Has the bending thing died down?

Whoever wrote the headphone/cable comment -- that was FUNNY.
I have a feeling the deal is that apple tested the bendability, decided that 70 lbs has strong enough, even though its less than other phones, and decided the thinness trade-off was worth the increased fragility.
My guess is also that they might begin to realize people want sturdiness over thinness and that the next version will be no thinner, and reinforced somehow to make it stronger.
The iPhone 5 was SUPER-THIN, anything more that involves a trade-off with battery or sturdiness and feels like some sort of weird in-house Apple dare that nobody else cares about.

Wait a couple years and I guarantee that the iPhone 5 will seem like a huge, thick slab in comparison to what's out by then.
What's wrong with the site are people like you. You make false claims all the time and run away to make more false claims.

Please provide a link to this where consumer report said this?
Agreed. If there is physical damage on the device, then no, it's not a warranty issue. However, a slight bend etc. should be with no questions asked.
So no? You don't have any cogent, articulable reasons?
Got it.
I might add, it should be manifestly obvious what's wrong with responding "Uhhh it's totally obvious, I'm not even gonna give a real response."

Where does it say the iPhone 6 plus permanently bends at 70 lbs, did you forget how to read or are you a troll?
I missed the plus part of the discussion for some reason, 70 is for the regular 6 not the plus which is listed at 90. Not really much difference when you consider the additional available leverage on the larger plus.
Someone actually interested in furthering conversation would point out the 70 vs 90 misattribution rather than act like an immature tw@t.
Duplicate reports, intentionally bent phones, no attempt at confirmation that the phones included are legitimate cases of normal use bends as opposed to accidents or out of the box defects...
I mean, I could go on, but how dense does a person need to be not to grasp how these things go directly to the credibility of the site?
I guess we should file you under those who "want to believe?"

In other words, it hit the mark. Thanks for the confirmation.

Aw geez, grow a sense of humor. My post provided the link to CR at your request with a lighthearted joke included.
The issue is the phone can purposefully be made to bend or can be accidentally bent with the correct pressure at the right point.
How does one tell the difference between "my defective phone bent" vs my "phone is defective because it bent in my front pocket?"
I agree that the credibility of the source should be questioned, but as long as there is not proof that all these phone are either photoshopped or intentionally bend on his site, I would give it some credibility. I would not call the site having "Zero credibility" but rather questionable evidence and motives.
If 1 of the 9 site had 4000 confirmed unintentional bend iPhones, those numbers alone would not be statistically significant with 30 millions + phones shipped. His numbers can be 100% credible, his motives 100% disingenuous and be 100% insignificant at the same time.

Can you read?
"The iPhone 6 Plus, the more robust of the new iPhones in our testing, started to deform when we reached 90 pounds of force, and came apart with 110 pounds of force. With those numbers, it slightly outperformed the HTC One (which is largely regarded as a sturdy, solid phone), as well as the smaller iPhone 6, yet underperformed some other smart phones."
You know...it helps to read the stuff your linking in support of your claim....that would be helpful and a start...LOL SMH

Some of those iPhones on that onlynine website or whatever its called, look completly destroyed, and some of them look so dam bent I dont even understand how that happens, some of them had even bent in the MIDDLE of the phone and not even by the volume rocker like wtf...? I bet alot of those were intentionally bent/or some extreme carelessness occured
It's just that you kept going around on multiple forum posts spamming the same BS
I believe you've mixed me up with someone else.
If you disagree, please cite the posts constituting "spamming the same BS": here's my history to make it easier for you.
Wow, my 4S and 5S never exhibited this issue nor any others I tried, maybe 20 all told between family and friends. Yes, I know, that's a really small sample size.
Wifi issues seem to crop up with every other major iOS update. I'm not sure why, but there's been issues periodically since iPhone OS 1( iOS 1). Apple replaced my first gen touch twice because of updates hurting wifi.
