Breaking news: metal bends.

Not that I have any interest in defending a product I would never own, but apparently reports of the iPhone 6 plus's bendability are somewhat exaggerated.

Why do people sit on their phones? I would never put a $500-1000 piece of electronics under my ass unless it was a $1000 robotic ass-cheek. How is that not universal logic?

Breaking your overpriced phone is a form of conspicuous consumption.

I actually asked the clerk at the phone store the other day if she's also noticed that iPhone users don't seem to use cases, thus they break their phones a lot. She told me she has seen that the whole time she's worked there.

So whilst you're probably joking a bit, I really do think it's a status thing. "Look at me, I have something very expensive that I can throw around like loose change. I can afford to replace it when it breaks."

Well if you put a case on it, people might mistake it for a Galaxy S4 or something, and we can't have that now can we?

iPhones are like hybrid cars. A lot of the people purchasing them want to make sure other people KNOW they have one.

The great hoodwink of the contract is such that most people probably have no concept of just how expensive these things are, nor does it feel to them that they had to shell out anything for it at all... (the phone's free, right? I'm just paying for the minutes and the jigabytes...)

could be worse, could give you a slight electric shock.

oh wait one of the last iphones did that.

The iPhone 3GS that I've had for five years has a plastic case. It's got a crack behind the earphone jack and a few scratches, but still chugs right along. I did replace the battery myself two years ago for $20. I should note, however, I do not now, nor have previously worn "skinny jeans." So that may have something to do with the device's longevity.

Correction, six years.

So this has been all over, and it probabaly is a bit under-engineered, but can't you just get a case for it?

If antenna-gate was pretty stupid, "bend-ghazi" is idiocy defined.

A phone made of a big, thin slab of aluminum is more easy to bend than,
1) a plastic phone
2) a smaller phone
3) a thicker phone
4) a phone with a curved back like HTC One for example

in fact if you stick in the back pocket of your tight jeans, and sit your fat ass down on a hard chair, chances are your iPhone 6 Plus is gonna get banana-shaped on you. Boo hoo.

So here's a tip: don't do that. Treat it like the small iPad it is, i.e. don't be stupid, and there is no problem.

I'm siding with Apple on this one. And I don't even use their damn products.

∵ CS≠C ∴ don't sit on your fucking phone.

Uri Geller explains why the iPhones are bending:

“There are two possible explanations,” Uri Geller, the psychic illusionist famous for bending spoons with his mind, told MarketWatch. “Either the phone is so seriously thin and flimsy that it is bendable with mere physical force, which I cannot believe given the extensive tests Apple would have done. Or — and this is far more plausible — somehow the energy and excitement of the 10 million people who purchased iPhones has awakened their mind powers and caused the phones to bend. ... I urge Apple to hire me to explain to the world that this is not the company’s fault at all,” he said. “I don’t own an iPhone 6 — I’m loyal to my BlackBerry and would never change — but if I did I have no doubt I could bend it with my mind.”

all cry babies with their phones should be forced to use my dad's old car phone.
