Everything could bend or break.The real question is will it blend?
Marketing.So why did Apple strengthen the 6S? For lols?
Even if it wasn't a real issue. Even if it was exaggerated on purpose by competitors, it has a (ridiculous) impact on public opinion.
So Apple addressed it.
You bent your phone. What's your point ?Maybe bending wasn't an issue for some one you but it surely was for me. My 6+ was definitely bent. I went to the Apple Store to get a replacement for an unrelated issue and they wouldn't because it was bent, go figure.. So how was it not an issue?
