Of course not, but careless for sure.
Occasionally I keep phones on the back pockets but remove them when I sit down. Would be uncomfortable if I sat on a phone, particularly on a big phone.
Got a tip for us?

It's so sad how you always victimize yourself and how wrong you are about a phone that bends. How about you stop quoting me since you really have nothing to add and your rebuttals keep getting worse and worse.

If you read a few pages back I have a 6 with AppleCare. I still chose to get this phone knowing there's a flaw.
The thing is, I can admit there's a flaw and luckily nothing has happened to my phone. But the minute I (or you) pull it out of your pocket and its unknowingly bent...that's the only time we'll be like"dang, I can't believe it happened to me" just like the OP of this thread did.
Is it truly a "flaw," though?
Smartphones are expensive pieces of technology. These new iPhones are very thin, very lightweight, and made of metal. Apple quality tested these for HOURS before they sold them to the public. Were they aware that they could bend in some situations? I'd imagine they were. Then again, I concluded as much myself just by taking a look at the phones. They're also beautifully designed.
So, Apple concluded that a high percentage of users would put their phones into rigid cases. And a high percentage of users who did not opt for rigid cases would be mindful not to damage their phones. Which seems to be what's happening so far.
Trade offs. It's all about trade offs.
Are you serious? A phone that bends in people's pants (I don't care if they're skinny jeans) is definitely a design flaw.

It's not a Flaw, humans wearing Pants is a flaw and the audacity to carry objects in ther front prockets which they have been doing for centuries!! Oh my!!

Nah, I don't feel victimized. I like how you think that though. Looking at your post history you attack people here left, right and sideways though. I see you get quite frustrated at people because their points are valid and yours aren't. It's just about your insecurities due to your own ignorance on the subject matter. Do some homework to help yourself rather than trying to be right because you've been wrong every time. Thanks.

This is an excellent post, but I don't waste your breath trying to post a reasonable argument. You're way far above of his comprehension.
True enough, but the "average consumer" is accustomed to carrying their phones in their pockets. It also seems to be established that the iPhone 5 series was more likely to bend than the 4 series, and the 6 series (according to consumer reports) bends sooner than the 5 series.
So you have "resistance to deformation" declining year over year on the iPhone, while the customer just wants to not have to wear a fanny pack or holster when out and about with their mobile device. I'm not saying who's right or wrong here, but Apple's image will tarnish over time if people view their devices as "flimsy" and that may lead to decreased sales down the road.
That is a possibility. It's not a huge issue for me because with the move toward larger phones, me (as a short girl) keeping one of these babies in a pocket long enough to bend it is not gonna happen.
I'd rather they keep them lightweight than make them heavier. The "make it sturdier so I can toss it in my pocket" contingent can choose from a variety of rigid cases that will allow them to be pocketed without bending.

If a lightweight, very long and thin phone is crammed into a hipster's skinny jeans, it WILL damage either the phone or his manhood. They do still teach physics in school, but it seems like people are not taking it.
My husband has been keeping his 6 in his front pockets (regular jeans and khakis) since launch. It remains unbent. Of course, he put it in a rigid case because...expensive... and he likes putting his phones in his pockets.

Yeah. If her screen popped off with normal use, that unit is defective. I'd return it for a replacement.
It's not a design flaw, the flaw is the blind faith in Apple users. I have zero sympathy for anyone with a bent iPhone.
I don't see how apple could make a phone half the strength of previous phones by mistake. The iPhone scored at the bottom on a rigged Consumer reports test, and yet people still have faith in the phone.
Apple designed the phone the way the did because they knew they would get away with it. Look how ballsy the Glass iphone 4 was, at least that one was easy to fix. Then the iPhone 5 which would bent in back pockets with lots of force. What does apple do with the 6? Literally double down with half the strength.
I love my macbook air, but the day that its not safe to be carried in my backpack is the day I stop buying them. Yet people here will say, you have carry them by hand!!!
is it true that apple is no longer replacing bent iphones? even with applecare+ been seeing some posts on twitter.
agree...anyone that sits on a 7,1mm piece made of glass and aluminium has to have some kind of design flaw in the brain.
I don't understand why there was no big stink over the HTC One (M8). According to consumer reports it bends easier than the iPhone 6 Plus and as easy as the iPhone 6. There wasn't a peep about that and there still isn't. Could it be Apple hate because it's so successful?
Let's face it, a metal case when flexed will not pop back, either HTC or Iphone. A plastic case when flexed will pop back. Even if the plastic phones have a metal band, the band will not pop back.
Htc and iPhones are the most luxurious looking and feeling phones. It's because of the metal, but it comes at a price.

I thought the opposite. Attitude of a clown of you ask me.
a clown is much better than a personality lacking robot.
