On: iPhone 6 Plus bending in pockets

[kubiiii]

Maybe the bending is a consequence of a better than average shock proof design. Not an apple fan boy here but I find hard to believe that a top selling phone would go on the market without extensive mechanical testing.

Funny, as I'm yet to meet an iPhone 4 that didn't have a smashed screen

[terhechte → easytiger]

Mine, I got it when it came out in 2010, used it every day since end of 2013 when I got the 5s. Screen is still in perfect condition, so is the back side.

That's mainly because of the magical super-slip coating on the glass back, isn't it? I swear my iPhone 4 used to slide off level surfaces.

Mine. Had it since launch. Not even a scratch on the screen either.

Which just goes to show, different people (ab)use their devices differently.

They could have done the analysis and determined that replacements would cost less than a harder shell for every phone.

Jesus Christ I'm sick of this "*gate" crap. Get a new gig, people.

Apple will no doubt acquire that youtube bend guy to bend all their products from now.
