Apparently they are using the new technique of "Bendology" so advanced is this technique that some new users have mistaken it for a flaw. Come on own up, who's got bendy phone?

Reads like a design flaw to me.

Apple do seem to have a couple of core problems.

It's ultra thin, which is a brilliant piece of cutting edge design. As long as you always keep in in a half inch thick metal case there's no problem.

Apple quickly issues iOS 8.0.2 update and now I can't bend my iPhone!

i won't consider buying one then, it'd spend most of its short life being dropped

I wonder when apple products will start to stand for spendthrift gullibility instead of the height of fashion?

[anotheoldgit]

Can anyone explain to me why some will queue for days even travel to the other side of the Earth and then pay a ridiculous sum of money so as to own one of these phones, when there are other makes on the market which do an equally good job and are much cheaper?

aog, it is fashionable consumerism, Western civilisations contribution to enlightenment and guiltless narcissism.

how stupid are some people - you have a very thin device - so don't put it in your back pocket and then sit down!
next they'll be issuing advice such as "don't hit with a lump hammer - may smash" or "please do not throw this device on a fire - it may explode"

[chelle7272]

Apparently this happens when you put it in a front pocket - why would you do that?
