You mean, I buy a $700.00 phone & it bends inside my pocket & it's my fault!? Where's the disclaimer on that? Furthermore, if this is your answer to those that spend their hard earned money on a very expensive product, then Apple should be glad that your not their spokes person because you would have them in a PR nightmare! (Smh!)
It is immoral to let a sucker keep his money. - Canada Bill Jones
I love it when people like you get all huffy puffy about their 'hard earned money' when it comes to products that they don't need, really shouldn't be buying, and very much don't understand. Come on BooneBoy, it's common sense that a massive phone that costs 950 dollars, made out of 'elegantly crafted aluminum' and is marketed as a 'feat of engineering' 'classy' 'personal', and not 'rugged' 'toughest' or 'strongest' is probably a device that isn't A) meant for everyone, B) should be taken care of, and C) is to be appreciated for it's design, not its durability. It's people like you who don't know how to spend your money in the first place that make such a big deal about over comitting financially to an expense you don't need, appreciate, or can justify. Then you get angry when something this thin and this pristine breaks because it's not like your 'casio' watch that was 99 cents at Kmart that lasted 20 years (for sure you're still pulling it off though I'm sure!)
Gold is one of the most maliable metals in the world, you can scratch, chip, warp it with your teeth. But people who buy expensive gold jewelry understand that- people who buy rolex's understand that they might not have a calculator on them, or give you the altitude, but that their expensive watch, which will be far more expensive to repair, is about its design, engineering, beauty.
You need to stick with buying things you can appreciate. Your comment alone shows that your philosophy is that you appreciate cost more than pretty much anything else. You're a budget spender so buy a cool budget phone. Since the ipod video Apple has been putting chrome on the back of their devices. Chrome gets scratched to shut, it's an 'aesthetics and design' choice. You don't buy products because you appreciate 'aesthetics and design' you buy products that you want to equal how you value your 'hard earned money'. Some people see the inherent worth in an object that is superiorly crafted with 'aesthetics and design' in mind. These people buy bmws, nice watches, and expensive jewelry, and they take care of those things, because they appreciate them. They understood what they bought to begin with. It's people who impulse buy and do not think about the long term investment that have a 'really nice Mercedes' for a couple years until the maintenance costs start to roll around, then they can't afford it and it gets run down and falls apart.
Let's be honest- it is 7mm thick- did anyone here truly honestly believe this 5.5 inch device made of aluminum 'might not' bend???
I've sat on mine in my back pocket getting into my car and knew right away I needed to adapt how I used this thing.
I carefully put it in my pocket (front) and have had it since release.
I take care of my 950 dollar phone, because it's not a 99 dollar flip phone that will last 10 years even if you threw it down an elevator shaft- it's an apple product. I knew what I was buying before I bought it.
Guess what, my phone hasn't bent.
Just admit it, you sat on it, and you don't want to admit you're wrong in the first place because you spent your money on a product you werent prepared to own.
These phones aren't magically bending in pockets. I can guarantee you that. Maybe it's human nature to exaggerate the truth when it's convenient for us to do so? Nahhh that never happens.
