Apparently, it's not just the iPhone 6 Plus that cannae change the laws of physics:

Those of you with bent iPhones can now rest easy that the problem existed on old models of other phones ....the s4.... The Z1......
2012 tech again anyone ???
Calm down:p
Cult of Mac has trawled the web and found a few cases of old android models that did the same. Its apple playing catch up again. IPhone 7 will probably iron out the issues like newer androids look to have - although I'm sure someone will find evidence somewhere of it still happening on newer models
Same test on the Galaxy Note 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwM4ypi3at0
Definitely nothing to see here, don't you know Apple phones never have any faults

My god ! Are you saying that samsung HAVE managed to change the laws of physics .... Has the OP seen this ??????
Its a ground breaking new and innovative feature, the iPhone 6+ shapes itself to fit more comfortably in your pocket. ;-)
Just you doubters wait and see, all other manufacturers will copy this for their flagship phones.
Surely even the most ardent fan must admit this looks like it could be a design flaw that other manufacturers seem to have mostly ironed out by now ??
Can we not merge this thread with the nexus 4/2012 one for consistency ??
Those who buy these huge phones should get themselves a 'man bag' to complete the look.
Innovative Apple strike again!
Big thin aluminum shell is prone to bending and staying bent, and other damage. That's what thin metal does. Plastic shell needs more effort, it bends, but it comes back. You have to bend and break it. With previous models this was not a problem for Apple, but apparently size does matter.
My Note 3 has been through all sorts of trials and tribulations from being dropped to spending long amounts of time in my pockets even when driving.... screen still intact and phone still straight! :cool:
I do have a man bag, but carry my Lumia 1520 in my pocket for 9 months now, no damage whatsoever. It's Apple's fault for making the phone from very thin aluminum. Plastic probably isn't premium, but it's better suited for a device of this size.
So its everyone else's fault for forcing apple down the phablet route ?
Seems the manufacturers don't have the issue as much though these days .... Spooky
Turns out Steve Jobs was a genius after all...
I do wonder if the vast majority of iphones actually didn't work out of the box, would that be defended too, after all some android phones have broken too.
It amazes me how this blind loyalty survey only came back with a 78% result and not 99%.
It it becomes a big story with literally millions of people complaining and returning them, then it will look like they do.
If this story just fades away quietly like so many others, then it will look like they don't.
So we're back on the blind loyalty thing - in a dramatic twist, new Apple products now come with something called a guarantee. This allows people to return said products if they are unhappy with them and get a full refund.
But to be fair he can point us to other threads that have gone equally badly to make it all OK though
Probably exactly this.
Well now Calico has joined in I expect the thread to turn into a couple of dozen pages about how it's down to too many ppi that has weakened the screen and that's why some of the phones are bending.
