Cringed hard

Hondaracer 09-23-2014 04:28 PM

It's thin as fuck and the guy is shaking to apply enough force to actually bend it :/

xpl0sive 09-23-2014 05:32 PM

I can see it bending in someone's pocket. Shitty deal I wonder what Apple will have to say about it.

SkinnyPupp 09-23-2014 05:50 PM

The fact that it was so bent before he even tried should somewhat concerning to iphone users :heckno:

Why should they be concerned? Because some guy looking for clicks makes a video showcasing some imaginary problem?


Now if you want to see a lot of bent phones, just Google "xperia z1 bent" or "xperia z2 bent" and click on images. There's tons of people who've bent these phones through "normal" use in their pockets. Yet somehow Sony has escaped mass media coverage for manufacturing a supposedly "defective" phone.

This clickbait video was prompted by hundreds of iphone 6+ users reporting bent phones... I bet if people here look at their iphone 6+ in a few weeks, they'll see the same thing ;) (presuming everyone hasn't traded it for the normal 6 by then)

I did. There were 2 or 3 results, from people who obviously sat on their phones.

Someone on Reddit mapped out charging speed on the 6+ with the iPad charger and an Anker one

Slower charge is better for the battery though

I reserved mine under contract but ended up purchasing outright.

When I got there same thing happened to me, I was asked "contract or outright". I explained I reserved under contract but might purchase outright due to ineligibility. She said okay and paired me with an associate. He then asked me again and started telling me I had to buy out my contract. So I said I would just purchase it outright. At that point he said, "yeah you could do that too, that's probably better, easier too".

This was at the Pacific Centre location, last Friday during my 6-7pm time slot.

scoobyej20 09-23-2014 11:04 PM

Had a bit of trouble at RC today. The reservations guy at the front told me that I can't purchase it outright since I reserved it as contract. He said that "each carrier has a certain allocation etc". I told him to ask his manager and his manager said "It's fine, just sell it to him"

twitchyzero 09-23-2014 11:19 PM

the widespread bent phones is pretty nuts...i guess that's what happens when you have literally millimeters of aluminum...a mass recall doesn't seem likely but I wonder how it'll be solved

scoobyej20 09-23-2014 11:26 PM

iPhone Plus inventory is unavailable every day.. this reservation system sucks.

Don't worry, the iPhone 6+S will be unbendable and won't have those ugly stripes on the back, and the lens will be flush.. Get ready to pay another $3000 for a new contract! :ilied:

Energy 09-23-2014 11:58 PM

Lol contract. I'm done with that... Makes more sense to buy outright these days.

asian_XL 09-24-2014 12:29 AM

If you are planning to resell your ip6 to those Chinese and Hongers, you can forget about it now. The ip6 128gb price has dropped below retail price lol

You can still make approx $350 from ip6+ 128gb gold.

Manic! 09-24-2014 01:58 AM

They will fix it by giving everyone a case or just tell hipsters to stop wearing skinny jeans.

You're an outright liar. Hundreds of bent iPhone 6's? Please provide a link to these hundreds. I can't seem to find them and even at Apple Support there's not that many.

And 2-3 results for the Xperia? More lies. I just did the search again and counted 10 different phones in a few seconds of looking (different as in a different bend points, different users).

Is this all you can do now? Resort to lying because you lack the facts to support an argument?

There both of you are right

A number of users across various forums, sites and Twitter have reported – and pictured – that their phones have become warped after they sat or bent down with them in front and rear trouser pockets.

The reports come just after an insurance company claimed that the new iPhones are the most robust ever – though its tests didn’t include bending.

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus chassis is milled from a solid piece of aluminium alloy whose composition is secret. The weak area of the phone appears to be around the volume buttons, where the frame is at its thinnest and creates a fulcrum point around which the phone bends. Surprisingly, the screen does not break when the phone bends – though it does if the phone is then bent back to a flat profile.

Apple is not the first to have the problem of a large-screened metal-framed smartphone bending under use. Sony’s Xperia Z1, which had a 5in screen and a metal frame, saw users complaining that they bent in pockets, while Samsung Galaxy S4 users had similar complaints, as did BlackBerry Q10 users.

The exact number of iPhone 6 users affected is unknown. The Guardian found dozens of people on Twitter whose iPhone 6 or 6 Plus had bent – though there are also hundreds more echoing news reports and the pictures put up by those who have been affected.

Previous iPhones, including the iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S, have suffered from bending, with users complaining about the problem in 2010, 2012 and last year via Apple’s official internet forums.

Looks like Apple should ask Nokia for some tips on creating an aluminium phone from 1 milled piece of AL
