"Hi, my name is Akatosh, and I am a disillusioned iPhone 6 Plus owner." 😛

I wonder what their final count will be.
 
Meh, I would bet serious money that over half of those claims are bent on purpose. Not saying that it doesn't bend, but some of those are ridiculous.

Why would someone pay out hundreds of dollars for a phone just to bend it? It's not like the several hundred people on that blog are getting anything out of having a bent phone.

The bending on ALOT of those phones are similar, if not identical to, the bending by hand seen in the numerous videos showing "how the phone bends".
People are jack-asses. I am willing to bet that many of these morons wanted to see how it bends for themselves.
Seriously, you have more faith in humanity than I do. People are stupid.

Again, not saying that an aluminum chassis isn't prone to bending, & many of those pics look legit, but many also look ridiculously bent. Not from "normal use"

See, here is the thing. For many of those "bends", the phone would have to be in your pocket sideways. OR, in your back pocket and sat on.

Because that's exactly where the weak point of the phone is.
That's exactly what people have been complaining, that the phone has a weak point just below the volume button and is prone to bending there.

You didn't seriously think that people were saying that the phone was bendy all the way down as if it was made of rubber did you?

I'd be curious to see if it's really a widespread issue. The website is for nine bent phones...out of over 10 million sold. So maybe it's user error, maybe it's poor design, but it doesn't sound like it's happening to the majority of the people like say the purple haze was:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/adriank...le-says-iphone-5-purple-lens-flare-is-normal/

This was Apple's BS response:

Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

And yet somehow - magically - my iPhone 5S (newer model) has zero purple flare. Go figure! 😛
 
I'm more interested in the bent phone that they got out of the display case at the apple store. It wasn't owned by anybody and wasn't in anybody's pocket, yet still bent. If true, then that's implying there's something maybe heat related that's affecting the frame.

Seems very odd.

You don't think that maybe, just maybe, someone bent the phone in the store on purpose with their hands?
 
I stopped reading after the guy claimed to walk into an Apple store, saw 3 bent iPhones on display, and didn't even take a picture of this. Really?

I can believe that the ones in the shop are bent. People are much more likely to be dicks with stuff that they don't own.
