As a counter-point, independant testing indicates that the iPhone 6(+) is the toughest iPhone yet: http://blogs.wsj.com/personal-technology/2014/09/22/iphone-6-is-the-most-durable-iphone-yet-says-insurer/ http://blogs.wsj.com/personal-technology/2014/09/22/iphone-6...
I think we're at least going to have to put an asterix on the tale of the guy that bent his phone in his pants pockets. Until it's been reliably reproduced, I for one won't be jumping to any conclusions.
- loxs 12y agoTrue, but I, on the other hand won't be jump-buying the device either :)
- antimagic 12y agoFair enough. Of course there's a bunch of us for whom the 6+ is simply too large to be putting into front pockets whether we want to or not. For us this is a total non-issue :)
- danford 12y ago>SquareTrade found that the iPhone 6 holds up impressively well in drops, spills and slips But surprisingly they didn't test bends.
- NicoJuicy 12y agoIt doesn't matter how tough it is, if i can't put it in my pocket while sitting... It's kinda useless to me.
- IkmoIkmo 12y agoDid you read the article or the headline? It doesn't mention any bending tests, but does mention tests with spills and scratches explicitly. In other words, it seems like the article has zero relevance to this particular issue. As for your second point, fair enough, I'd like to see more testing, too. But it's already been replicated numerous times, even on unedited video. All looks pretty reliable to me.
- pcarmichael 12y agoLooks like it is possible, but takes a pretty decent amount of force: http://youtu.be/znK652H6yQM http://youtu.be/znK652H6yQM
