Has the bending thing died down?

You haven't proven anything yourself.

We've been discussing this in detail for months. Adopting what appears to be selective amnesia isn't a rebuttal. I have nothing to prove. The evidence has been batted around here to the point of absurdity already. None of it suggests that the iPhone is more prone to bending than similar phones. None of it suggests that the phone has a design flaw.

Now, whether or not you want to keep dragging this out is up to you. It's quite clear at this point that the bend reports have slowed to a trickle and that the "issue" is not really an issue at all. Given the number of phones in the wild the claims of those who suggest that the phone "bends easily" or is likely to bend "under normal use" or that just putting it in a pocket will result in a bend have been proven wrong by the simply lack of bent phones. If the claims of the pro-bend side of this debate were true there would be MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of bent phones to talk about, not a few isolated cases.

And that's pretty much that.

Unbox therapy????????? The "click bait scammer" who started all this bendgate negative press for Apple is your source??

Where is your source that it takes more to bend a Note 4 than a iPhone 6+?

This person said it was the same as the iPhone 6+ - what do you have to dispute that? Anything?? Bueller?? Anything??

No, I didn't think so.

Go back and rant some more. It is amusing to watch.

I understand that, but to come in 6 months later and say its bent? don't think it will fly. If you go in now they will since it basically just came out. People have had it for 2 months or less.

to be honest, i wanted a 6 plus.
but i completely changed my mind due to bendgate.
i dont like to baby my phone.

happy with the 6 tho

Meanwhile, I'm using a Spigen Neo hybrid case and put it in my front pocket daily. No bending. Babied my 6 Plus for day before I completely forgot about bending and threw it in my pocket.

Have fun not-enjoying an amazing phone.

It amazes me how people base everything off this forum. If I went off this forum, I would never buy anything.

Well, the good news is that my posts aren't written to amuse you.

You asked SM for a source.
I provided one.
Then you whined about it...and yet you provided no source of your own to contradict what the source stated.
Instead, you just go on the attack again, the way you always do. Your schtick is getting old.

I don't think u understand, one year is one year. Even if u come in 6 months later and your device is bend, doesn't power on any more, etc. my 4s wouldn't power on after 8months of using it, in the year it was released and apple gave me a new one after checking out. Apple has the best customer service in the buisnes by far, and yes they would still replace is phone after 6months if there is a fault with the hardware which bending would fall under that category for sure. The phone is not supposed to bend under normal use. Now I have had my 64gb 6+ since 10/16 no bending here. However Apple did replace my phone 2weeks ago because my phone was crashing in landscape orientation when streaming videos, and that's about it no bending. But I also take care of my device.

If people went entirely off this forum, they'd spend every day sitting in a corner coddling their phone with velvet gloves, running a stopwatch to check their battery life while simultaneously inspecting the entire phone with a microscope for scratches, obsessing over whether their screen was yellowing, and pixel-peeping every photograph they took at 1000% zoom to fret over soft edges from noise reduction. And using a micrometer every two minutes to see if their phone has inexplicably and spontaneously bent itself.

I did not compare the iphone 6 to other phones. Surf Monkey did, it is on him to provide a source for this. I just said the forces that causes the 6 to bend and provided sources for my statement. If unbox therapy is the source for this, then whatever, but I highly doubt it.

And just in general McDaddio, you have one of the worst attitudes I have ever met on a forum. You bring nothing to a conversation but a bad attitude and insults. So I am done talking with you.

I don't think the Spigen is a ugly case. And even if I think it was I would be respectful of other peoples choices they make in cases for there device. That's why we have so many deferent ones to chose from because we all dont like the same thing. If we did it would be a very boring world indeed. So there is no need to be disrespectful of someone else's choices they make in cases for there phones.

"Figure it out yourself, and also you are bad at critical thinking" does not answer the question I posed to you.

That's because you answered it yourself when you said all the owner does is post stuff he finds on Instagram. That isn't credible.

Others have already gone to that site and reported that they noticed quite a few of those phones were demo models, meaning people went to an Apple Store and bent the demos there on purpose.

As for what is credible? Not that site.

A phone actually having an issue like not powering on will of course get replaced anytime up to the full year. But bending iPhone is the same as a broken screen in my opinion
 
Surf Monkey doesn't know any more than we do about the bending issue. He's just making claims based solely on his beliefs and not actual fact.

For him to say it's not a design flaw or that it bends just as easily as other phones is just a guess as much as saying it is a design flaw and it bends more easily than other phones.

I don't care what he says because I know for a fact that my iPhone gets twisted every once in a while from just being in my FRONT pocket SOMETIMES. I even take it out of my pocket when I sit. How does a phone twist itself if it isn't happenig inside my pocket? Why am I able to twist it back? These iPhones (again in MY personal experience) are very fragile.

I don't even get to enjoy my iPhone 6 because I feel like I have to babysit it more than I use it.

Because I can't keep it in my pocket, I don't have it during times that I wish I did. Photo opportunity? Not happening, left it on my desk so it won't bend. Need to find some info on the net? Nope, it's not with me.

This thing is an $800 headache, not a phone.

If you feel that the phone is too fragile, my suggestion is to take it back and get a full refund. Purchase the phone that will work best for you with the cash.

Keeping it in your pocket isn't what causes it to "twist" or bend. In your pocket is a location, not a cause of bending. Going after me personally doesn't change the fact that this makes no sense:

"How did your phone get damaged?"

"It was in my pocket!"

How can a bend phone be the same as a broken screen? My 6years old daughter drop her iPod and crack the screen. But no bending just a crack screen. Here the thing you drop your phone crack the srceen this would not be surprising to anyone right? This happens all the time. Anytime I go to the Apple Store there is always some one there with a repair for crack screen. But a phone bending?? When I heard that Apple reported nine cases of this happening I was like what!!!! Are u kidding me. And Apple Tim Cook instructed that the phones be replaced for the customers under warranty, to who ever had this bending problem with there phones. And again they will replace a bend 6plus under warranty after 6months, that was Tim cook instructions.

You keep saying this, but I just don't get it.

How did your food get cooked?
It was in the oven!

Do we need to say that it was the heat of the oven that cooked the food, not just being in the oven? It should be pretty obvious.
