Multiple iPhone 6 Plus users are reporting accidental bending of their handsets while in the front pocket. Additionally, a YouTube video has surfaced on the Internet that puts the iPhone 6 Plus through the 'bend test'.
Numerous reports have appeared online citing multiple iPhone 6 Plus users who suffered accidental bending beyond repair while carrying the handset in their pockets.
A user detailed the issue on a MacRumors forum post titled, 'iPhone 6 Plus slightly bent after 2 days'. He said he'd noticed a slight bend on his iPhone 6 Plus when he kept the device in his front pocket for about 18 hours. Another user noted that his iPhone 6 Plus had bent while it was kept in the front pocket.
Following reports of bending incidences, Lewis of Unbox Therapy decided to put the iPhone 6 Plus through a bend test. In the video, Lewis is seen using just his hands for exerting pressure on the iPhone 6 Plus from the rear panel and during the course of the test, a bend is seen just below the volume rocker. Lewis points out that the place housing the power, and volume keys might be the weakest spot.
