Will it bend? iPhone 6 takes a turn for the worse

The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may be thinner and larger, but reports are emerging that the aluminium construction has left some users bent out of shape
It's been on shelves for a matter of days, but some iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users are complaining of a major design flaw that sees the smartphone body bend under pressure.

Photos have begun appearing online showing distinctly bent aluminium devices, with complaints that the new iterations of the iPhone, which feature a thinner and larger aluminium body, are unable to stand up to the wear and tear of staying in a pocket.

"First World Problems"?

The media fans the hype to make consumerism worse, telling folks they've got to have the newest tech toys as soon as they hit shelves, making the problem of poor pre-release testing hit far more people than it otherwise would.

get the red out

for the latest phone, you would think they would at least buy a really protective case for it.
