    I don't get what all the fuss is about, Who cares about how it bends. I make any phone bend when I put it in my Vice.

    Not every phone bends with your bare hands, or if you put it in your back pocket. That's the thing.

    You might be surprised how easy most other phones will bend.

    Honestly I couldn't care less about phones anymore, I brought three Iphones, Every time I bought one a new device would come out 1 month later.

    The front end is inspired by the Ferrari 308, also the reason for the black line going through the car (it's not black in the drawing, it starts in the front intakes and ends in the rear diffuser). The headlights go in the front bumper, like the secondary/fog lights in 1980's supercars. Originally I'd made a rear end based slightly on a BMW M1 but it looked a bit weird so I changed it.

    Still much harder to bend than the 6+.
    The Nokia didn't even bend at all, lel.

    Yeah, but I don't really understand the big deal. It's big, thin, and light. What do you expect?

    Because it's utterly retarded for a phone to bend resting in a loose front pocket?

    It bent when people wedged them down into the pockets of skinny jeans. Like girls when they put the phone like halfway in their back pocket then sit on it. What the fuck do they expect to happen?

    A tech blogger reported his bending within 24 hours of purchase in the thigh pocket of loose combats.
    For most people, its been plain old trousers, nothing overly skinny, its bent.

    Quite alot of reviewers are turning around and saying theirs no longer rest flat on a table anymore while suffering the same treatment as rival devices.

    It just seems to be a case of iPhone 6+ being far too thin for a device with that frontal area. There is a limit to how small things should go.

    Yeah I've kinda wondered when we would reach the limit. The combination of a huge, thin phone and them trying to make it as light as possible makes for a weak phone.
    I am kinda wondering what the screen is made of to make it not crack when the phone is bent. It isn't plastic is it?

    More relevant is when the limits of silicon processors will be reached. You can only get the transistor density so much smaller before quantum shit gets real.

    Too big, too light and too thin. Apple needs to take a lesson in physics.

    Ugh. I really hate writing college application essays. The prompts are so generic. I mean, seriously? Give me something original to write about. I can use any one of my other thousand essays to fit in these prompts. I want to actually have the chance to write about something I care about. Oh well. Hopefully they just glance over my essay and focus on my grades more than my writing ability.
