I'm just gonna assume this is what happens when you don't let your employees field test the product for fear they'll leave it in a bar on accident.

as in, you don't get a proper version of the all important drunken bar-pocket durability test

or maybe making a pocket device out of increasingly thin and long aluminum isn't the best idea

does this only happen with the 6plus

also I don't really understand the physics. if it is in your pocket it should be against your leg. your leg is usually pretty flat. I wear some hella tight pants and am kinda overweight and my leg isn't going to bend my phone


what the gently caress is up with these people's legs

does anyone that has watched the bending video actually believe other phones would be unscathed if you applied that sort of pressure?

i think the 4S would eventually crack and fail more catastrophically, but it would be sturdier all the way up to that point, which i think is an okay trade-off

Actually, i just tested this out with a ruler. If you're sitting in a chair and you bend your knees/move your feet back, your thigh will curve like gently caress. I can totally see how this will gently caress up your 6/6+ with tight enough pants.

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

depends on which side cracks i guess. if you bend a 6+ and the screen doesnt break you can probably bend it back and suffer little more than cosmetic damage which shouldnt be a problem to the fat ugly people that buy a 6+ in the first place
