Kids are now bending iPhones in Apple Stores

Oh yes, lets make them famous, because I always think criminals should be recognized and correctly rewarded.

Vandalism for sure.

IDK, I feel like some 6 Plus's are sturdier and stronger then others though, in Unboxtherapy's first video of him bending the 6 Plus, it took a bit of force and prolonged period to get it bent, but the 2nd video he made on it it bended and broke alot easier then the 1st time
 
Smh ... Wow , the stupidest kids ... "Hey let's go the store and destroy merchandise record ourselfs doing it and post it on the Internet"

Vandalism. I agree, as their intent was to purposefully bend/damage the phones (as they so stupidly admit to in the video).

What's scary is that these kids seem to think this is acceptable behavior. Furthermore, they post it for the world to see. Either they're incredibly stupid, or so brazen that they just don't care.

Either way, Apple needs to act IMMEDIATELY. These kids need to know that there are consequences to their actions. The smile on the kids faces need to be slapped off.

Also, swift prosecution would send a signal to the public. This needs to be discouraged immediately. I can't even imagine how many more kids (or even adults) will try this at Apple Stores all over the world.
 
So where are the people defending apple saying they don't bend as easily because consumer report said so? Two little kids managed to bend several iphones.

So? You can easily ruin most phones just by smashing them on concrete or dumping them in water. Damaging it deliberately is not the same thing.

You see the amount of effort they put into the endeavor? Didn't look at that easy.

More importantly, these little punks should be charged with vandalism and be made to pay for everything they broke.
 
These 2 are just kids, however the entire thing surrounding this "bendgate" goes to shows that after 200.000 years of evolution we haven't really evolved that much. Utterly stupid people!!
 
Penalties in the UK for vandalism like this is a joke, especially if those kids are under 16. What is it? £50 on the spot fine? Lol... Break all the things!
 
Wasn't many blue shirt apple employees in that store.

Here they're in groups of 2-3 all over the store.
 
I relish the moment when we see the first story about Apple bringing the hammer down on anyone damaging store stock like this. Idiots like that need to spend the night in jail and be charged full price for the damaged goods.

This doesn't prove they bend easily. Stop promoting obvious nonsense.
 
If I did this when I was the age of these kids, I would have gotten the belt for sure, no questions asked.
 
Those are some stupid ass kids. And I love the mentality of some people.

*takes out iPhone and uses force to purposely bend device (b/c that's totally normal use of a phone)*

And then they're like "OMG, it's so bendable! Apple is doomed!!!"

I can go to an HTC One or LG G3, and with enough force, bend it. Guess that means those phones are bendable too. Seriously, ever since this "bending" gate crap was picked up by the media, people have lost their damn mind. You have people purposely bending their phones, you have people who've had a 5S for over a year now claiming that their phone is mysteriously bending. You probably even have people purposely bending their older model iPhones, just so Apple would give them a newer model. Hell you have these two idiot holes, purposely applying pressure to 800 dollar devices, just to bend them on purpose. And why? Just so they can become e-famous? UK, lock these d-bags up and throw away the key. I don't give a damn if they're 15, 25, or 75...you break the law, you suffer the consequences. Maybe then they'll learn to not **** with other people's stuff.
 
So basically the phones don't bend under normal circumstances unless you're The Hulk. Got it.

Sure would be nice to see the people who ran with these stories correct them with the actual facts like the CR demonstration. Tis what happens when blogs and hashtags take over the dissemination of information -- and what happens when kids think they're informed about anything.
