Please don't say anything about this bend because apple will ask more money for ''curved'' display.

      Guys just how he bend each phone you can see already he knows where the weak spot in the volum position right are place where the battery is not there and then look how he bend the note 3 in the middle part

      now look how the s4 bending when you know where the weak spot it it bend and break the s4 battery is in lower side.

      I think the guy who post the iphone 6 plus is rich now for people his video

          as for some assessment with no bias whatsoever. If you choose aluminum material chances are it will bend, if you choose plastic material it will break, if you choose all glass chance are it will shatter. I think I know now why Nokia phones are one of best durable phones today but the downfall are chunky, fat, a little on but durable. If aluminum looks better more quality but one flaw it bend a little, plastic thin material it will break looks much better than fat plastic material so all things are not perfect so choose whatever you choose they always be imperfection on it

            Anonymous, 25 Sep 2014the person who had the phone in his pocket when it bent,did... moreinteresting when I saw the video again he put much effort on bending the Iphone 6 plus. You can see he knows where the weak spot of the Iphone 6 plus. The battery is in the left side and the bent in the video is in the right. The note 3 on the other hand is in the middle that's why only a little bend on it. If you know where the weak spot of the phone like the s4 bending break chances are it will bend or even worst it will break. If you see the z3 in the other it won't because of overall glass structure. Nokia on the otherhand put very chunk of plastic so it won't bend.

                ahahhahahahahahahaha!!! still clinging on to the 'quality' built of the metal iphones, ha i-fanboys? you pay premium price, and yet still getting rubbish from apple!

                like i say, you should flame apple inside outside backside left and right, just to ensure that they continuously up the ante and deliver better quality products to you.

                NOT getting the same old tech like dual-core, 1GB RAM, 8MP cam, and your same old excuse that you don't need these better hardware!! hell, I don't even use octa-core, 3GB RAM, or 16MP photos, but these are all 'given' by the manufacturer for the money paid, which is value for my money given that the tech is leap and bound when compared to a year or 2 ago!

                else you get a lazy apple that delivers rubbish products to you fanboys out there! and you still hang on to 'optimization' which is clearly a bullsht. there are 'some' instances of iphone 4,4s, and 5 are suffering lags with the latest ios 8 update, so please stop harping on denial of 'optimization' and 'user experience' anymore, you are starting to sound like a joke...

                i can't stop laughing!!! rofl!

                      I think this is the first time GSMArena has reported a bending phone besides clamshells.Surley in testing phase they detected the weak spot just below volume buttons?

                      This is bloody expensive phone folk should be able to enjoy it NOT have to put it in a case..What with latest iOS 8 version just been pulled Apple aint what it used to be..

                        Iphone Fan boys are always complaining about Android being laggy. At least the hardware isn't bendy! Let me guess we are holding it the wrong way and don't understand this latest innovation. LG have the G Flex. Apple have the iBent! When do we get IOS 8.b?

                                        even if you somehow proof that most phone are just as fragile.


                                        It absolutely provide no relief for people who have concerns about iPhone durability.
