I thought apple thralls would just expect this kind of shenanigans at this point. Oh well, you get what you pay for...unless it's an apple product apparently, then you only get what you deserve.
Keeping Your iPhone 6 in Your Pocket May be Warping it - Update 2

I'm sorry I can't hear your flimsy apple products over the sound of my still perfectly functional (through several drops, exposure to rain and sand and being kept in a teenager's pocket with keys) 4 year old Sony Xperia Play.
Plastic frames hold up a ton better simply because they can flex a little to absorb impacts then bounce back on if they do crack you gen generally glue them back together so long as they aren't too badly damaged.
Seriously I wish people wouldn't buy Apple products just on the brand anymore they are far too overpriced and made with expensive sounding but cheap and shoddy components like aluminium and Foxconn electronics.

But then again, is it not immoral to let stupid people keep their money?vallorn said:
OT: Brand loyalty truly is a terrifying thing. Imagine any of the other companies having this serious problems with their phones. They'd be bankrupt overnight.
I can't remember which Iphone it was, but one of them basically would break from, what is in my country a normal winter temperature, in pocket. Apple tried to claim it would not replace the broken phones, but consumer right official said that either they replace them, or wont sell phones that brake in regular conditions in this country.
Heh, usually it suppose to be the other way around (well what conspiracist think about keeping a phone in your pocket).
No, it's a feature. Because of the ever growing screen sizes, the phone is designed to be bent in a concave shape, so that the user has the perfect 90° degree angle to the display at all times. A very elaborate premium product.
I think this is why people were warned not to sit on the fenders of a Lamborghini Countach. Its aluminum body is about the thickness of a soda pop can. Also it is an expensive sport car, not a lawn chair. In Apple's case, this falls into the category of piss-poor engineering. Casio makes less expensive cell phones that are designed to work in battlefield conditions, as in getting ridden over by a truck in the rain in January. Telephones as tough as their wrist watches.
The price range on the iphone 6 is 650-850 not 1000=1449. Theres plenty of legitimate complaints to make about apples pricing, without having to make stuff up. Like charging 100 bucks for 15 bucks worth of additional memory while refusing to put in sd card slots. Or the fact that every other phone currently selling at the 650+ price point has 3-4x the RAM larger batteries and high resolution displays.Whatislove said:
I agree with most of what you said, but inflating things like that ruins your arguement.
You are pocketing it wrong!
That is crazy do they not test things like this ? I mean its cool that its thin but there was no need to make it thinner, with the shrink in the size o the PCB why not keep it the same size and add more battery ?
I have a nexus 5 myself and it has never bent
, i dont dislike apple i have an ipad but the nexus 5 suits my phone needs better.

Yup, my friend just bought one of these, I'll have to let him know just how stupid he is.
Personally I don't do phones, but if I did I wouldn't get an iPhone for sure.

Another phone, another dreadful design flaw.
It isnt even like putting the phone into your pocket is like putting it into a vice, it is where phones should be able to go. What next? Apple branded man-handbags?
