apple will give you a replacement free. Then come back and tell me that is only "a few people" or "recall process" suddenly just decided to be a good idea.

Using more scientific testing, using actually scientistic testing equipment found the iPhone 6 bends less then the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Only the iPhone does not bend back because its aluminum.

I would think the Note 3 is actually LESS robust.

Well, I would think the elasticity of the Note 3 is a better option than the iPhone staying bent.... but that's just me I guess...

I have no numbers, but the percentage of people carrying phones in their back pocket is incredibly small. No phone was ever designed for that.

Do you have proof of that.

Though to be honest the 3310 I had, did not care if I sat on it, that is one phone I am confident was desgined to be carried in any pocket you wanted. Sitting on it, just resulted in pain to you, phone was fine.
 
Why would people wanna sit on a phone anyway or even be placed in any back pocket...

its not a safe nor secure place for any phone anyway...

no wonder why they get lost. I'd rather it in my front shirt pocket as its safer. and u do not have one, find a better location.
 
Apple has one of the finest PR groups in the world.

Apple said, "a total of nine customers have contacted Apple with a bent iPhone 6 Plus."

This is like the Antennagate conference, where they said, "only .5% called Applecare." Very clever to leave out other complaint venues.

  • Apple knew that it was smart to respond while they could still say only nine.

  • They left out anyone with a bent iPhone 6.

  • They left out anyone who traded in without actually calling Apple.

  • They left out anyone who contacted other retailers or carriers. Since Apple store sales normally only account for less than 1/5 of all iPhone sales, do the math.

I don't know how the iPhone 6 can bend by being in a normal size pocket. my iPhone 6 is more comfy in my levis front pocket than my 5s :eek: walking sitting driving running I feel it less in my levis front pocket than my 5s and that never bent. The ergonomics of the 6 is amazing. To hold and use and also the fit and feel in my levis. Its better than my 4S and 5S

How tight are the jeans people are wearing?

common sense was not taught to these people. They need an app to tell them how and when to feel as the computer in their skull has stopped functioning so they don't know when something is wrong. Maybe its time to blame the parents

There's an awful lot of Internet hostility going on here, and a lot of people are apparently under the impression that this is some big conspiracy to bash Apple.

I love the company, their customer service, and their products. I'm just apparently one of a small number of users whose phones are showing signs of this issue. I could easily go two years with my device in the state it's in now because, as I said, it's fairly subtle--so subtle that it's entirely possible it arrived in this condition and I didn't notice until I specifically checked for any bending or warping. If this is something that's happened in the past week of extremely light use, however, I definitely want to do something about it to prevent future issues.

I might get a picture up, but I honestly don't feel like I have anything to prove here.

Yep. Didn't happen.
 
This story was always overblown. But as is the usual when it concerns apple, stories get overblown.

Do you own an iPhone 6 or personally know the tons of people that got them bent? I know we have a guilty until proven innocent mentality in this world, but what if it actually is true that this issue isn't widespread, that Apple is telling the truth, and that the guy who created this bendgate is the one that is being a liar? Take a look at the below inconsistency.

When he is bending it with his bare hands, the phone shows 2:26 p.m. Then, talking about it that later claiming it has bent as a consequence of his actions earlier in the video, the phone shows 1:58 p.m. Then later when he is summarizing, the time on the phone is 1:58 - 2:00 and has a bend in it. Then it shows 2 p.m. and the phone is straight with some possible damage near the volume button.

They know they have legions of zombies who will buy and disperse their gospel - their PR team is very talented.

"Bendgate Truthers" :D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Is it any surprise apple is lying? Seriously. As if anyone at apple would know just how many of these occurances have happened nationally, give me a break.
