    I am not an iPhone fan, but I think other smartphones (except some LG's flexible one) just crack instead of bending when handled incorrectly (that, IMHO, includes carrying in trousers pockets).

    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.

    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Where's the source for this?

    By the way, someone actively made an effort to bend the iPhone with sheer force and then uploaded the pic, and it has been taken wildly out of context. I highly doubt the phone will bend in your pocket.

    Please note: Parts of this article are satire. Any statements “made” by Tim Cook are not real. Apple is yet to respond to this issue or lack thereof at the time of posting. All other information outside of statements “made” by Tim Cook are factual.
