Still wanna brag about owning an iPhone 6, Justin Bieber?
Across the country, iPhone 6 users have been complaining that their brand new pieces of supposedly amazing technology actually bending – and this is not meant to be one of the phone’s cool new features, that’s for certain.
Why is this taking place?
Because new iPhone is so darn light and thin, placing it in one’s back or front pocket – and having it remain there for a long period of time – can lead to a warped device.
See, the iPhone 6 is just over a quarter inch thick and is mostly of aluminum, which is a very malleable material.
says Raymond Soneira, a display expert and president of DisplayMate, to Wired Magazine:
"LCDs are made with delicate front and back glass panels. Even if they don’t break, putting mechanical stress on them could affect the critical alignment between the front and back glass layers, which would then significantly affect the display performance and image quality."
To prevent the iPhone 6 from bending, don’t wear tight pants and/or don’t keep the phone in your pocket for an extended period of time.
Fortunately, however, you CAN drop your iPhone 6.
We don’t recommend doing so, but this excited patron learned (the scary way) that the phone will survive a fall:
