| Is the iPhone 6 Plus easy to bend |
SAN FRANCISCO — If you notice your new iPhone is a little bent out of shape when you pull it out of your pocket, you may not be seeing things.
Apple's new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which boast aluminum shells for lightness, apparently live up to that other characteristic of aluminum: malleability.
Reports of bent iPhone 6 and 6 Plus handsets are popping up on social media, and one product reviewer posted a video showing how far the larger frame can bend if one really, really tries.
On Twitter, it's being called #BendGate and #Bendghazi.
So far there has been no official response from Apple.
Russell Holly, 29, decided to examine his new, silver iPhone 6 after seeing online reports of bent iPhones.
He noticed it wobbled on a flat surface. Then he compared it to the other iPhone 6 he bought. The bend was unmistakable. His confidence in the iPhone shaken, the mobile editor for Geek.com returned the phone.
"Smartphones are not invulnerable objects," he said. "I've dropped more than my fair share of them, and I have seen other smartphones become damaged when people sit on them or worse."
But, said the father of three: "As an iPhone owner, this is a deal-breaker for me. I can't own a device that I have to treat with such extreme care."
