The bigger screens but thinner bodies of Apple’s new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
models have come at the cost of rigidity, according to owners who say
they bent while being carried in trouser pockets.
The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may be thinner and larger, but reports are emerging that the aluminum construction has left some users bent out of shape.
It's been on shelves for a matter of days, but some iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users are complaining of a major design flaw that sees the smartphone body bend under pressure.
Photos have begun appearing online showing distinctly bent aluminium devices, with complaints that the new iterations of the iPhone, which feature a thinner and larger aluminium body, are unable to stand up to the wear and tear of staying in a pocket.
well it's just a rumor that iphone 6 plus really bends due to it's size .
firstly there was no official announcement by apple inc. about it's bending .
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus chassis is milled from a solid piece of
aluminium alloy whose composition is secret. The weak area of the phone
appears to be around the volume buttons, where the frame is at its
thinnest and creates a fulcrum point around which the phone bends.
Surprisingly, the screen does not break when the phone bends – though it
does if the phone is then bent back to a flat profile.

What really the problem is ?

- To stop the phone bending, users need to ensure that they do not put increased pressure on the middle of the phone.
- For example, do not have it sideways in a pocket, as your pocket will push it against your leg, possibly causing bending.Putting
it in your back pocket could also have a similar effect, so storing it
in a shirt pocket or bag might be a better option.
- Another
option would be to make sure you have a case for the phone so that it
can maintain its rigidity even when pressure is applied.
