The new iPhone 6 can bend by just being put in your pocket - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;46088080]That doesn't really make sense. The other guy from "Unbox therapy" could bend the Iphone 6 plus more easily than the normal Iphone 6 with his bare hands. One of the two sources is wrong.[/QUOTE] I'd much rather trust the more scientific one. You can't really get accurate, scientific results from a person just bending something with his hands.

I still use the old iPhone 4. Still fine, one of the speakers is busted though.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;46075815]You shouldn't use your phone without a case, but as a product designer you shouldn't make your phone brittle enough to be bent that easily either.[/QUOTE] True, you should always have a case to prevent scratches and dings, as well as to help create an impact buffer for the internals; however, it shouldn't be required for a device that costs $600+ on its own. What I find funny is that people look at aluminum based phones as if it's premium material. Aluminum is cheap, it's malleable; it's not tungsten or steel. It's obvious that Apple cut corners when deciding what quality of aluminum to use and how much internal reinforcing would be done design-wise. It amazes me how many people are still blindly supporting Apple, as if it's ok to release a multi-hundred dollar device with a severe design flaw.

I wonder what the stockholders are thinking. And how much did it fall in price?

Oh man. I tried to bend my Desire HD, with reasonable force, of course, and it feels like a brick nokia phone compared to that new phone.

[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;46088080]That doesn't really make sense. The other guy from "Unbox therapy" could bend the Iphone 6 plus more easily than the normal Iphone 6 with his bare hands. One of the two sources is wrong.[/QUOTE] Looking at the other bending videos there's a notable difference is where pressure is being applied and how it's being distributed. In the videos, such as [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ3Ds6uf0Yg"]this one[/URL], pressure is applied in the center of the phone. Watching the Consumer Reports video shows that pressure is applied to the entire width of the phone, which is likely better distributing the weight out, something which likely isn't as realistic a situation as someone's leg is roundish. I don't think either of the sources is wrong in the sense of being faked; rather I think they are showing different things. The more scientific approach taken by Consumer Reports is probably the same reason this got by Apple in the first place; the scientific approach is flawed as it doesn't take into account all of the factors on how force might be applied, and for how long.
