Yeah, if i did get the new iPhone, it surely wouldn't be that huge ass thing. I'd have to get the smaller version, and i don't use my cellphone until i have installed an OtterBox, due to me working outdoors. I currently still have the original 5, and barely use half of the features that it has. Can't really see why i'd need a 6, until my 5 dies.

There is definatley a premium price applied to the product now because of its status in public opinion. i certainly like there eco system and products, but theyve more than priced me out of the market for a it. Not that i couldnt afford it but I would never spend that much on a phone, they live in your pocket and they do get scratched and damage, well before these 2 year contracts run out. 

Consoles also last a good 5+ years without being made obsolete.

Cases should be purely optional. Phones should be built well enough to withstand real world situations.

iPhone 6 seems to be fine. Video from same user. Issue is mainly isolated to the 6+ due to it's overly large size.

iPhone 6 stood up to the same testing as the HTC One M8, New Moto X and a Nokia Lumia (Not sure of model, but it looks like a 1020).

New Moto is badass though. Top notch build quality.

Btw, the iPhone 6 seems to be a slippery bugger. I've owned the 4 & the 5 and didn't think they were that slippery, but with 6 the first thing that happened at the shop is it slipped and hit the table... fortunately not from too much height .

That's why I bought a nice, cheap bestbuy brand case. transparent back and silver sides. Looks great, improves grip and allows me to place it face down without worry. Oh yeah, it protects the buttons too and still allows you to show off the great look of your new device. Great case for a low price.

Maybe someone pointed this out to already cause only on page 1, but he does the exact same test with the Note 3 and you can see that he actually uses way more force than he did with the Iphone and the note 3 barely barely barely bent.  

Happens with all phones?  I don't recall ever hearing in my life a phone bending.  Never even considered it to be a risk or problem.  I never use a case for my phones and never had one bend at all.  Always use in my front pocket.  I don't wear skinny jeans, but at times with a phone in a pocket (with how big they are these days) and sitting down, at timse it sure feels like i have skinny jeans on.

I watched that video and commented, but yes, many phones have stories of them breaking from bending. I even posted a link. Breaking/bending isn't an iPhone exclusive feature.

Only a few posts up I posted a new video from the user that shows the iPhone6 does not suffer the same issue as the iPhone 6+. It stands up just as much as a HTC One M8. New MotoX is straight up beast though. Might have to do with the convex design of the backing too.

People need to realize A.) iPhone 6+ is HUGE. B.) iPhone 6+ is incredibly thin. C.) iPhone 6+ is flat backed and aluminum.

It was bound to bend. It's part of why I went with the smaller 6. I don't care much for phablets.

iPhone 6+ needs to be made with thicker aluminum casing and needs to be a thicker device overall.

And here my $20 flip phone is as solid as a rock.
