When Apple initially unveiled its biggest iPhone to date — the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus — many worried the device would be too big to stuff in their pockets. Now, as it turns out, those who can fit the phone in their pocket are reportedly complaining that the phone bends after being stored there while sitting.
Just days after the phone's launch, some iPhone 6 Plus owners are reporting that their phones look slightly bent and curved from sitting in a pants pocket, according to MacRumors.
The blog claims at least two of its commenters have reported incidents in which the larger iPhone has bent out of shape after being stored in pockets. Hours after MacRumors report was published, the folks over at YouTube channel Unbox Therapy tested the iPhone 6 Plus to see if could actually bend.
The short answer is yes — when put through a stress test, the iPhone 6 Plus bent to the point that it looked as if it would snap in half. Still, it's unclear if this can happen from simply storing the phone in your pocket. Here's what it looked like after Unbox Therapy's test:
