iPhone 6 bends in your pocket

tavvy_2

Rushing out to get an iPhone 6? - check out Google news and You Tube. Apparently the phone can bend in your pocket. Perhaps I wont be getting one.


Perhaps "not fit for purpose"?

You are not using the right pocket.

You do know that Samsung, and HTC make screens superior to the Iphone, right?

The kind of people that buy apple stuff would not care if it self ignited as long as they can bore everyone to death about having the latests.

Look, Look , Look they say, Oh wow I reply , they re-invented the Galaxy note...

I love this article ... "Just casually sticking a £700 smartphone in your pocket is an increasingly reckless thing to do."

Where else would you put it?

I have a 5.5" phone and have had for months, it goes in my pocket! Although can't say that bends though!

What you need to solve that issue is the upcoming 'iTrousers' device that Apple are doubtless working on right now...
Lockable trouser pocket with a fingerprint scanner maybe?
Presumably it'll be called 'iPants' in the US, but I trust they'll rebrand it for the UK.

Apples response:

"Over the weekend, we had our biggest iPhone launch yet. Sadly, there are media outlets who target Apple because of our size and success. There have been claims that the popular iPhone 6 Plus is subjected to bending when in the front pocket for a long period. That’s because everyone is carrying their iPhones incorrectly. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is too beautiful to be left in your pocket. That’s where those other devices that don’t trade function for form belong. However, we do have some consolation for iPhone 6 Plus users. We will give everyone a holster so that everyone can see your beautiful iPhone. - Tim Cook, CEO Apple.
