No, you probably can’t bend the iPhone 6 Plus. Unless you’re a bodybuilder

Apple tested everything but not some guy walking around with it in his front pocket for two weeks Actually, they did. One of the things the tested for was being in pockets of tight jeans. . . and repeated sitting.
Plus, they were given to employees who were singled out because they were known to be hard on their phones for extended testing in real world conditions.
Inside Apple's testing lab.

fYI I had forgotten about the antenna problem a while back when Apple and Apple fanboys were just telling everyone it was the enduser problem hold their phones wrong No, we weren't. Those of us in the know we're telling people it did not exist. That is the case. The iPhone 4 went on to be the longest selling iphone of all. . . unchanged. . . without bumpers. See my explanation further up.

Whats the problem? Id have thought a phone that conforms to a teenagers butt-print when she puts it in her back pocket and sits on it, would be a feature rather than a bug. (Gotta be more useful than all those cracked screens I see on the bus.) Well, they've been talking about flexible screens for a while. Me? I think I'll wait until it's intentional.

I generally try to give credit where credit is due. I try to follow the facts.
Even Obama.
Well, I’m not certain about Obama. . . But I have on occasion given him kudos when they were due, but I always check my wallet. With him, I’m always looking behind, beneath, under, inside, upside, and even psychicall, for what he’s really doing. . . and unfortunately, I usually find the ulterior motive to what looks on the surface to be good and wholesome. That also makes me sad because it confirms the sad state of Satan’s invasion of our world and the grasp he is gaining on everything.
With Obama it isn’t unreasoning hatred. . . It’s reasoned fear of what he’s capable of

Dennis, what would happen if someone who wants to make a couple three hundred thousand dollars by removing the titanium stiffener that spans that weak spot, then videos himself bending his iPhone 6 Plus and putting it on YouTube for profit. It would bend easily exactly as it is shown to bend. I a suspicious SOB when it comes to anti-Apple FUD that just isn’t backed up by other facts. So far this guy has 36 million hits, garnering him over $300,000.
Not bad for destroying a $1000 phone. . . especially when you see the video is more than a little hinky in the timeline department.

I wouldnt buy this new phone for two reasons. You get them for free and someone pays you to stalk these threads.

People pointing out and being concerned about this issue are not necessarily Apple haters. They are not Apple customers either so what is their concern?
As Bill Gates once said my software does not have bugs, you must not know how to use it.
