It is not the first time that this type of problem has been reported with the iPhone screen. In fact, many users took photos of their iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s and 5c that after being in the back pockets of their pants ended up looking like this. And it does not seem that the iPhone 6 Plus becomes the exception to the norm in the saga of Apple smartphones. Rather the complete opposite. Despite having been on the market for days, and still not being official in Spain, there are already those who have had the pleasure of trying it, and the displeasure of finding this when they get home.
In principle, it is true that almost all the telephones that we we put in the back pocket they suffer when we sit on them. Although it could be said that current screens are much more resistant, and in the case of the 6 iPhone Plus there are already many tests that certify it, it does not seem that it is immune to this fact. A fact that in any case can be easily solved, it is enough that we avoid keeping the terminal in our pocket when we sit down. But there is a reason that would explain why the larger phone suffered more from this fact.
El iPhone 6 Plus size It is a very relevant factor when it comes to finding deformations like the ones in the image because it is carried in the back pocket. It should be remembered that in addition, it is not only Apple's largest phone, but it has also reduced its thickness proportionally, and both variables, that it is larger and thinner, make it less resistant in this regard. Although it withstands the tests better than other of its brothers, in this sense it seems that Apple is going to have to launch new plans in which future phablets are its substitutes. And in the meantime, it is better to remove the iPhone 6 Plus from our pocket, otherwise you will run the risk of ending up like this.
But are there really people who put a cell phone in their back pocket and SIT ON IT ??
In the macrumors thread where the owner recounts the incident, he clearly says that he carried it in his front pocket. The thing in the back pocket is a new Cristinada just out of her fanboy head to justify apple. There is a limit between the opinion and inventing things Cristina ... I did not think that this was a fiction blog
For me, as a follower of Apple for many years, it is not justifiable that a mobile phone of at least € 700 is doubled in the pocket that carries it. Apple is declining a lot and, I am afraid that since they are not scared, after my iPhone 5s I will have to look at other alternatives. As the apple company continues on this path, it will lose followers at a good rate.
I love the "can be solved easily, just avoid keeping the terminal in your pocket when we sit down."
Of course, with 2 balls. And the antennagate was solved by not touching the specific point that caused the coverage to be lost. Why are we going to demand that a 700 euro cell phone be well designed? No no, if it bends it is because you put it in your pocket, get it out of there.
And I go ahead in case any of you, nobels of literature, correct me: normalize = normalito.
Let's see Nicolas, you're very upset. You can wear it however you want but a mobile has to be designed to be carried in the front pocket without affecting its usefulness and shape. And there are people who attest that, by carrying it for several hours in the front pocket, it folds. And that, my smug friend, is a quality defect. And instead of making absurd analogies with airplanes that, in addition to being irrelevant, bring it to us, you should do them with similar models like the Note that in 4 editions I have never read a similar incident in the press.
PS: Cristina, if you had a little respect for your work and for the readers, you would edit the news by putting the truth. But it is clear that this is asking too much of you.
Tell me more, MACHOTE !!!!
Nicolas ... I suppose that when you say slenderness you mean the cross section of the frame, and if in order for it to continue offering SUFFICIENT BENDING RESISTANCE (having decreased the thickness) you do not increase the transverse base and / or change the material (its specific resistance to the traction / compression) its resistant modulus decreases (Rx) then YOU HAVE FUCKED IT WITH THE DESIGN ... with what, I think we must be able to consider that, since other mobiles with the same size (and therefore similar use) do not have this problem… APPLE HAS FUCKED IT WHERE IT IS MOST PRESUMED: DESIGN. (apart from those wonderful back bands and that camera that protrudes on one side and that, without a cover, cannot be used on a flat surface) ...
They said the same about 5s and I have it and it has never been doubled as it also appeared in a photo or anything like that, besides being sensible to blow bagpipes it occurs to him to sit on top of a € 700 phone or he does not know what The screens also break due to pressure, and for the record I have a physical job and I walk up and down all day and carry the iPhone in my pocket all day without the result that you see in the photos
According to the sadness, that is to see things objectively, it is only necessary for the engineer Nicolas to refute you in his own field, if he can.
I'm with you Nicolas. Meme people have memos problems. If we throw an iPhone 6 Mega plus from a fifth, it will surely bend ... I have seen a rock bending the mobile with all its might and of course it bends ... I imagine that if they burn it with gasoline it will ignite and if they throw it from a fifth it will shatter ... a € 800 mobile is not made for an ass weighing more than 140kg, I imagine, so be careful with carrying it in your back pocket, as well as making it easier for it to be stolen, and there it is. It will give you the same thing that bends or resists the blades of the Thermomix ... you really are incredible ...
Expanding on my previous message; Specifically, I have read a case of a boy who, after putting it in his FRONT pocket and driving for 4 hours (I would take it out of my pocket for convenience, but it is not uncommon to carry it on me either), attending a wedding (standing, dancing, sitting, etc) and then driving back another 4 hours, upon arriving home he detects that the mobile is visibly bent at the top.
Now you can continue with NASA and San Pedro.
Well, that case of an iPhone 6 plus is curious, more than anything because it is not yet for sale in Spain. Sorry Juan.
I have not said that it was a 6 plus, nor that it was in Spain. Anyway.
So if we are talking about an iPhone 6 plus, I don't know what to do to talk about another case ... Well excuse me ... I don't want to misbehave ... Anyway, in my case, I wouldn't buy an iPhone 6 plus in case the flies ... although I think all this is public or manure that they are throwing against apple.
Are you a telecom? Well, let me get rid of your knowledge (I wouldn't say the same if you were an industrialist). You are still stubborn that the phone doubles with having it in your pocket or heating it with eggs and as a consumer you feel offended (if you want to defend us all, you go to the OCU to ask them for work). And another thing, it is not a failure that a naturally aspirated car does not work underwater, just as it is not a failure that some retard without common sense puts a phone with those dimensions in a tiny pocket or puts it in his pocket. pocket and dedicate yourself to doing abs with it, and then go cry to blogs and social networks that you have doubled. Learn to distinguish what is a failure, if a phone is not capable of making calls it is a failure, because a phone is designed to make calls. If the same phone does not satisfy you as a sex toy it is NOT a fault because it was NOT designed for it. And I make it clear to you again that these stories about bending phones and exploding batteries must be taken with a grain of salt.
The aluminum rear part is bent, Cristina. Really, look, I don't usually go in to criticize, but your thing goes from dark brown ... Between how rabidly simple and anodyne the entries you make are, and things like this.
I repeat, do not confuse that the aluminum casing bends, with the screen itself, because the front is NOT where the applied tension is appreciated ...
It seems absurd to me that it is checking to see if it bends when you sit on it. Would qioem think of sitting on top of the mobile? That they also prove what happens if it sneaks into the toilet, it may also happen to someone ...
Ridiculous iphone6 plus
Nicolas, congratulations on being an industrial engineer of the lot !!! I am a system engineer and it is clear that engineering looks for the perfection of a product in every positive or negative detail ... It is clear that a phone is carried in the pocket for hours and not hung around the neck (although some do), and the design consists of taking accordingly its uses by the final consumers ... Very humbly we will have to see the turning point of the design of this phone and correct the design error or improve the materials. It is not just enough to be pretty, but functional.
