    I didn't really think it was a issue. I did have a small bend in my iPhone 5s that I didn't notice until I took the case off, was totally my fault because I sat on it. We live and we learn.

    Here is LG poking fun at Apple using Twitter on a iPhone. Oh the irony.

    Forget about the bending iPhone, what about the blending iPhone:

    We'll call it 'Blendgate'!

    If Apple had better engineers the iPhone would never have blended like that. I mean, what if consumers put their iPhones in there, it isn't their responsibility that it was in there in the first place and they pressed the button.

    Apple sold 10,000,000 iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in 3 days. So close to 5 million 6 Plus.

    Even if the 6 to 6P ration was 3:1, that's still only 9 problems out of 2.5 million.

    It doesn't matter. Android/WP/BlackBerry people are going to throw science and statistics out the window just to smear a company they dislike.

    Consumer reports actually just tested the iPhones. The 6plus did better than the 6. The HTC M8 was the worst. http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/26/...ne6-bend-test/

    People are stupid for believing the bending. It is really rare even with the 6+ but since it's Apple it gets blown waaaay out of proportion. Anyone who sits down with their phone in their back pocket, iPhone or not is an ***** and deserves a bent phone.

    Just a thought, what if bending is a normal feature?
