you mean when bloodborne, The Order 1886, Dying Light and possibily (more like hoping for) either tearaway unfolded or The Tomorrow children would have all released?

my Galaxy W and Sony Z1 compact havent bent either. my brothers Z, lumia havent either. my dads note hasnt either. its just like with the Apply 4 with the faulty signal issue, people are gonna point it "hey, its normal, it happens to other phones too" just to try had the fact that apple has screwed over millions with a shaming faulty device.

I had an all metal htc one and it did not bend! Maybe it wasn't large enough cause it was a 4.7 inch phone and not 5.5 like 6+

I just tried as well with my HTC One...and absolutely nothing happened. No sounds, no creaking, no flex what so ever. It's not because of the metal that the Iphone bends, apparently it's because the metal isnt reinforced with some sort of magnesium framing structure...something which other metal phones have.

The new HTC One (M8) is a bit bigger than the HTC One and it also doesnt bend.

The thinness of the Iphone 6 plus definitely adds to the problem though. Other phones are not that thin.

i'm surprised how many people bought the darn thing so soon after release... that's nuts to me... its just a phone

Yep, that sounds about the right time to buy a PS4.

I dont see this as too much of an issue. People have no reason to be putting that much strain on their phone. The phone should be fine in your pocket, provided you are not doing some sort of funny, weird sitting positions etc. and actually trying to bend it.

It's also been said that not all devices are as weak as others. I really dont think this "issue" should be something you consider when making a purchasing decision. Most people take very good care of expensive smartphones.

an expensive one. what i started doing when buying a phone is waiting for the newest model to come out, and buy last years high end flagship. i waited for the Z2 to come out and bought the Z1 compact. i buy a quality device for much, much cheaper.

Tight pants are in, though!

that's a good plan, hopefully the z4 is out when I'm getting a new phone so I can get a z3 for a reasonable price lol
