News : That bendable iPhone 6 screen isn't a feature.

Headline : That bendable iPhone 6 screen isn't a feature (update).

Excerpt from the ~ Link "Not sure if you want to hide your shiny new iPhone's newfangled design in a bulky case? Maybe you should -- apparently, it's quite pliable. iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users on Twitter seem to be finding small, but noticeable bends just south of the handsets' volume controls. Front-pocket storage is all it takes to give the handset a gentle slope, according to some users, but it can be bent other ways too. Back pockets and malicious YouTube users (video from Unbox Therapy after the break) can both bend the device to their will."


My Thoughts :

Of Course phones do have some 'give' ,but this is enlightening news !

If it's anything like the signal drop issue, they're probably gonna tell people that they're putting in there pocket wrong.

Yeah, they'll be fine. A bending phone is not much in the long game sadly. The 6s will have a reinforced chassis to stop this and it'll be lapped up.
