Sigh indeed.... you could've left that last part off. No need to judge people. Keep your judgement on the device.
I happen to agree with you about this bending problem. I was sceptical until I saw that video.
Got a tip for us?

I didn't need to read this to know that the it isn't that bendable. People that are jealous of Apple's success always come up with stupid stuff to bash them.
Guarantee all the apple fans now love consumer reports after swearing to never read them again after they claimed the iPhone 4 had a faulty antenna.
Guarantee all the android fans now hate consumer reports after swearing that they are always right after they claimed the iPhone 4 had a faulty antenna
Apple doesn't care what people do with fully-purchased devices. In fact, they benefit. They made pure profit from the sale of the phone which will never cost them another dime with cloud services and support calls.
The point is that it is not as durable as samsung's.
Nobody cares about your 3310 or another irrelevant object.
Nobody's comparing apple to a piece of carbon fiber.
A new apple phone vs a new Samsung phone is a fair comparison.
Not to say anything but..... this didn't take a whole lot of effort!
Some of the bystanders swoar a little by the way.
Perhaps it's like some magic tricks? Bend it in that right spot in the right way and off it goes? Oh and I think he didn't put any effort into that Moto X so has falsified that result IMO.

Watch the full video! the motox in fine.
If he bends the phone like that in 3 seconds with not much force...well that's just bad design.
I think the Internet made everyone stupid, because people believe this random sh&&& as true facts.
If you're standing around like a moron trying to bend your phone to prove a point I guarantee every phone can be bent.
It should be moment, not force
The reason why it takes more force to bend iPhone 6+ is because that bending is actually a moment issue, not a force one.
iPhone 6+ is larger, if you apply the same force on the edge, you get larger moments

It's not irrelevant, it is more durable. All these comparisons are relative to other phones as opposed to scientifically measuring how much force they take and then answering if that is problematic, like Consumer Reports did.
The iPhone 6 is plenty strong enough for the vast majority of users.
The iPhone 5 and Note 3 were scandalously overbuilt for their purpose. This waste of precious resources needs to be investigated.
Well, I sat on my phone today against an edge of a chair. Following bendgate thought I lost a lot of money.mtook my phone out, brand spankin new. Not even a tiny bend. Guess I don't have to worry about it much.
Kind of. doesn't seem like they broke down how much force and at what points would occur from 'normal use' like say if someone had it in a back pocket and sat on it, front pocket etc.
Well based on the logic here, everyone except Nokia 3310 has clearly a manufacturing issue or a really bad designer.
What the difference between compare samsung's to another phone vs. apple to samsung's? Are they all phones? Is durability on top of your priority?
Then why don't you buy a Samsung phone and be happy with it? Why bother going here to prove what?
Most iPhone owners don't give a sh^$% about Samsung or other phones.
You just proved that people won't always treat their phones well, which seems to be the #1 solution to bendgate. Im very happy that your phone is well, however.
