My 6+ bent and it didn't do it itself!!!

Like I posted, a typical male has more strength in one hand than 90 lbs of pressure.
You sure are defensive for someone that joined to insinuate people must be doing something more to bend their phones.
And you sure are sarcastic, I'd love to see someone's pocket exhort 90lbs of pressure on there phone
Obviously I can read english better than you as the whole point of his post is that it takes a lot of pressure to bend the phone and is clearly implying it takes something like this to bend the phones when it proves nothing just hitting it with a sledgehammer would not. Who doesn't understand english? Obviously you as you obviously missed this part which starts with "Basically what I am trying to say" .
Neither him nor you know if there are defective phones out there and if so there is reason to blame the product......whether you or he like it or not.
You know nothing about physics do you? Pants putting pressure on a phone while sitting down can put even more pressure on it, depending on the persons size, pants tightness, etc .
The whole point of a possible defect seems to elude you though. There are possibly phones with defects out there that would require a lot less force to bend them.
Shouldn't you and the poster above be pointing your prayer rugs toward cupertino, ca about now?
Then again I think this is just another case of a fanboy that is ******** at the idea of a mega rich corperation not being perfect.

No, it's quite believable here. The attitude when anyone presents an issue with an Apple product is 'it must be the user, Apple is perfect'.
It's not "good as new". Bending back your 6+ has weakened the structure. It may have taken at least 90 lbs of force to bend it in the first place; however, now that the metal has fatigued somewhat (depends on how far you bent it) it now will take less force to bend it again. Maybe 50 lbs, 30 lbs, 75 lbs, etc.; again it all depends on how far you bent it the first time.
So now you have to be extra careful as long as you own the phone. If you bend it a second time, it may crack at the weak point near the volume switch.

And you know there are defective phones? I have not once said the phones are or aren't defective I have simply said people need to take responsibility for their own actions instead trying to pass on the blame! Also as previously stated i am not a fanboy, I have used androids such as HTCs and Samsungs for the past few years! And as for the mega rich corporation not being perfect I couldn't really give a toss either way, I use this phone as I like it and a little bit of bending here or there really doesn't phase me! There is much more important stuff going on in a life than a phone

I get it, but calling people liars:
In defense of the possibility that a mega rich corporation could have made some defective phones is to me unbelievable, but nonetheless exists.

Do you have reading problems? I clearly said the possibility of defective phones and YOU QUOTED IT.
Jeez. I have made it clear (go back and read the posts) that I am giving the benefit of the doubt that it's possible.
You on the other hand came here calling them liars:
That is NOT giving them the benefit of the doubt, in fact it's blaming them.
I use and love apple products, but I do NOT worship them in any way. They are not a god, they are not a family member, they only care about my money. On the other hand I WILL give the consumers the benefit of the doubt and I will NOT go on forums insinuating they are lying in defense of a corporation that exists to make money.
Bessos,
Is there any way at all the phone was bent BEFORE you had the accident and you just didnt notice it?
To me it seems almost unbelievable that it was not bent before this happened. This is the first documented case where an iphone was bent under accidental traumatic force. What are the odds, really? Do you have a magical iphone?
Maybe you're just an Apple fanboy and you don't want to admit it bent under normal use or by itself. If that's the case, you are a pathetic individual. You should man-up and apologize immediately.
The whole point of the thread was to state the phone doesnt bend on its own people need to take responsiblity but again you cant read english properly
Yeah it just bent, I just look at it and it bends! In fact it's bending as I type this now :0
No the phone was not bent prior to it getting squashed by my knee as soon as I picked it up it was visibly bent! Just like I would expect any thin piece of aluminium to be
You apparently can't read english at all, again he said "they need to stop blaming the phone". That's calling those that believe there is a defect liars. Adios, no more seeing your posts.

You said they need to stop blaming the phone, that's saying there is nothing wrong/defective with it so that's calling them liars.
You too, adios.

Sorry how exactly is that calling someone a liar? Why can't you get it in your head that it won't just bend itself? I could understand your point about defective phones if Apple had stated in the specifications it could take 'x' amount of pressure before bending however they have never given this figure so it's just in your head that it isn't strong enough! If the 6+ doesn't meet your needs of strength/durability then It is apparent that it is not the right phone for you.

He cant understand english properly and the point of your post, its useless arguing with a little boy
Nope nothing

Yeah almost like crashing it into a tree due to ones own negligence and then blaming the car for a defect! As previously stated if Apple had said it could take 'x' amount of force being applied before damage being present then yes there would be a defect. However no such figure has ever been promised or mentioned.
People are just annoyed as the expect the phone to be much stronger and there own negligence towards the phone is causing the damage! It won't bend itself as said God knows how many times already.
