Here's the thing with this whole bending "scandal".
1. You have the Apple fanboys who defend their product to the death. They all watch this stuff to try and find flaws with their device. Then you have the android fanboys that are constantly looking for flaws in apples products to help them feel validated in their android purchase. Both of these groups help fuel the fire so to speak.
2. Behind all this testing and media blitzing, there tends to be some grain of truth. Is there a weak spot in the phone? Yea, probably. Is it a widespread catastrophic issue? Probably not.
Bottom line is, take care of your phone. Does this whole bending issue have me concerned? Yea. Did it make me return my iPhone 6 plus? No.
I am being more careful than usual with it. I always take extreme care of my products. I never use a phone without a case or a screen protector. I am paying a bit more attention to how I use my phone and how I handle it.
I think that really all that anyone should take from this at this point is , if you bought a 6 plus , be mindful of it. You shouldn't expect it to be indestructible. If a few weeks/months down the road , we see a significant issue, I believe Apple would make amends. If not , then they would have a catastrophic issue on their hands.
For the record , I have owned an iPhone 3g, 3GS, 4, 5, and 6 plus. I own an iPad mini and a MacBook pro. I'm not an"troll" but I'm not an apple apologist either. I do like their products and customer service.
Pretty much this...
