Has Apple gotten Justin Bieber'ed?!

[Mutiny In Heaven]

7. It's the "American flag lapel pin" of tech outrage

Honestly, is it possible to bend the phone? Sure, anyone with an interest in looking up information will find that a similarly small group of people had the same happen with the 5 and 5s, it just didn't gain traction then. They were probably too busy with "scuff gate" at that point, discovering the shocking truth that black anodised aluminium can visibly scuff if you...scuff it.

What you'll have is a few cases of defective phones - inevitable when you're shipping in small numbers, let alone the millions Apple got onto the market last week - a few cases of people getting careless and keeping the phone in their pocket when it's practically burying itself in their thigh and a few jackasses who want hits on YouTube.

It says a lot about the mainstream media that it picked this up with such breathless excitement. The botched software update was a significantly bigger deal even though that was fixed the next day.
