The iPhone 6 Plus is receiving criticism
On Twitter and Facebook, many iPhone 6 Plus users are complaining that their smartphone is bending. Is that correct?
With the iPhone 6 Plus, Apple has launched the same time with the new iPhone 6, an additional edition with an even larger display on the market. Many have struck directly at the prospect of a 5.5 inch retina display. But now come on the Internet complaints. Because the largest and at the same time the thinnest iPhone model should bend when worn in your pocket .
Various complaints have already been posted on Twitter and Facebook. The longer the iPhone 6 Plus is worn in your pocket, the worse it should bend.
To get to the bottom of the truth, Lewis Hilsenteger, known by the internet show 'Unbox Therapy', has made his own iPhone 6 Plus and dared the test on the example. In the video below, he takes his smartphone in both hands and starts at first slightly, then more strongly, to press against it. The result: The iPhonee 6 Plus actually bends. Just at the buttons seems to be a small vulnerability of the device.
Apple has not commented on these allegations. But in the net is already eager comment. The iPhone is already the subject of many jokes. Here is just a small selection of Twitter.

For smartphones that adapt to the shape of the buttocks, some would pay a fortune. Oh. # iPhone6

However, those who now have a bent iPhone 6 Plus have little to laugh about. For these there is only one tip: The iPhone should bent once not be bent back. So the smartphone would only take more damage.
