I can't wait for this to die down and go back to the default of arguing about RAM some more.
I never thought Ill welcome the RAM threads back!
Anything over this!!!!

i would like to know details of the accident, how it happened AND how it got into global news. Tech sites do not publish ONE news in a minute all over the globe just because of some broken unit. Someone made sure that the "news" would be feed to all news channels at same time.

100 pounds of force doesn't mean it was sat upon by a 100 pound person. Physics, people.
No you don't understand how neatly this plays out to people who aren't fans of Apple.
There are innumerable layers of why this is such a delicious criticism for people.
Its up there with a doomsday fulfillment story from the Bible itself.
Like we are gluttons for thinness and lightness and we are fancy and fruity and it finally came to bite us in the ass and we are not perfect and there are so many juicy jokes to make.
So nobody had to send it to anyone, it was a self sustaining cancer from the beginning. People who don't even keep up with Apple would want to revel about this.
Except sitting on something doesn't concentrate the entirety of your bodyweight on that point.
Unless your ass morphs in to something the size of a pinhead when sitting. Then yes. I have a sneaking suspicion that no one's ass does that though.
Mass plus speed of sitting down increase force
Note to self.. Do not put iPhone 6 Plus in back pocket then fall on my ass due to slipping on ice (not that there's ice where I live...). Got it.
Besides, why the hell would you put a $1000 phone in your BACK POCKET where thieves can EASILY steal it??
Seriously, bendgate might have actually lowered my IQ from reading the posts about it...
I'd wager that because in most jean pockets, the Plus is so big that it sticks out around where the volume buttons are and not the very middle of the phone. Perhaps it's safer to put the phone in your pocket upside down so that the volume buttons are completely past the lip of the pocket. Regardless, I think just the size and thinness of the phone itself will cause the phone to 'twist'/bend once any amount of pressure is applied. And since the casing is aluminum, it will stay bent.
Just cause you don't do it doesn't mean others don't. And no I wouldn't either.
Wonder if Honda would replace my car because I can't take a hammer to it?
Would Samesoon replace a Note 4 because I drove over it and cracked the screen? (ZOMG!!! The screen isn't CAR PROOF!!! It BREAKS!!!!!)
Houses burn when you light them on fire; pages in a book tear when you tear them; clothes rip with you rip them; metal bends when you bend it.

The pin point will be in the surface you sit on not your arse. If surface is hard.
he states its unlikely the iPhone will see 100lbs of force in the wild. Thats because he's 90lbs soaking wet. What about a 200lb user sitting on their iPhone? video test = epic fail

better testing facilities. Im sure apple has something similar

That's sad. An "apple loyalist"? Im not taking any sides. I'm saying the amount of anger and vitriol this phone generates is ridiculous. It's just a phone.lol I love it.
"lol bro why you crying over your bent phone? Jeez it's not like the end of the world, just deal with it and stop crying like a girl. God, I love Apple! All this bend-gate does is prove who's a true Apple loyalist and who is a crybaby who can't handle a bent phone. The bend means the phone is authentic."
if anything this proves that its a bad design

He should have not said that. It will see 100lb+ in the wild. Does he not know 68% of Americans are overweight?
Thin 6061 non-tempered aluminum, large surface area and small material cross section at the edge near the volume, mute and sim tray contribute to it's bendability.
