Apple quality guaranteed :roll:.

Bull. The aluminum frame on the 5 and 5s is too thick and the glass would shatter if bent anywhere near that far.
Apple needs to take more care with their releases. Seems they don't understand that having the most popular line of phones means they get scrutinized the hardest.
No doubt this well get fixed and replacements will be issued, but the damage is done.

A ton of money in order to bend....

Any other phone's glass would make a crack before it'd bend. Except when you're using cheap ass crap materials like apple do.

WOW! I was seriously going to buy one of these too. Not anymore, what a loss.

No problems with my Moto X either 🙂 They will find a way to spin it and the sheep will herd to the fix and spend $20-$30 on it.

Every new phone is overpriced here in Latvia 😀

I am only quoting don't kill me.. "Sorry but if you sit your big ass on your phone and that is the result, it's damage not defect.". Also why the heck are you putting a phone that size in your freaking back pocket? Seems like a cracked screen or something else waiting to happen.

Read Rugburn's post.
Then view the YouTube video he posted.
If a phone costs as much as an iPhone 6 Plus, I can at least expect it to be hard to bend just like a Note 3.

Why would you ever put a phone in your back pocket, you sit on your ass, you're sitting on your phone, it's going to break eventually, what if you fall ass backwards.
That and wallets, easy stealing target too.

For the price of the iPhone6 and iPhone6 Plus, I'd expect it to be able to take AT LEAST as much abuse as my Nexus 4.....which has successfully survived several 5ft+ drops onto concrete plus me landing on it.

When its in your pocket, the aluminium gets warm, when that happens it bows far more easier then plastic.

A few cases does not constitute a design flaw. Take a 5 or 5s and try to bend it with your hands like they are doing with the 6. You can't. Just because a few people somehow exerted too much force on their phone and broke it, doesn't mean its Apple's fault.
A 300lb person, wearing tight fitting jeans, with their phone in their back pocket will break almost any smart phone if they sit down. But people are dumb and phone manufacturers can't fix that.

Its a feature !!!!! not a problem, Apple invented the bended phone.
( note for later: remind me to put a licence on it when i have some minutes )
( i joke )
Anyway, as a video was showing the note3 ( who come back in place ), just for the note, you can still try with the Note4... good luck for arrive to bend it..

I'm going to take some convincing that the difference between the aluminum they're using being malleable and being very malleable is a few degrees, like that would logically mean when it's on charge it would be like silly putty.

I don't really feel like bending my phone to prove a point tbh (plus it doesn't have glass in front of the LCD either), I don't know how isolated the 5 or 5s bent cases were, a google result just pulled up a small amount of cases, it was more just in response to you posting it bull and that it would shatter
I agree, people are dumb, don't put it in your back pocket.
But this is likely also affecting front pocket.

If ask me it believe the reason why the iPhone bent so much easier is due the fact the has more half round edge doesn't help things unlike older 5 model that has a flat edge which make it far more strength
