Anyone hear what Apple is doing to take care of the bends? (Iphone 6 issue)
What?! You mean the NINE PEOPLE who reported it to Apple out of their millions of customers ... :-) ...
On another point — I’ve got an iPad, and I’ve never heard of any bending issues ... BUT ... I’m not going to SIT ON IT to find out! ... LOL ...

Apple Rebuts Complaints of Bending iPhones

Tech Giant Says Only Nine Customers Have Complained About Bent iPhones
Apple Inc. on Thursday defended against reports that its largest iPhone bends easily in people’s pockets, saying warping is “extremely rare” through normal use.
Since going on sale Friday, Apple said only nine customers have contacted the company about a bent iPhone 6 Plus—the larger and more expensive of its two new iPhones. Apple said both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus passed a series of tests meant to check the products’ strength and durability through everyday use.
The company said the new iPhones are made from a custom grade of anodized aluminum, which is tempered for extra strength. Apple said the phones also feature stainless steel and titanium inserts to reinforce high-stress locations.
Nothing. It was a put up campaign of FUD. Apple sold over 60,000,000 iPhone 6 and 6+ in the last quarter and almost 90,000,000 to date and have had a total of under 100 complaints of bent iphones. . . most of which it was determined were deliberately bent as people tried to duplicate what they saw on YouTube. Apple replaced the bent iPhones.
