Some iPhone 6 users are complaining that the phone bends under pressure or when they leave it in their pocket for a long time. I’ve seen a couple of photos online and someone actually did the bend test. I remember the issue was raised as well with the iPhone 5s but I don’t remember what happened back then.
In all cases, Apple has not commented yet on the #BendGate but that’s a serious design flaw if it turns out to be true and applicable on all new phones.
Update: Here’s an article by cultofmac on the matter.

This really is a non issue, how is it a serious design flaw? Refer back to the Cult of Mac article that you shared, it is a problem that other phones across the spectrum have experienced as well. Take a metal phone, put it in a place where it can be stressed (sat on, leaned against, etc) and it will succumb to physics and bend. If you want it to last you take care of it, either get a proper case for it or don’t sit on
I don’t want to take care of anything… ana sheri msh howe sherine … i have the HTC one M7 … i always sit down while it is still in my pocket (back and front) and it falls from me … etc and it is still alive and in perfect condition …. the i phone is just over Puffed-up and overpriced …
Anything bends under pressure..all new phones are delicate and should be taken care of like you said..
I personally dont see it as an important issue since: 1. we dont know if these photos showing a bent iphone were taken after the phone was in some pocket for hours.. it could be bent like in the test and shared online..by samsung users probably lol .. 2) it took a lot of pressure to bend it in the video..i dont think any pants or pocket can apply the same pressure as 2 hands.. no matter how the pants were tight.
Why are you posting this.
You were saying 4 days ago that we Lebanese have our priorities elsewhere and now you are posting about flaws with the iPhone.
SOMETIMES U SAY SOME SHIT STUFF INDEED.
Only iPhone 6 plus has this issue because it is very big and thin … iPhone 6 has no such issues so far.
Shabeb, anybodyknow if The Iphone 6 is available at the Arport duty free, i would like to gift it for my sister on the way back to Lebanon ( i live in Romania here it is 1050€ for the 16gb iphone 6!!!!) and how much could it cost.
