Android junk is android junk. My i6+ doesn't bend like the OP all this nonsense is just FUD; each new release year for apple is the same; a bunch of people whining and complaining about non-issues and trying to drive up some hate.
Stop the FUD, enjoy your device or return it and buy an android doo-doo device. No one cares because apple products are superior and the only reason this has become a topic to discuss is because many of you fake the issue when there is non to begin with.
Move on and move past the hate
AntennaGate = you don't know how to hold your device properly.
BentGate = you don't know how to carry your device properly.
Yeah everyone's complaining bout non-issues like antennagate (iPhone4) and scuffgate (iPhone5). I don't think the One (M8) is junk. Its build quality is awesome, almost on par with the iPhone6.
I hope you are right, but I don't know why people would just decide to destroy their phones to create an issue.
Has anyone thought maybe the guy bent his phone a little before the bend test. I mean I'm sorry but casual pocket use cannot bend it that much. How many people are claiming there phones are bent?
Really, 36 pages of comments?

Come on folks, let's stop shoving the phablets in our back pocket and skinny jean front pockets and you will probably be fine. I am able to put my iP6+ in my normal jeans front pocket without damaging my new phone within 4 days of owning it. This bent phone thing is not new and not limited to the iP6+. It has been going on for some time now due to people's inability to take care of their devices. I am able to put my iPad rMini into my front pocket of some of my shorts.....maybe I should sit down with it and see if it bends???..... Really! Take some ownership for ***** up your devices.

I really hate when people do this. Why would I put a TABLET in my pocket? The iPhone 6 plus is a PHONE.
and of those 6 we can't even confirm any of them are real. Apple haters come out rolling like a snow ball now.
I'm just guessing here but that video could of been doctored; special effects is so prominent these days in films and it has trickled down to youtube producers as well now. I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a hoax trying to get people to notice how bad apple iPhone is when in reality it's the best phone ever.
Could be some samsung paid trolls around here too!
Not only the money, but also their time! They only update their phone once per year, should give them enough time to have some proper durability tests
Yes a big phone, and maybe too big to be putting into some pockets people are trying to put them in. If it is too big for you and can't be carried the way you want to, switch to the smaller model. In the end though my point remains the same, it isn't new and people need to take responsibility for their own stupid decisions.
I'ved owned 3 iPhones, 4 iPads and an iPod touch and have never damaged them I the way some of these people do on these forums or else where on the Internet. Otis your device and your money so do what you will to it but stop complaining about it when you f@&$ them up because you are careless.
Why is no one mentioning the possibility this could also be an issue with the 6? The video didn't even suggest it. Just made it sound like it was a 6+ problem. The 6 is a big phone of the same thickness and material. Has anyone tested it? Considering switching from 6 to 6+. Would be somewhat interested to know if the 6 seems more durable. Also because I need to decide on AppleCare+ in the next 56 days or so.
had my 6+ in my pocket all day , Standing and sitting.... Flat as a board. so I'm thinking this might have come out of the box bent.
lol at these conspiracy theories, I mean I love apple too, but you don't have to be delusional about it.
