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?
It's not really a pocketable phone. Even in my sweatpants (trendy!) it proved so heavy it ended up dragging them down past my ass in the style many kids are rocking nowadays, except I don't rock the underwear or have the ass definition to pull off the look. Like an iPad, it's better placed in a bag. With everything else, really. Carrying stuff in your pockets is a pain in the arse and a great way to lose stuff.
I'm interested to know why you employ two spelling variations of ass/arse. Does each cheek identify to different naming conventions?
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…
Especially for varying definitions of "sitting", which may involve constantly jittering on one's chair or being in a habit of regularly hurling oneself into a sofa.

When the antena gate happens with iPhone 4 Apple gives bundle cases to their customers, I wonder if this time they will give new pants. :)
No, they will automatically add the new Justin Bieber album to every iTunes user's profile.
The 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.
I'd be mildly hysterical too, the 6 is a phone that'll sell 100m units within its first six months and already sold 10m in its first weekend. If some of those units are based on a faulty design, that's a really big deal affecting tens of millions of people and tens of billions of sales.

It is a brand new, $1000 consumer device. As haughty and rich as we all present ourselves, it really supremely sucks if you're the person whose brand new device got bent -- regardless of your available spending cash, it's a major bummer, moreso if you have a 2 year contract ahead of you and a dead device. That is why there is a "hysteria".
Gorilla glass (not sure if the iPhone uses that brand specifically, but they use ion enhanced glass which is what it is) famously bends.
