Apple Acknowledges iPhone 6 Bends But Plays it Down

Apple Acknowledges iPhone 6 Bends But Plays it Down

Recently, Apple said that they have been getting complaints about the iPhone 6 being bent. However, they said they have only received nine reports of such an instance happening. This seems a bit weird considering how many Youtube videos and forum posts are out there showing actual photo evidence that iPhone 6es are being bent everywhere.

Apple says that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus “feature a precision engineered unibody enclosure constructed from machining a custom grade of 6000 series anodized aluminum, which is tempered for extra strength… They also feature stainless steel and titanium inserts to reinforce high stress locations and use the strongest glass in the smartphone industry. We chose these high-quality materials and construction very carefully for their strength and durability. We also perform rigorous tests throughout the entire development cycle including 3-point bending, pressure point cycling, sit, torsion, and user studies. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use.”

What do you think? Is iPhone bending actually rare? Or is Apple playing down the number of complaints that are actually out there? Let us know in the comments.
