Tests conducted on iphone 6 plus indicate that they have the tendency to bend under pressure. Keeping it in the pocket of tight jeans and sitting down for long periods of time will disfigure your new iphone 6 and 6 plus.
Apple has not made their new phones robust enough.
How will they rectify this design flaw now at this stage is not understood. Apple iphone 6 & 6 plus is not recommended at all for this price.

Carol, 26 Sep 2014I'm confused, why is Nokia your nick?:)). You are clearly a... moreI strongly apologize if you see me as a an apple fan but I'm humbly not an Ifan nor android fan. I'm nokia fan who wants to share one of the biggest controversy of this simple issue that is happening to out phones society.
If you see my old comments I am not siding on both parties but understanding both parties belief in there product they bought or purchase..
This is a big blow to phone companies who started from in simple un ethical guy to do on bending phones in youtube just to earn big money and make a severe controversy on this simple issue.
Companies like Apple and Samsung or maybe all phone are trying there best to make our customers satisfied on there product
They listen to customers
Apple: Consumers are wanting big and slim phone so they tried all there best to make as thin as possible but with the premium look just to satisfy the apple fans needs.
Samsung and any other android: they try to make new things to make the customer need like quad cores, octa cores, qhd, water resistant etc because android fans one that.
These companies took their time and lots of money to make this simple things just to satisfy us we consumers.
Android and Apple fans have their own belief on they product they have and enjoy.
No product is perfect but phone companiese try there best to make it a little perfect just to satisfy us.
It all started on " tight skinny jeans" and we blame companies and we fight each other but think of this phone companies. It's a big blow right now because now are aware of the new trend the bending issue that has been an issue since 2013 by Samsung and htc tight jeans bend and break but because of apple bend issue. It's a big blow to them.
but we forgot to see what it all started in the " tight jeans or trousers"
Fashion is the fault here because just to make as look good but sometimes the trend is going back to 80's which is thin and tight clothes and as I said it again phone technology is want consumers to make phone bigger and slim
as again I humble apologies if you see me as a ifan but I am not
I love Nokia even people see us as nothing but we respect and appreciate what other people say because we have different belief and wants nor android, apple , windows and blackberry.
We know our phone looks like a big brick our os looks simple but we appreciate what we have because we appreciate what the company thus and what we purchase.

Verytired, 26 Sep 2014Stupid statement
"In case your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 ... moreI believe most warranties and certainly insurance policies will likely insist on inspecting a damaged item prior to replacement, since most will differentiate between "unexpected" damage, normal wear and tear and damage willingly inflicted by the user.
It's a fairly standard thing, not limited to Apple in the slightest, because insurance and warranties are essentially gambling on the device being properly built and handled correctly. No one likes losing that bet, so scrutiny is expected.

It looks just like a big iPod which my kid bent by putting it in her back pocket. The iPod was sturdier.

Bought one for my wife. She is terrified that it is too frail and will bend in her purse. It is a waif of a phone. She wants a Samsung Note 4.

Stupid statement
"In case your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus bent from normal use, it will need to pass Visual Mechanical Inspection in order to qualify for warranty replacement. We are not familiar with the inspection’s guidelines."
Bend is bend , so by iFailure bend the warranty by the statement.

Aluminum is an excellent conductor of both heat and electricity. Bent phones may short phone internals. I hope no one gets shocked and no shorted units explode.

Not nine in ten millions but nine in few hundreds. Most of the phones in ten millions are just booked not in hands of people. So the defects seems more serious than apple claims. It looks unfortunate to apple to follow Samsung.

Nokia 930, 25 Sep 2014well think about the other victims on Samsung and HTC bend ... moreI'm confused, why is Nokia your nick?:)). You are clearly an ifan. You really think this problem is only with some devices? In what world do this people leave?! Wake up, for God sake. There are other important stuff in this world. Anyway, for what matters, i can assure you all their new devices will bend and quite easy. Cause this is how they are designed and manufactured. To do a more stable and sturdy device they need to get back on design and manufacturing forms and change almost everything in that process and that will cost... OH, so much money for their pour souls. Am pretty sure they will try to sell this new ibends as long as they can, AND, they will never change them or make them more PREMIUM as they try to brag this devices are. But yeah, they will tell people: Sure, we already did something and now our devices are stronger then a diamond. Indoctrinating and making people believe: Ups mine is bended, probably from the old stock. :))). Wake up, people! They are as they are, bendable and this model will always be like this. A bendable 1000$ crapp (oh, sorry: premium device)
