So, if you make a really “HUGE!” and thin handset out of aluminum and glass it could bend easily… Who’da thunk?
Reports are coming in from owners about their iPhone 6 Plus bending when kept either in their back or front pants pocket. A video from Unbox Therapy confirms the “bendability” of the device.
As demonstrated by a video posted to YouTube channel Unbox Therapy, vlogger Lewis Hilsenteger was able to bend the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus with his bare hands, suggesting the large-faced aluminum chassis has less structural stability than past iPhone models.
The video, seen above, shows how the iPhone 6 Plus being pushed in the middle of the phone’s rear case, while being pulled in from the edges. The case buckles near the cutouts for the device’s volume buttons.
While bending such as this might be expected from devices that are kept in the back pocket, some iPhone 6 Plus owners are reporting they had their 6 Plus in the front pocket, a location many users use in order to prevent the device from being sat upon.
Hilsenteger even mentions in the video that his iPhone 6 Plus was showing signs of slight bending with normal use prior to the video.
Have any of you experienced any signs of bending with your iPhone 6 Plus?
