Apple officially responds to the iPhone 6 bending controversy

25 September, 2014
The Cupertino giant revealed that it received a small number of complaints about bent iPhone 6 smartphones.

Sort by:

Apple wanted to make a curved phone like lg flex but that would be copying lg,so apple made this phone in such a way that some point of time it shall take the curve. Lolzzz. Soon 10 million curved ones are on their way

    Just wow! Of course there's only a few complaints now, it's only out for a couple of days. Just wait when it's already a month or so, the number is bound to increase, that's a simple logic. Apple's defense is so amazingly pathetic, they didn't even bother to apologies. And their fans are like "Oo so it's like that. . No biggy then, my phone's safe. ." :D

          ONLY 9 out of 10 million have bending problem. This news was just blown out of proportion because it's Apple. Other brands have even more serious issues than iPhones, it's just that nobody cares about them so they never make it to the news.

            As Apple has just released iPhone 6, i believe 9 complaints is quite a huge number because most owners are still holding it extremely careful. Just saying!!

                  [deleted post]On the other hand, i sheep keep defending a poor quality product.

                  I have owned Nokia's, Apple and Samsung and would criticize any phone that had problems (its the only these companies listen).

                        AdamBoy64, 26 Sep 2014It is blown out of proportion, yes - the Apple Haters need ... moreIt's yet another sign that Apple continues to go downhill on quality. You never heard about this with previous iphone models.

                        Apple is going cheaper on everything (from salaries they pay engineers to components in their products) and with increasing frequency it's showing up in their products.

                            The phone pictured is the LG G Flex, which is indeed curved.

                            "LG's joke would be a lot funnier, but as 9To5Mac's Zac Hall notes, they tweeted their joke with an iPhone."

                            "Kind of defeats the point, don't you think?"

                              Apply, you are denying this just as you are denying other iPhone defects previously. You better say "Well, it bends, so we are going to release iPhone bending machine soon". Then you will make that bending iPhone as patent.

                              Apple = such a disgusting company.

                                  Fact:
                                  Iphone 6+ bends and stays bent
                                  Fact:
                                  Other phones may bend but return to normal after.

                                  Moral of the story:
                                  Poor design at volume area, compromise on alloy implementation and rushed product without thorough QC testing all at a premium price.

                                  Welcome to 2014.

                                      Apple falls flat on graphics, which is why their resolution is lower than nearly every other phone manufacturer's flagship phone and doesn't come close to the Note 4's display (which most reviews of the phone say is hands down the best display available on a phone today).

                                        First 9 people in the opening 7 days when everyone is ultra cautious. THIS NUMBER WILL INCREASE.

                                        First size is important! The iPhone6+ is flawed asl its size LxW 158.1 x 77.8 is 69.54% larger than the iPhone5S 124.8 x 58.6

                                        Second @ 7.1mm is thinner than iPhone5S 7.6 mm

                                        Third and it rubbishes Apples argument which ALL iphones (as same design)
                                        The bend is at the a button site . Strength has been compromised as the phone is thinner and whatever was solid before is "hollow" on a larger surface area phone

                                        The iPhone5 is more rigid as shorter and thicker than the longer and thinner iPhone6+

                                        In its desire to be thinner Apple have compromised the iPhone6 and as thinner the frame should been strengthened.
