I can't understand how having the same happen in your pants wouldn't indicate that maybe you should take your phone out or adjust your trousers.
And I will beat you to the you are wearing your pants wrong joke.
Ungrateful peasants. They are privileged to use the world's best phone and complain about such benign issues. > Clearly if I got the plus I'd never be able to sit at a table with it. This is bringing back the holster. This should be the preferred way for hipsters to wear their apparel.
I currently have a Galaxy S4 - no problems. Previous phone was a whopping-big, first generation Note - ditto. Both live/lived in my front trouser pocket.
The only device I have managed to break while in my pocket was an HP/Compaq iPaq, about 10 years ago, when I sat on a child's swing next to my son in a playground - the metal 'rope' went taught against my side and the pressure cracked the screen.
Edit: For a bit of objectivity, what was the last phone that received this level of attention for being prone to bending in tight pockets - has there been one?
That's a shame, and not something I've experienced with my Galaxy Notes of various generations. You'd think it would be tested for this sort of thing. Though who knows, maybe some folks have had problems with these devices and it's just not widely reported. Given the high profile launches and expectations of flawlessness from Apple (rightly or wrongly), it may well come under increased scrutiny.
I think we're at least going to have to put an asterix on the tale of the guy that bent his phone in his pants pockets. Until it's been reliably reproduced, I for one won't be jumping to any conclusions.

As a counter-point, independant testing indicates that the iPhone 6(+) is the toughest iPhone yet: http://blogs.wsj.com/personal-technology/2014/09/22/iphone-6...

This guy seems to exert a lot of force for it to bend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znK652H6yQM#t=34 I can't understand how having the same happen in your pants wouldn't indicate that maybe you should take your phone out or adjust your trousers.

In all seriousness. Why do people stand in those lines? What can you do with the phone that you can't do with another phone? Is it just a material thing?

Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
> I do think that putting your phone in your front pocket is typical Correct. And for, hm, probably 99.98% of the 10m iPhone 6 users created over the weekend, that isn't an issue. You're drawing a misleading comparison between putting your iPhone in your pocket and it becoming bent out of shape. What happens when you put your phone in your pocket is crucial: exerting sufficient pressure to bend (as opposed to flex) t…
Think about the person that waited in one of those long lines that I dont understand and now their walking around with a warped cell phone. In all seriousness. Why do people stand in those lines? What can you do with the phone that you can't do with another phone? Is it just a material thing?
Its kinda like going to a convention except much smaller, and far more jam packed.
