iPhone 6 Plus Bending Limits Tested in New Video

richardsonrs said:
I have loose pockets in all my pants. I could fit Multiple phones in there easily. My phone is slightly bent as of this morning at the volume button side. I keep it face in, in my pocket. I have had in there for about 8 hours of use. This is not good. Nobody has sat in my lap or anything weird or odd. Normal use. Daily moving around. One day. It's bent. Have literally kept every phone I have ever had for the last 9 years in these exact pockets and this is the only phone I have had bend on me. 6+

So of all the phones you have had in the past 9 years, how many were that big? How many were made that lightweight, out of that thin aluminium? Just curious?

Also check out the squaretrade test In case you are not sure who they are, they are a major 3rd party warranty company for electronic devices. Interesting info here.

This wouldn't have happened if Apple used Liquidmetal. :p

But seriously...that guy was using significant force. I think any large smartphone would have bent or cracked under that kind of pressure.

I'm stIll torn over which model to get. This "test" isn't going to sway me one way or the other.

Other phones were tried here > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znK652H6yQM.

This whole thing has made me put off getting a 6 for a year. I think I'll get the 6SS, for Structurally Sound.

Well I have had all the iPhones available. And other various sized phones. None of them this thin and that's kind of my point. The current obsession with thinness is really going to keep causing this sort of thing IMO.
 
this stupid Bendgate now on cnn, night line news, and local news stations

The apple haters are in full force over this non sensical bendgate fiasco. Thanks to macrumors and the liars about their iPhone 6+ bending this non-issue is now national news.im truly displeased with all you haters who spew fud and lies.

I love my i6+ but seems like most of those people who are spreading fud don't have one or can't and have to berate the iPhone. So sad.
 
Yep, it's all over the place. Media desperate for views/clicks. We'll see in 6 months whether it translates to the real world or if it's just more fake "hype."
 
Reading through your post history, you are literally the biggest fanboy of any electronic device ever released. Ever. Pathetic. Grow up.

Why because I love my apple products?! I paid for them and I enjoy using them. I'm sick of all the apple hate when it's just not justified. All the lies. I stuff my i6+ today in my jeans size 40 waist and drive to work about 12 miles and when I get in the office and take out my i6+ there is not even the slightest bend of any kind.
 
Should be a lesson to you why a billion dollar corporation needs to maintain high standards and great PR department.
 
I don't see why this bothers you all so much. Is it because your favorite wittle multi billion dollar corporation might get their feelings hurt? :(
 
Bendgate sounds so lame...why does everything have to be *gate?

Now Bendghazi! I can get behind that! :cool::p:D

No, because you are blind by your love. I appreciate my apple devices. I have several thousand dollars tied up in them.

You need to calm down.

I think you need to direct that advice to the apple haters. I don't own apple stock but I also own their products. There is nothing wrong with trying to right the wrong these news people need to stop escalating the non issue. This issue just doesn't happen in real life.
 
Apple will still sell tons of them. We will still proudly use them. I shall happily call mine the "Bendebola" phone if a Samsung user looks down his or her nose at me and asks "What is THAT?" All will be well and Tim Cook will let the Apple minions have Thanksgiving holiday off providing it doesn't interfere with sales.

Don't worry, Kim Kardashian will do something to distract the media any moment now.

Now what pray tell is a fud? Pardon a middle aged mom, but I'm not up to date on all the slang.
 
Went to best buy to check out the +. Was tempted to try and bend the display. Not that my girly hands could do much.

Aww, are you guys sharing an account? So sweet. Not sure why why more state don't support that.

So no iPhone 6 or 6+ has ever bent in "real life"?
