It's bent! 6 plus

Sadly, this is the way this forum has become. Whenever something happens to an Apple device, they always assume it's the fault of the user. God forbid the blame goes to their beloved Apple.
I have not bent my iPhone 6+. I love the thing, but I don't assume that EVERY person who have a bent phone is at fault. The accusational tone really ruins this forum for everyone.

Exactly. When the 4 came out and you lost service by holding it, ppl in this forum blamed us for holding it wrong. When the 5 came out and had scratches on it, the users were blamed for it...even though they had scratches/chips right out of the box. Why do you think Apple fans are called iSheep? LOL.
I seriously wonder whether some of the ppl on here would leave a horse's head in a bed (or worse), if "Tim" or "Jonny" whispered the suggestion in their ear...
This is a vey good question. And there would be no need for: "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse".
i was able to get mine replaced today for free. not sure how mine got bent.
I am - big and skinny - something's gotta give - they'll make it a bit stiffer next round and not say a thing about it - that's Apple
I only lost service when I was already in a low service area, which happened with any other phone when I blocked the antenna. In a normal/high service area, the iPhone 4 wouldn't lose signal no matter how I held it.
except tests have showed that it lost atleast 10 db compared to other phones even in high signal areas.
It was a design flaw the fault of Steve Jobs.
Well it never really effected me. Maybe I was just in such a strong signal area most of the time so it didn't bother me?
I didn't have much of an issue either but my father hated it and had a lot of dropped calls. I used my phone more for data then calls. But fact is the phone was not as good as it should of been, hence why apple fixed the antenna as soon as the verizon iPhone 4 in January of 2011.
Mine's definitely bent a bit, right by the volume rockers. Kinda lame, but whatever. I'll just put it in an otterbox.
I really hope Apple sees the error of their ways, ups the quality of aluminum used and concedes that if thin is the goal that design becomes more critical to maintain rigidity and strength.
Upcoming iPhone 6s case is thicker and lighter although there's no bend issue.
You're all getting warranty replacements and a free cup of Starbucks - courtesy of Apple.
Applause for justice, please.
