And they would be correct. Sitting on a phone is not normal usage, at least not for responsible people.

It actually doesn't take that much pressure to bend them.

Actually, it takes 70 lbs pf pressure to bend them.

Mine bent from normal usage as have many others.

So you normally apply 70 pounds of pressure to everything you use?

Some people say that putting your phone in your pocket and sitting on it is not "normal usage" LOL.

It may be “normal” for some to simon it but is not normal usage for a +$700 electronic device.

LOL

Oh yes. Never put your phone in your pocket!

Pretty sure no one suggested this...

No, I never do. It would get bent or scratched by my keys. Belt clips are a wonderful accessory.

calm down dan..

Since the only post he made in this thread was from OVER a year ago, chances he's nice and calm now.

Just what was your point for commenting on a post from that long ago, to begin with?

IInteresting to read this thread in its entirety, having just taken my iPhone 6 plus to a Genius Bar to query a screen fault. The 'Genius' showed (by laying the phone flat) the slightest curve in the history of curves. I began to get the spiel about 55kg pressure is needed to cause such bends, 'not normal usage' etc. I was about to argue my case, that it never gets sat on, or left in back pockets etc., when he said "Wait here whilst I go and get you a new handset." Being just out of warranty, I was very surprised. Clearly not 'Apple Policy' to refuse replacing bent phones after all.

It is on a case by case (no pun intended) basis.

Pray, tell, what are those traps?

What city are you located in?

I have the same issue now, phone is out of warranty since early Oct. Apple refuse to replace it, I opened a claim with my credit card company but they're not replacing it either because they said the original hardware warranty would not cover it.

Both responses are valid.

I still feel its a flaw in the material, why did they change the 6s to high strength aluminium? But who am I to argue against Apple or Visa's lawyers... Just wish Apple was the same company as 5-6 years ago where they would go above and beyond to make sure the customer is satisfied.

In the warranty there is this line:

This Warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries or protective coatings that are designed to diminish over time, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship;

My new Honda has a slightly bent front fender. Will Honda replace it for me?

Well if you wana compare apples to apples, in this case, your Honda would have a bend/crack in the chassis. And from normal use (not off roading) shortly after a year (Honda would have a five year warranty).

😁😁😁

Nope, and your maliciously deceptive Volkswagen is your problem as well.

No, the Honda warranty does not cover accidental damage.
