Same reason people tend to leave negative reviews on products than positive ones. When they have a negative experience, they want the world to know it. If it's good, most of the time they stay quiet and enjoy it.
Yep. Which is why it's also looking falsely as if everyone who got an iPhone 6 is having bending issues, dead pixels and other problems... it's rare for anyone to post that everything is fine and working as intended - usually, posting about a product is because there's a problem.
It was similar with the iPhone 4 and Antennagate

I don't doubt the existence of paid shills (we've seen that Samsung actually does this), but I tend to take an innocent until proven guilty approach. Generally a person's first post on a tech forum is going to be when they have an issue. Up until then they may be content to lurk, or not even care to visit this kind of forum at all.
There have been some reports from long-time users, but not many. Not many reports in general so far really. It just gets more attention when there's a report because... well it should be obvious why; People are concerned about their expensive new devices.

Because it's impossible that infallible apple could produce a phone with a design flaw. It's much more likely that reports are coming from shills.
Their god is being insulted and as the gods loyal servants it pains them greatly to see such blasphemy. So it says in the Holy Apple Bible that blasphemers must be ridiculed and insulted, even rejected from a site if they question the greatness of the one true god.
I'll post a bending story for 30 pieces of silver. If any Samsung reps are on here just PM me for my details.
Because, as well know, it's best to go to a 3rd party forum and voice your concerns about a bent iPhone, instead of going straight to Apple first.
Why do people always whine about people who always whine about people with supposed bent phones?
Never ending cycle.
how come none of these guys have a video of these bent phones with a logical explanation of what happened?
Any photo can be photoshopped easily.

Having a recent join date when venting about an issue is quite normal, I only ever actually joined this forum when I needed to ask a question even though I'd been a lurker for years.
What I do find particularly strange about this is that no one seems to know how their phone bent.
With the exception of the now infamous videos showing purposeful bending, nearly all other bent phones I've read about seem to have no explanation other than "normal use"
Now I'm not suggesting that these folks do actually know, but I find it quite surprising that we're not reading reports of "I walked into a table" "I dropped it" I sat on it" etc etc.
I would think that if these phones are bending just by being put in peoples pockets then they must also be bending when people bash them/sit on them etc
but I'm not seeing those reports.
I thought that this was maybe because people who know that they've been a klutz and dropped/bashed/sat on their phones just keep quiet, but that doesn't hold water when you see how many people post about dropping their phones and smashing the screens.
