Aluminum bends, don't sit on thin aluminum.
Better yet, don't make phones that will bend where they are normally stored......like peoples' pockets.

It's not impossible. My coworker even bent his iPhone 4. Perhaps that was due to being run over by a tractor, though. It still works fine, by the way.
Sorry guys, but putting a phone in your pocket is a reasonable use-case. If it subsequently bends, the solution is not to buy a case, put it in a splint or pad it in foam - it is to make it stronger

I don't care about having the world's thinnest phone. It seems that Apple believes that that feature is, or should be a big selling point. I don't agree. When the design starts to impede the day to day usability of a product, it is time to reassess the direction of the product development and design department, in my opinion.
I would rather have a phone with the same thickness as the iPhone 5, that also has the newer features of the iPhone 6.
I've done it for 4 years in a row without problems.
I can easily see my self forgetting to take my phone out of my pocket before sitting down in my car
The problem is that bending a phone could damage the structural integrity of the battery. A battery which is damaged, becomes pierced or otherwise disfigured can lead to serious problems, as it could lead to combustion of the battery or a dangerous chemical leak.
A credit card is actually designed to be quite flexible, unlike the delicate interiors of a phone. A battery contains chemicals which are poisonous to humans, and therefore a structure which contains such chemicals should be contained in such a way as not be damaged easily. Anyone who designs a phone and doesn't anticipate that people will carry it in their pockets is simply, well stupid.
I'm sure the other drivers around you would have problems should your phone ring and you decide to try to fish it out of your pocket on the road. Take the phone out of your pocket while driving. That's a safety third issue you're describing.
Will there ever be iPhone released without any issue? I think the last iPhone with no issue was iPhone 3GS (..or atleast i don't recall any issue with it)
Does anyone have any idea of Samsung note (any version) bending ?
Ive needs to back off on his thinness obsession and get some common sense and bigger batteries.
Ha! I figured someone snagged that. Well done Captain!
But seriously, who puts that massive phone in their pocket for that period of time and expects anything less?
They should return to stainless steel like the 4/4S (and upcoming Apple Watch).
10 million sold. 3-4 bent.
I'm in agreement with those who believe that the iPhone should be able to be carried in a pocket. I'm a woman and carry mine in a purse, but I think it is unreasonable to expect men to buy special pants or use a man purse.
apple should just go back to ****** plastic.
