shadrach77: This is no news. The question is not why it bends but why it shouldn't bend. If you apply force on anything made with aluminium or even iron, of course there is the likelyhood of it bending. Why apply force in the first instance? Was it created to withstand that kind of force? Don't mind all these Iphone haters When you've paid an obscene amount of money on a product, you expect high standards. You forget the amount of force and pressure your average mobile phone will withstand. How many of you put your phone in your pocket? Now dudes might go on about how roomy their pockets are, but what about the pockets of your skinny jeans? And as any woman will tell you, the pockets on our jeans are just there to remind you not to put anything in them AKA the Michelin Man Effect. Anywho, the amount of force exerted from your thighs to your pocket can be an interesting thing. Even if you use a handbag, there's still activity going on in there. If you're like me, where my bed is my home AND workspace, then your phone will enjoy some additional punishment. Geez, I actually woke up on my phone today. Plus, I'm sure we've all enjoyed the endless wonder of taking a long phonecall without the hands-free or speakers. How many times have you used your hands and/or shoulders (AKA the poor man's hands-free)? All these little things (or in the case of me sleeping on my phone - big things) add to the cumulative force applied to your phone and we (the consumer) expect our phone to have long life...as long as we don't actively throw it down a volcano or a flight of stairs... Plus, some of y'all have a vice-like grip on things. The way some folks hold their controllers, remotes and phones, you'd think they never want to let it go out of fear that it would run away, the instant they loosen their grip. 8 Likes |

iPhone 6 na bendable display na. What do you expect from a company who just produced their first phablet? They are still an apprentice in that area so they should ask Samsung how to produce rigid phablets. 3 Likes |

If you apply pressure to a phone that thin, it will surely bend. |

talktimi: well I got pissed off from the Samsung galaxy s 4 when it initially came out because it felt so cheap in my hands (not talking of the price but rather the cheap plasticky feel and weight when compared to an HTC) so build quality actually matters for some people broiPhones are very strong and have good quality. I've used 4s and I'm presently using the 5s. Nobody buys a phone and try to bend it. It doesn't make sense. It is not part of the test we perform on phone b4 we buy them, so I don't understand why the op is trying to discredit a very good device 1 Like |

Nigerians will never stop defending rubbish!Its so sad that people can be controlled by a brand name..Its high time people became contented with their gadgets than buying any new one released just to outdo your peers..it downright stupid.Apple products have been all hype and no durability..They just have a very good business psyche to know that people buy expensive gadgets to show off without even questioning the durability! if it were a tecno phone that hadthis bending issue the same apple fans will say "that's what you get when you buy a cheap phone". Well cheers to the long lasting,overhyped, unnessarily expensive piece of crap people just wasted their money on!I wonder when people would even get it in their skull that apple products are just living on the goodwill of the brand name which they sustained due to lack of competitors in the smart phone industry.no more no less! 1 Like |

Initially, it was not discovered by trying to bend it, it was discovered by people who put iphone 6 plus in the pocket and on bringing it out from the pocket, they noticed the bend. The same bend test was tried on galaxy note 3 which happened not to bend like the iphone 6 plus. 3 Likes |
