iPhone 6 Prone to Warping (thesurge.net)

I've had for a year a Galaxy S4 which is as big as a iPhone 6, and usually have it in my front pocket, and it doesn't wrap: I just remove it from the pocket when I must sit with a pocket too small in a cramped space.

Are iPhone users just dumb? I plan to buy an iPhone 6 plus. Will I become as dumb?


Does this make you change your mind if you were considering purchasing the iPhone 6?

A similar test of the Galaxy Note 3 is showing that the Note is much more resistant to warping.


Nope. The first thing I would do is put it in reinforced card case anyway, and I don't wear skinny jeans with tight pockets that would apply torque to the phone.


I think that's a good point, any reinforced case would likely prevent this from happening. I'm guessing we will probably see Apple offering free cases again as they did with the iPhone 4 if it is a common enough problem.
