#2The mild level of hysteria over this has been interesting. It's a slab of thin aluminium that has a large surface area, a consistent amount of pressure is going to cause bending. I'm personally surprised that the glass didn't crack on some of the pictures.

True, but I would assume that most people have a reasonable expectation that their phones will not get damaged in typical usage scenarios. And yes, I do think that putting your phone in your front pocket is typical. In my view that means that there is a design flaw.

#5It's amazing that people think nothing can happen to a phone.
Years ago I sold phones. People wanted money back because they drowned a Nokia in the toilet. Or complained the device stopped working after they dropped it from a great hight.
Nowadays people complain something will bend when you apply a lot of force to it.

It's not an unreasonable expectation seeing as a different phone of a similar form factor does not bend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FwM4...

I'm pretty sure my Galaxy Nexus would break if i applied the same pressure this guy did.

#8What was the line again? "Apple produces only high quality devices" or something?

#9Maybe the bending is a consequence of a better than average shock proof design. Not an apple fan boy here but I find hard to believe that a top selling phone would go on the market without extensive mechanical testing.

Funny, as I'm yet to meet an iPhone 4 that didn't have a smashed screen
