iPhone 6+ bendgate issue.

It's not uncomfortable 99% of the time, and it shouldn't damage the phone. My phone is still flat after ~6months, despite being bigger than ip6+.
The only silly thing, is people like you saying it shouldn't be in a pocket.

If its not uncomfortable then no force is bring exerted on the phone hence it wont bend - so why all the hysteria?

Because if you bend over or something else, force can and does apply. However you aren't doing such things most of the day, you're doing those things for at most a few mins a day.
 
Saw my first 6+ in the flesh today. Wow, it's a bit bigger than I imagined :eek:

No evidence of bend on my brother's phone (plumber).

Exactly - the phone that started all this was squashed in someones pocket for a 4 hour car journey...
 
Assuming that's true, and only 9 people have complained about the bending, that's a very small number considering the amount of sales. Insignificant, almost.

Full statement (updated):

Our iPhones are designed, engineered and manufactured to be both beautiful and sturdy. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus feature a precision engineered unibody enclosure constructed from machining a custom grade of 6000 series anodized aluminum, which is tempered for extra strength. They also feature stainless steel and titanium inserts to reinforce high stress locations and use the strongest glass in the smartphone industry. We chose these high-quality materials and construction very carefully for their strength and durability. We also perform rigorous tests throughout the entire development cycle including 3-point bending, pressure point cycling, sit, torsion, and user studies. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use.

With normal use a bend in iPhone is extremely rare and through our first six days of sale, a total of nine customers have contacted Apple with a bent iPhone 6 Plus. As with any Apple product, if you have questions please contact Apple.

Even if yours did bend you would never admit it. Blind fanboyism.

If my £600 phone bent through no fault of my own I would expect apple to replace it :rolleyes:

As soon as someone starts trotting out the 'fanboy' line on here you know they have nothing of value to add.
