Tech blogs are the only place you find people who give a **** about "___-gates".
Tech blogs are also the only place most likely to report on little insignificant things like rumored tougher iPhone parts.
So if Apple has to do this to make these blogs shut up, all the more power to Apple.
My 6 has a bend at the volume buttons. I have owned every iphone and they are still all in good condition apart from my 6 that has the bend.
Oh it existed alright, my iPhone 6 bent when I forcibly tried to bend it!
Shame on Apple.
*ding* *ding*
But is it thinner? it's the only thing that matters.
Odd, my 6 bent within two weeks of owning it and they replaced it on the spot.
It did actually, just on a much smaller scale than the media blew it up to be. As I stated above, my 6 bent within a couple of weeks and I baby my phones. I took it into the Apple store, they verified that it caused touch screen issues and replaced it on the spot. The Genius Bar rep that helped me was fully aware that it was an issue.
For all we know they're using the same aluminum as is used on the Watch. It's not unusual for R&D from one product to find its way into other products.
Looks like the aluminium from the Apple Watch Sport (there was already a rumor about this).A different manufacturing method or a different material was definitely used.
Look at the iPhone 6 (Plus) on the right with the "milling marks" left behind compared to the left where it has a smooth, continuous flow process
The odds of winning the lottery are better…..
Really? This seems very un apple like.
But bendgate was trumped up and changing aspects of the design from one release to the next is normal.
Careful xXFIREWIREXx, you're risking upsetting the cultists. In their minds there is no application for common sense.

Apple hasn't done anything to address the bendgate saga. This wasn't real and the numbers show that.
Absolutely. The genius told me that it was propaganda and that I just have bent it myself somehow using excessive force.
My only wish is for them to figure out a way to get rid of that ugly plastic lines on the back without the phone having radio signal issues..
Naw....the haters/paid shills, etc.... will still drum up the same fake arguments.
Hopefully it will come with 2GB. I don't upgrade my phone all that often so would like it at least a little future proofed. (I'm still on the 4 )
)I just want the thing to sit flat on a table, and not wobble about it's protruding camera...
Yup - that would be the iPhone I would upgrade to.
Until then, I'll stick with my 5S.. a great phone.
My god you people need to get your heads out of the sand. They wouldn't spend time and money fixing a non issue to placate a few people. It was an issue and they know it. They are fixing it this time around. Does Apple send you instructions on how to love your daily lives? Just curious.
