Last week, I ordered my iPhone 6 Plus<\/em> and I\u2019ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival on my doorstep. After bragging about my purchase to a few friends, however, I got worried pretty fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt bends!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

That is what I got in response from a number of people in addition to hearing about the laughable defect in the news. With my dreams of a perfect shiny new iPhone 6 Plus in jeopardy, I did some digging and got some pretty good answers!<\/p>\n

So, does the iPhone 6 bend? The answer: it\u2019s possible, but not likely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As with any other slim electronic device made out of flexible aluminum, the phone will definitely bend in cases of EXTREME<\/em> pressure or abuse. According to this report<\/a><\/span> by Marques Brownlee, many other phones including the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 bent under extreme pressure as well.<\/p>\n

I found that the majority of cases of bent iPhones are people using olympic-crushing strength to bend the phones for views or sitting on them irregularly which would damage practically anything.<\/p>\n

If you watch the CNN bend test below, it\u2019s pretty comical watching Samuel Burke on CNNMoney<\/em> trying with all his might to bend the phone, even placing it in his pocket for a few drop kicks without being able to bend anything.<\/p>\n

The bottom line<\/strong> is that if you just handle your iPhone 6 Plus like normal person, you shouldn\u2019t have any problems. For those who are still paranoid, Wired Mag<\/span><\/a> suggests sitting with the phone face-up in your front pocket for the least chance of damage.<\/p>\n

Great! Now I feel much better. Of course I can always test it myself when my phone arrives or even better, I can ask Siri like Samuel Burke did\u2026<\/p>\n

Burke: \u201cSiri, are you bendable?”<\/em>
\nSiri: \u201cNo comment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
