Yeah there's actually a pretty big disparity between what he said and what you inferred from it.
Got a tip for us?

You will never dedicate entire days to defending a company you have no affiliation with like Surf Monkey.
I'm defending a company? Nope. Just pointing out blatant absurdity.

Nope. Look at the thread where that exchange appeared. There's a little more to it than he chose to quote.
What the fact that his phone is bent? I would consider that an important testable fact! Even a blind person could do it. It might be impossible for some with a severe metal handicap too though.
Exactly! Because we all know that anonymous people reporting problems on an internet forum actually represents what is happening in the market. (rolls eyes).
There are also people on the internet who claimed they hurt their phones because they thought IOS 7 makes your iPhone waterproof and that Wave allows you to charge your phone in the microwave. We know that those posters on 4chan who claimed they did this and it hurt their phone were all legitimate.
It is the internet. You can't post things that are false.
Now please excuse me. I am an international model and I need to get back on the catwalk. I'll put my two iPhone 6+ in the front pockets of my tight jeans and report back if I see any bending.
mmm, ok, let's go in details then:
what I said:
Based on the context of that thread and the tone of this post, it appears clearly that my comment was that we could not say that most phones don't have the issue, that we can only say they haven't showed that issue YET, and that " Only the test of time will tell us if these phones bend more easily than they should."
I stand by that, sounds reasonable to me
Monkey said:
you say I literally said that there were only two kind of iPhone 6 Plus owners. Where did I literally say that, where?
"just haven't bent yet" is indeed very different than "haven't bent yet".
My statement is factual, the statement you put in my mouth is opinionated, VERY VERY different
You picked up the conversation mid stream and only included some of the posts. Why? Maybe you should just link to the thread if you're so confident.
How about remembering that this phone is NOT like previous iPhones and shouldn't be kept in your pockets at all due to the sheer size!?!?! YOUR fault, just so you know. Good day sir.
Not in the least. Simply suggesting that people look at the context. I stand by my original post as written.
are you just trying to confuse people? if I am not mistaken, you're the one that started misquoting me, and now that I correct you, you want me to... what exactly? quote the stuff I didn't say? you're losing me man..
I don't see what is not "normal" about checking to see if your iPhone is still okay, considering how this issue has been mentioned on CNN and other mainstream news outlets.
Seems the defend-iPhone-at-all-costs crowd is split into three camps:
1.) Denial. Bending doesn't happen. It was all done on purpose. Even a steel girder will bend with enough force.
2.) It happened, but only 9 times. Apple said so. They sold a brazilian of them and the more they sell, the less it happens.
3.) It can of course bend if you don't treat it like the expensive vase... err, "phone" that it is. This is not the iPhone you once knew: it's different and should be treated as such. Therefore, it is your fault if it bends.
Did I miss any?

I don't understand what point Surf Monkey is arguing for or why.
yeah.. poor guy, I feel bad now having publicly proved his dishonesty
The way you are interpreting it might be your issue.
The OP obviously means the 'victim of circumstance' which doesn't have such an abrasive meaning.
Now I'm not defending the OP, I personally don't care but come on, rape victim? How old are you?
OP you're so defensive. Nearly every post reply from you is jumping on the people who posted in your thread. Why start a thread if you expect everyone to patronize you?
Oh, I'm sure I'm the next one you'll attack.
I know I know, I apologize. I just saw that old dude do that the other day and thought I could pull it off too http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/09/19/article-2762212-217D339100000578-147_964x611.jpg
I don't understand what point Surf Monkey is arguing for or why.
... because mailbox is working hard to obfuscate it.
My point is that he wants his phone to be bent so he perceives it to be bent whether it is or not. Thus no evidence to support his claim. Thus his history of claiming to be a bend victim before his phone was bent. Thus his many posts calling for a class action lawsuit before his bend report. Thus his obsessive daily checking and re-checking of the phone.
In sum: I find his report to be lacking in credibility.
Really? If I see another bent iphone 6 I'm going to go insane. You clearly have the Internet, yet you need more photos?
so you stand by your literal quote? by refuse to post a link to it?
ok dude... haha
Yes I do. People clearly feel the need to create yet ANOTHER bend thread. They need to have pictures or a video starring them showing the issue. This IS the internet after all or do you believe everything you read on the web? I could tell you I'm the president of the united states for all you know.
