Mr Josh 3 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Apple has commented on the ongoing complaints about the iPhone 6 Plus bending in user pockets, telling CNBC that the new iPhones include steel/titanium inserts to reinforce stress locations and that they use the "strongest glass in the industry." The company went on to say that only nine customers had complained about bent iPhones, suggesting the issue is not as widespread as it has appeared in the media. It also stated that both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have met or exceeded testing for strength and durability, and that bending in the iPhone 6 Plus during normal use is "extremely rare." Reports of the iPhone 6 Plus's weakness to bending first began trickling in on Monday, after several MacRumors forum members shared images of devices that had bent while in a pocket. The bending issue went viral after a YouTuber posted a video of the iPhone 6 Plus warping out of shape when bent in his hands, which caused significant damage near the device's volume buttons. Given the media attention the bending received, it was difficult to tell how many users were truly affected by iPhone 6 Plus bending during real world usage. Though Apple kept quiet on the issue until today, the company has been directing its support staff to replace affected phones under warranty following a visual inspection. via MacRumors ----------------- Meanwhile that guy who made the video is bragging about his 15 minutes of fame on twitter.

I don't see it bending also I heard that the metal inside was made of something else that is very bendable.

Neptune 156 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 They test that thingy before release you know It says on the article that bending in the iPhone 6 Plus during normal use is "extremely rare". Either they say that based on those tests (which apparently weren't that well made) or they say that based on the fact that only 9 costumers complained, which is an extremely flawed statistics since the phone was released a couple days ago.
