I was saving my hard earned money for almost a year just to buy Iphone 6 as soon as it been launched in Pakistan, and I spent almost a thousand dollar just to buy one but within three months its started bending substantially, and I am extremely disappointed by this kind of a quality. I wasn't expected this from Apple please help me in this regard I haven't dropped it once. Please guide me accordingly
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3, Iphone 6 bending
It takes quite a bit of force to bend an iPhone 6. Are you suggesting the phone just started to bend on it's own?
Accidental damage and abuse are not covered by the warranty.
Phones, including the iPhone, do not bend spontaneously.
After spending a thousand dollar do you think I would apply force just to bend my iphone, sorry I am not that nuts .
Apparently, you are.
Objects do not spontaneously bend. An outside force must be exerted upon them to cause them to bend.
Who would decide that, if it is abused or accidentally damaged. Their must be a criteria???/
There's only one possibility here... telekinesis
No doubt about it.
Apple makes that decision. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and see what they say.
Don't hold your breath.
If you want an analogy, ask yourself if the warranty on your car will cover a dent in the fender... Cars don't spontaneously change shape. Neither do phones...
I am telling you what happened with my phone it started bending by just keeping it in my pocket, I haven't dropped it from 10th floor or make an elephant to stand on it, why would I?

Because you exerted enough force on it to cause it to bend.
According to the 3 point test done by Consumer Reports, linked to above, that requires 70 pounds of force.
I have had the same problem. My iPhone 6 plus has a slight bend at the volume +/- buttons. I have it encased in a leather cover. The phone sits in my front right pocket. Occassionally I will sit down with the phone still in my right front pocket. I usually take the phone out of the pocket, but sometimes I don't. The phone has been bent slightly upwards. So there is no 'crap' about all this being a non issue. It is an issue. The length of the iPhone 6 plus is the culprit, not 'pressure' applied from the raising & lowering your legs, when sitting or standing. And as per normal Apple doesn't care. So like you Zohaibbaqi, I am stuck with a dodgy iPhone.
Well there is your answer - your pocket is NOT the place to keep a phone.
Replacement of iPhone 6
