One user, hanzoh, posted an image of a bent iPhone 6 Plus, complaining that the device warped after roughly 18 hours in his pocket.
Which pocket? You arent supposed to sit on these things!!

Perhaps the iPhone 6 is made out of Transparent Aluminum?

I am also pretty sure this would not happen with an iPhone 5.
Also, the Otter Box cases are outstanding.
Moreover, that company stands by its product.
I had one that had a defect, so I called them. They send you an e-mail with an attachment that you print out. You then lay out the 3 pieces of the case, take a picture of it, e-mail it back to them with the serial number, and they send you a new case - no questions asked. I could not believe that kind of customer service and integrity in this day and age.

The LG Flex smart phone was way ahead of Cupertino.

After 10 million sold, the pocket morons will bitch on the way to the store to buy another one to put in their pocket.
I’d call that $$$ in the bank for apple.

I've had this experience. My impression is that the microphone on the iPhone is positioned such that if you don't talk directly into it, the voice is muffled or distorted. It makes conversation near impossible. Anyone else notice this? My wife, my parents, and I all have iPhones. None of us has ever had this issue. As a matter of fact, when talking to my folks or my wife, I can hear so clearly through them that I could hear the conversation on the TV in the background at my folks' house, or my kids talking away if they're in the same room as my wife. My folks have the iPhone 5, and we have the 4.

Give every customer a label that says do not bend, fold or mutilate. That should apply to every company.
"The site has also posted images of bent chassis from Samsung, Sony, HTC, BlackBerry and Oppo."
You don't want it bent, don't abuse it in your back pocket. Put it in a shirt pocket, or don't sit on it. People are dumb.

It's starting to look like Antennagate all over again. "_gate" is so 20th century. This is Bent-gazi.

They did not carry them around in their pocket as part of the testing? Giving it to a teenager for a couple of weeks would seem to be standard test procedure.

Whenever Im on a call and the other persons voice is garbled or distorted and difficult to understand, I ask them what phone theyre on. 7 out of 10 times, its an iPhone.Ditto. Now we can look forward to their voice sounding warped too!

No, all family members have iPhones, about 6 plus coworkers. I never have comm problems...Of course not. You did like the hockey puck mouse also, right?

Just ignore it. I am not an iPhone fan and you are smart enough not to engage.
