I have had the 6plus since launch day and its still flat as a board... Want your phone to bend, grab it with both hands and twist the crap out of it...

Guess what I bet I can bend my rMBP too if I try to :)

Will "Bendgate" Still Be An Issue?

Still waiting for my Plus to bend. It's in my front pocket a lot. Always when I'm playing bass and sitting. Always falling asleep on it. 9 months no bends with a really thin TPU case.

Not me, and I'm not expecting it to bend...:)....If my iPhone 6 Plus is not in my hand, it's almost always in my back pocket. It's been dropped a few times, the last time being in a sporting goods store where it dropped on the concrete floor screen down. Some people behind me gasped, but were surprised that I didn't seem to be concerned. I have Apple Care + so, of course, I wasn't concerned. Anyway, after paying for the stuff I bought, I picked the iPhone off the floor, looked at the screen and didn't see any damages, pressed the home button and saw that the screen light up, thanked GOD, put the phone in my back pocket and walked out of the store...:)....No bending, scratches, scrapes, nicks, dings, cracks or chips.

Only with clickbaiting tech bloggers who can't get traffic any other way...

And trolls from other platforms and sites who are so bitter that they are willing to trash a piece of tech to make themselves feel like they have a purpose in life.

I know of two such troll sites.....

I forsee lots of back orders, production delays, but totally worth the wait. I too had my guy end up bending the 6 I got him. If this is really the shell, wow. Just wow.

The bending is one of Apple's newest innovations. Instead of something like changing color based on one's mood, Apple starting on a trial basis with the iPhone 6 and 6 plus has implemented a technology where the actual physical form of the phone will change based upon the mood or personality of the user - hence some user's phones 'bent' which matched their own moods/personalities. Those users were the privileged few. Apple has perfected this technology for the new 2015 iPhone releases, to the point where those users whose phones would most likely bend will now be repelled from the phones by an active resistive 'Force Touch'!!!

On another note, how violent are you all with your phone? I've never as much as cracked a screen in all my time having one of these phones. What is it you're doing that "easily" bends the phone? The picture shown of a cracked phone wasn't simply "talking on the phone" when it happened.

WHAT are you talking about....never mind. it doesn't matter. I'm not here to win a grammer or spelling bee. You know what I'm talking about, .... ENOUGH....IT WAS A JOKE.....PERIOD. NOW STOP!!!

I think apple has maybe fixed it but there still might be a couple that slip through the cracks because not everything is gonna be 100% perfect

I'm kinda interested in that anondization thickness. I think it'll really cut down on nicks and minor scratches...
