Sure, but your request was "Can you name one? Even ONE?"

sue him for what? bending an iPhone?
I can see it now.
Judge - so young man you faked bending an iPhone?
man - would like to enter exhibit A your honour. The prosecutors iPhone.
proceeds to bend it easily
judge - case thrown out
what is it you want to sue him for? fake bending an iPhone? I think you'll find he can bend them.
You have no idea what a class action lawsuit is? He gets sued for mental anguish, time spent, misinformation, and whatever else a lawyer can think of. Subway had to change and pay money because they removed 25% of their sandwiches. When you go online and make claims about a product and it cause this type of ruckus then you are liable. This is America
The bend guy's an F-wad, but please. No more dumbazzzz lawsuits about trivial BS are needed in this country.
who's mental anguish? yours for not believing he can bend an iPhone? misinformation? its there in front of your eyes. he bends iPhones. come on. next you'll be suing uri gella over cutlery. or are you suing apple?
"mental anguish"...over a freaking YouTube video of a cell phone?
You can't just sue anyone for anything you want. You have to have standing, first of all, i.e., you have to have been personally and directly affected. Could Apple find some reason to sue him? I'm sure their lawyers could think of something. Highly doubtful they would and even more doubtful the case would go anywhere.
not when you hit the weak spot as human hands are capable of. Something machines don't or can't account for as they have no tactile feedback.
maybe I started my sentence incorrectly. I finished it correctly. Its easy/easier when you know the weak spot. Clearer
If you tried to sue Bendguy, the case would be tossed quicker than a hot potato.
You have no ability to prove damages caused to you buy his video being fake. Further, he did not sell you anything at any point in time, his video is not directed at you personally, and he didn't bend your device. Thus you have no standing to even file suit.

Even then it's not easy and guess what? If you're intentionally trying to break your phone? You're doing it wrong. End of story.
Then don't hit the weak spot. Anyone who wants to purposely bend a smartphone, regardless of brand, can do it. What's next in this parade of stupidity? "I purposely ran over my iPhone with a car and it didn't survive, therefore it is defective"?
I'm sure thats what apple said in testing
or they totally missed it by using complicated machines and not a monkey (mans hands)

The point is, taking a phone between your two hands and forcibly pressing on it until it bends is not "standard operating procedure" for a phone. Its not Apple's job to test for stupidity.

Because they didn't test the phone in peoples' hands.
Stop selling that nonsense here. No one is buying it. The bottom line remains the same. Trying to destroy the phone doesn't count.
If someone makes a fake video claiming to be a smartphone professional that a phone bends easily and causes people to return them then he can be held liable. The same exact scenario plays out all over the world. When Skechers said their weird shape shoes would help get you into shape was sued, people jumped on who never used the shoes. There are journalistic laws to prevent this type of stuff. Major news outlets play his video so that they don't have to be lumped into it. They know the consequences. If I guy can break into a house and sue the owner for leaving toys on the ground causing him to hurt himself and when then anything is possible.
no theyre not. They're just on the internet. Thats what its like.
Oddly enough, lots of people are kind of freaking out, mainly due to the rediculous statements of others who insist that iPhones are "easily bendable" and claim that "Apple didn't test them correctly." Wonder who's doing that??

Its was on every major website, news site, blog, forum, and radio show. It was even on sites that aren't affiliated with tech.
