You Can Bend an iPhone 6 Plus With Your Bare Hands! [Video]

Earlier today we warned users that the iPhone 6 could bend in your pocket. Adding credibility to that report is a new video that shows it's possible to bend an iPhone 6 Plus with your bare hands.

After seeing images of bent iPhone 6 Plus devices, Unbox Therapy noticed that their device had a slight bend in it as well. To confirm the reports, the channel decided to perform the bare hand test you can watch below.

They found it fairly easy to put a significant bend in the device. The weak spot seems to be around the buttons rather than the center of the phone.

Apple has yet to comment on the problem and users trying to get a replacement have had mixed results. If you've purchased the new iPhone, we strongly suggest you use a little more care when carrying it.

Please follow iClarified on X, Facebook, or RSS to find out if Apple addresses these concerns.

Take a look below!

Okay, if someone can give me a phone to bend, I can definitely bend it specially if you put the focus of the pressure on a specific corner (rather as a whole in the middle). Sadly it's a fail attempt to pay someone to discredit a company.

Pardon? Not quite... trying to figure out how it "could" bend was the point. The video didn't criticize Apple in any way and actually supported their position that the iPhone6 won't bend significantly with typical use.

Get a case if you're rough with your phone and simply be careful. Lever forces increase when the span of a material increases. It's not made of hardens steel. I'm sure people are sitting on them or just not using common sense. Aluminum bends, doesn't matter who manufactures it.

I smell a recall... never do the first batch. In the world of technology, first batches are the broken eggs before the omelet. Those paying high prices for early units might find issues.

So Apple is replacing the bent iPhones according to The Next Web, I wonder how many times they allow you to do this !

gtdnerd - September 25, 2014 at 9:35am

Well I can bend almost everything, just tried it ..., amazing!

You can bend Nearly everything!, but if the intelligence is not enough to use it for it is,the humanity goes back to the stone age!.

The point is not that this phone or that phone can bend if you take your hands and try to bend it... The problem with the iPhone plus is its bending in people's pockets... Again my note 3 is in my pocket every day and it has never been deformed or bent. . Lmfao

That's because people have scammed this attempt that it will bend. To me though, I carried around a 6 but no matter what I do with it, it is impossible to bend.

It's funny that you haven't check your own video for having two different time before posting it. I could see that in this video you could rewind time, but I don't see how could that be possible without editing or crapping the video. Just a thought.

Jack black - September 24, 2014 at 9:56pm

Haha I'm sticking with note 3

Jack black - September 24, 2014 at 10:02pm

Snaps no replaceable battery yes

gamerscul9870 - September 24, 2014 at 10:04pm

Actually yes replacaple battery but she'll is what's only replaced.

IPhone 3GS cracks if sat on, Iphone 4 bends if sat on or use two hands to bend, iPhone 5 bends if you use two hands to bend phone, iphone 6 bends if you use two hands to bends. Galaxy snaps in half if you try to bend it... What's the moral of this story? NOT A EFFING THING LIKE THIS VIDEO!!!

Lin - September 24, 2014 at 8:36pm

When he was trying to bend the phone,the home screen shows 2 different time...Ur Fake!!

Carlos Baião - September 24, 2014 at 8:29pm

I don't get what all the fuss is about...it's not as if there arn't any alternatives!...so,you don't like the iphone or apple?!...well,just by something else!!!!...helo?!...it's not like they make you do this it's a free world,live and let live!...

Personally, i know the fact that Apple doesnt rush with new technology, didnt have that much of problems using it. The few things that bothered me the most were late on LTE(iphone 5), and now the phone bends.. The reasons i tend to go for iphones are apps availability and their customer services. Hopefully they give us a good solution about this bending otherwise im reselling my 6 plus.

What do the people expect??? Such a great design with Top Technology inside - where should the stiffness come from? I find it great and it's ok for me - always again!

justabrake - September 24, 2014 at 4:22pm

Bring it back to apple and get a refund !

Nuck Chorris - September 24, 2014 at 9:46pm

But it's sooooooooo popular. I just have to have it. What will my friends think?

calichat - September 24, 2014 at 4:01pm

Apple dont even think about this problem could occur on big size phone. Oh lets make one big phone since everyone already made them. And sell them for more money...just funny as hell.

What? - September 24, 2014 at 3:39pm

Oh Apple.. I am getting bored with your "innovations"

Tom123 - September 24, 2014 at 3:36pm

You can bend a lot of things like a 50 inch Led TV or a spoon, Fork , but is it manufatured for this kind of thing?.
