This has got to be the most embarrassing day for Apple

The iPhone 3GS is probably laughing from its grave.

I love the microwave feature

GOAT 09-25-2014 08:00 AM

Thats why I wait a couple months after they release it to get it.
and not having money might also be the reason :'''(

IPAD 09-25-2014 08:07 AM

so, if you bend it then make it proportional again, then bend it again and make it proportional again, you can make a game called "How many times can you bend the iPhone 6".

Tyler 09-25-2014 03:04 PM

Yeah, I saw that. The fact that it bends in your front pocket is really sad. I don't know why people keep buying these things immediately instead of waiting to hear about flaws like this.

Careful dude,

If you bend it enough both ways it'll crease like a piece of paper.

Soon you'll be able to rip it in half.

Seems plausible since their tv ad takes a lot of jabs at Apple for going big.

I think it's ridiculous that such a "top quality" product released something that unknowingly bends. Shows their commitment to their products!

Downsider 09-28-2014 12:05 AM

its made of aluminum, if you think you shouldn't be able to bend aluminum with some force you're autistic. it's the price you pay for a prettier material.

I believe it was real, just had no sponsors and wasn't distributed anywhere yet. It is out in the public, don't know if they will. If its not real, idk.

Well, luckily I don't make a habit of using brute force to attempt to bend my iPhone, so I think I will be okay.

This bend thing is pretty crazy.

Today, I was shopping for few things so I stopped by Apple and Best Buy to check out the iPhone 6.

At the Apple Store, I see some of the iPhone 6 demo units were missing. Apparently people are going to the Apple Store and "bending" the iPhone 6. Then a few minutes later, police officers go inside the Apple Store to talk to someone that recently bent the iPhone 6 and refused to pay for the damages. Apparently this happened ten minutes before I entered the store.

Best Buy, I check out the iPhone 6 Plus because I'm more interested to purchase this iPhone. I check it out and some people tell me "It's a bad phone. It bends", "Watch me to bend this iPhone", "Galaxy is better because it doesn't bend" and so on. Then few minutes later, I leave the iPhone area and I see a parent and a kid bending the iPhone 6 and cops were called.

If anyone plans on buying the iPhone 6 dont forget to purchase your repair kit in advance!

Samsung is really going at Apple.

Not necessarily related to the bending issue though:

To be honest I think people are over-reacting. Unless the bending effects your experience, and wasn't done by force.

If it's a small curve, calm down. My phone is missing the micro usb port and it works fine.

Except now you're missing that functionality durr. If you pay as much as you're charged for the iphone 6 plus and it bends in your pocket just by sitting down or something simple like that, I'd say you have every right to be pissy, it's a huge design oversight. Heck! I would!

If it's noticeable while using it, yeah. But from what I've seen it doesn't look nearly as bad as some people emphasize it to be.

kenthefruit 09-29-2014 04:21 AM

It's still a bent phone though lol, I definitely would not want a bent iPhone, especially since I'm very picky.

Yog 09-29-2014 07:16 AM

I wouldn't consider it bent. It's curved. Slightly. I don't understand the problem. It's my opinion.

It's possible I'd change my mind if I invested a few hundreds into a phone that bent, and I was in a contract.

MisaChan 09-29-2014 11:48 AM

Samsung: has more Uses.
Apple: Cause its an apple.

One mistake is big in the real world.

Winter 10-01-2014 10:30 PM

As an Android user, its not like Samsung's phones are infallible. Enough pressure will snap just about any smartphone in half. It is alright in marketing to capitalize on a fault in a competing company like that, but it does get to be far too much after a short while. Samsung really drills Apple more than it should IMO.

When we're talking about billion dollar companies I can understand expecting them to get things right the first time.

Talon 10-02-2014 05:20 AM

Why do Samsung and their fanboys feel the need to bash Apple and their users so hard? Why does someone else's taste in smartphone make you need to call them out? I never understood that.

I've had an S3, I've had a 4S and 5S, I've used an S4 and I've used an HTC One. They're all great phones, and they all get the job done more than adequately enough for just about anything you'd need a phone to do. These smartphone wars are stupider than the console wars, and that's saying a lot.

People have the need to get fun things for themselves like apps. they're all the same, but this generation of kids, you definitely need a iPhone or iPad or else they'll keep begging you to go home. I see kids do it all the time. mostly kids around 8-11. Hand a kid your phone with apps, they waste the battery and you somehow get in a accident or they lose the phone, you can buy a new one. Apple revolves around kids and teenagers. Their parents buy them apple because a lot of people tried it and liked it because it looks like it has better ratings that samsung and anything else

I just love that fact that it bends to fit my butt. So now I can take it from my butt to my face and feel the warmth in the Winter :D

screw iPhone 6, iPhone 5c master race, my phone did like a 5 ft drop and landed on the screen and not a single **** was given by my phone. No scratches or cracks. Plastic FTW

The US is one of the only (if not the only) country in which they're winning the smartphone market, if they even are anymore. And just barely so.

Android dominates Apple globally by a longshot. It's not even close to being relatively close to remotely close.
