Bending - should I be more careful

[technosix]

Also, I haven't heard much on it lately. Maybe folks have adjusted.

Precisely, it's simply a matter of being aware the phone is rather soft and fragile. Aluminum bends easily when a product is built like the iPhone. Remembering Apples priorities are style over functionality and durability. After all they're in the business of _Selling_ vast numbers of iPhones above all else.

Simply accept that's the way it is, be very careful and it'll make it through the year. After Antennagate with the iPhone 4 Apple created a proper antenna so iPhone 4S would be able to connect and stay connected on calls.

After being called out on Bendgate, I'm expecting they'll reinforce iPhone 6S or 7 or whatever they label the new phone, so it will be more durable. That's the phone I'm buying immediately before I end up with a bent iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.

Day 1 owner, haven't babied the phone any differently than previous ones. No bending.

Still no update from MacRumors member hanzoh who posted the original report of bending his phone at a wedding back in September. I wonder if Apple fixed it for him? MacRumors seems to have locked most of the threads discussing the bending of iPhones, and yet this site was one of the early leaders in exposing "Bendgate", promoting it to a Front Page article on September 23rd, just 4 days after the launch of the iPhone 6, and that generated a lot of discussion for the forums on this one topic alone. Even the oneofthenine.com website hasn't been updated since December - - I wonder why we don't hear about iPhone 6's bending anymore?

Hi, I read many about many cases when iPhone 6 plus bent just while staying in front pocket.

Is this really issue or just fault of certain users?

Can iPhone bend while in tighter front pocket for example while driving or sitting?

Does original iPhone leather case helps to prevent bending?

We're still not over this bending crap?
