iPhone 6 Bending - Reviews Warn Owners Not To Keep New Device In Pants Pocket, Will Cause Warping

Some very disturbing reports and reviews have come to forth only a few days after the release of Apple's new iPhone models, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. According to some early adopters, if kept in your front pocket for an extended period of time, the device actually starts to warp, bending in the process to change the shape of the brand new phone. Clearly this is something that Apple should've seen coming, right?

Gizmodo found one specific complaint from an iPhone user on the MacRumors forums, detailing how an extended time spent in his front pocket caused the device to bend.

"Yesterday, I left at 10am with the iPhone in my left FRONT pocket of my suit pants. I drove 4 hours to a wedding, which also involved a lot of sitting during dinner etc but also 2-3 hours of dancing," the consumer wrote. "I left at 2am and went to bed, driving home 4 hours back. So in total, the 6 Plus was about 18 hours in my pocket while sitting mostly. As I lay it on the coffee table and sat down on the couch to relax from the drive (yes, sitting again), I saw the reflection of the window in the iPhone's slightly distorted. Now I lay it flat with the display side on the table, take a look. Maybe at 5.5" it is too thin?"

This and other consumers are complaining that just sitting down with the phone in their pockets has caused the device to warp. We can blame this on the aluminum body of the iPhone, considering the screen seems to remain unscathed by this. But be careful because Wired interviewed display expert and president of DisplayMate, Raymond Soneira, who stated: "LCDs are made with delicate front and back glass panels. Even if they don't break, putting mechanical stress on them could affect the critical alignment between the front and back glass layers, which would then significantly affect the display performance and image quality."
