iPhone 6 Plus Bending?

I love apple products and my iPhone 6+ hasn't bent so far. I'm sorry but it seems to be the people with the levels and points who obviously spend a lot of time on here (nothing wrong with that) giving the stupidest replies and defending Apple. Yes all phones are known to of bent in the past due to the size and build of the phone but are you really telling people they're wrong? There are 100s of photos on the internet and all over twitter of peoples phones bending in their pocket. A phone belongs in a pocket, people don't walk round with it in their hand all day so stop being aggressive to people explaining their story. All these images surfacing clearly aren't people purposely bending their phone. Stop being so ignorant because you have a 'status' on here. Just don't reply if you're going to give stupid answers.

Please read & pay attention to what actually is written, not what you "think" is written.

Yes, I am telling them there is no law that says a bent iPhone must be replaced by Apple.

I never wrote, suggested or hinted that iPhones fdo not get bent.

Nothing I just said, had anything to do about the law of replacing the phone even though there is a 6 year consumer law about a product meeting requirements. I'm saying stop telling people that they're bending the phones themselves. Why act ignorant because you post on here a lot? I'm more than happy with my iPhone 6+ so far and even I can see what people are saying.

But Marchall (who I posted to) did.

You mean it meets the requirements it is designed for.

iPhone 6 meets requirements it was designed for

It is a phone, not a chair.

I'm saying stop telling people that they're bending the phones themselves.

Don't believe I wrote this but how are these phones getting bent if not by the user?

The phone is bending in front pockets. If you put a phone in your front pocket and sit down for an hour or two, it shouldn't bend. How are you so blind sighted you can't see that?

I'm with you Nate, the Otterbox Defender is the best case on the market (that I know of) and my 4s is still in "like new" condition after almost three years. Having read of these problems I would never consider either the 6 or 6 Plus without one, the only problem is that the Defender case for the 6 Plus isn't out just yet but the one for the regular 6 is.

Why shouldn't it?

What standard are you using to measure/judge this?

Where do you see it stated anywhere that it should not bend if you put it in your pocket and sit down (applying pressure to the iPhone that bends it)?

Or even that it is "acceptable practice" to put it in your front pocket and sit down?

It's pointless even trying to prove a point to you. You're besotted.

So you turn to insults because you cannot prove your baseless point?

Show me anything that the states iPhone is designed to be used in your front pocket while sitting down for a few hours...

The only point is that the iPhone is a phone. It is not a chair.

Do you even understand what besotted means? It's not an insult. An iPhone should clearly be designed to be in a front pocket for a few hours because it should pass standard tests of daily use. For the price you pay for it, it should work like any other phone and be able to sit in your pocket for a few hours while sitting down. If it's in your front pocket, how does that make it a chair? Do you carry your phone on your head all day or something? Cmon.

"Should be designed" (your opinion) and "is designed" do not have the same meaning. Maybe it's your

inerpretation (not a native english speaker?).

Why would you suggest it should clearly be designed this way?

I don't think it should be designed to put into your pocket and sit down for any amount of time. Also, it would get pretty uncomfortable after a while.

Do you carry your phone on your head all day or something?.

If I am sitting, I put it on the table/desk next to me. This way I have ready access if/when I need it.

Why would you keep it in your front pants pocket where it is difficult to get out without standing and disrupting what you are doing?

Also, it is not meant to be put into the front pants pocket while sitting. Common sense tells everyone it could easily get bent. Check out th evideos on youtube showing this.

I wear BDU pants for work daily, they have big pockets and so far so good for me.

I do agree that a phone in a standard or larger pocket pants should not bend. Your thigh generally provides a flat squishy(for lack of a better word) surface which should accommodate the phone semi protected. I understand girls putting them in their tight rear pockets or people who wear skinny jeans and bending over causing more than a slight pressure causing a bend but this is silly. I don't like worrying about my phone breaking/bending. I have had every iPhone since 3 and never once did i have to think of this. I understand that with the larger back it spans more with less middle strength but still the phone should have been beta tested with a focus group of people with different types of attire.

On a side note, at work we use iPhone 5/5s and i had a broken phone and i attempted a bend test on it and while it took a lot of might i was able to bend it, aluminum bends unlike plastic phones which have more give and flex. **** i did it again on a bad iPad we had in storage and i was able to bend that fairly easier than the iPhone 5 due to the larger back plate.

I think that BDU pants in the lower thigh pocket should not be a problem.

In the top pocket (like regualr pants), it could be a problem.

I find it amazing the the comment was made in this thread that the iphone 6 plus was not made to be sat upon. What else do you do with your phone when not in use (you put it in your pocket and it's excepted to be fine in there - under normal conditions) However, I find very concerning that an iphone is no longer meant to be stored in your pocket. I think I'll choose a different phone that holds up in my pocket when I sit down.

Yes, I would say just about every guy puts his phone in his front or back pocket and has done so since they became smaller and flat. I have a 5s, have never used a sturdy case, just a rubber one, and almost always have it in my back pocket. Jeans, dress pants, shorts and sweats in my front. In the back on my motorcycle, in my car, running, working out, at work, when walking, etc... Woman won't have an issue, as they will just put it in their purse. This is a major design flaw and they need to use stronger materials to withstand normal everyday use. Really annoys me, as I own a ton of apple stock and this just brought it down over 4.00 in one day. Their R&D Quality Control people should have caught this. I and others who bought the 128 GB version paid $1000. not including tax. This design flaw and it is a massive "flaw" is appalling and sloppy on apple's part. I expect a full recall made with sturdier materials for normal every day use. Glad I'm not short on apple, or I'd be out a lot of money, not just on a poorly designed overpriced phone. Cook better start buying back some shares!
