Intentionally destroy a car in crash test = Yes. people do it all the time to test durability
Videos and threads like these are getting annoying. Who is "purposely" going to bend their iPhones? What a joke.
Go find a Samsung phone and purposely bend that one.
have you even watched any of the bend videos??
All I'm getting from these bend videos is that other people have really ugly hands with weird backwards bendy thumbs.
I tell you guys what. I've got a nexus 5 and a note 3 here. Everyone pitch in 5 bux each to cover clover price for each phone and I'll prove to you they can also be bent
Nope. Never planned on watching this guy bend the iPhone either.
then why are you making a comment about it then?
It's like me BSing about Polish politics when I know nothing of the country.
That assumes he was being honest. The fact of the matter is that objective tests have shown that you need to apply 90lbs of force or more to break an iphone. Sitting on your phone for hours is not normal use.
This is incorrect. They have officially stated the phone does not bend under normal use.
People buy a car and crash it to "test" the durability. Sure. You go with that argument.
Watching the video proves one thing: a guy who wants to destroy his phone can.
Now, when you find a video of someone bending one while doing something NORMAL with it, do please let us know. Until then it's a non-story.
define "normal use"?
Should people do a blog and follow each other for 7 days to see if a phone bends?
Tons of people here and reported their phone bends and have endured ridicules. It's sad that a seletive small group just refuse to accept that iPhone bends way too easily
Like use it for calling people for one and taking care of your investment.
To those who are bending it deliberately:
I can understand people accidentally ending up with bent phones, but seriously, there is something wrong with those who buy a phone to break and youtube it. Even though it's your money, remember someone worked hard for a daily wage that is a fraction of that phone's cost to put it in your hands. Why disrespect that and for what? To prove that it bends albeit a little easily than before?
One way to stop this is to NOT click the YouTube link.
So does the door of a corvette if kicked, man do people need to stop believing bendable stuff is unbendable.
Because who the hell purposely bends their iphone? Give me a damn break. Did I hurt your feelings somewhere?

If you don't know what normal use is, go bend your phone on purpose. I'm going to "normally" bend my phone on purpose cause it's fun and I feel like wasting money.
Let me guess. You're a Samsung fanboy? There aren't tons of people reporting it. Go to the other thread and see the voting please before you assume tons of people. 9 people from the last time and only 1-2 of them are authentic. Go read the Consumer Reports on the the test they did besides the iPhones.
Guys, you would never believe it; out of boredom, I tested it and my panasonic KX-TGA653 bends. I would post a video of the full limit, but I think my wife would be mad at me for breaking our phone.
With the hits he got on the video he made a fortune. To be honest, it was a clever stunt for making money.
Also, I'm not sure you can consider an iPhone an investment, it will depreciate .
We know the phone bends if you make an effort in bending it. We know it gets warped in people's pocket and we have just 30 official documented cases of it in the entire 10 million iPhones sold
The only ones who want this to be more of a story than it already is
1. People who don't like Apple
2. People who couldn't upgrade for any reason
3. People who just want to troll
The people who did get their phone bent and didn't whine about it constantly are the only ones legitimately concerned and there are some who are legitimately concerned that their unbent phone will bend for whatever reason , the 3 people describe shoved feed off their concern and troll an entire community . There are those who say the phone does not bend at all but those are much less annoying than those who seem to base their argument that the 30 documented cases of phone bending means all phones and Will bend and thus there must be a recall because 30 phones bent. They are only in it for chaos and narcissism
