To date, about 4 people have come to the forum to say they bent their phone. If this was such an issue, we'd be seeing waaaaaaay more reports of bent phones. A friend of mine is an Apple Store Genius and he told me (he'd have no reason to not be honest) that in our local Apple Store, not one person has come in with a bent phone. Apple itself has publicly stated (this was about a week ago) that they've received nine complaints.


So, do the math. Apple how has sold at least 60,000,000 phones and the percentage of complaints isn't even statistically relevant. Bottom line, the phone is thinner and is made of aluminum. Any phone made of aluminum, which stressed enough could bend (not just Apple phones). So put it in a case, don't sit on it and be responsible with your device.

You're right, bad choice of words, please understand that it's out of frustration.I really do love apple products, possibly call me an enthusiest for the mobile devices. Just upset my phones broken.

I remember the time I dropped my phone in the parking lot and didn't realize it until it had gotten run over..... It was awful. But, in the end, it's just a phone, a replaceable object. It's not your foot, your kitten or your child. Get a better case, get AppleCare+, move on and enjoy your life.
