So anyone hear about the iPhone 6+ and bending problems?
I follow the practice of buying phones ~3 months after release.
LOOK AT THIS
Yeah, that is a major problem haha, I wonder if Apple's addressed it yet though. It'd be enough to definitely turn me away from the phone.

I heard about the bending. However, I think it's probably about time we need bigger jean pockets ya know?

Apple's been pushing me to update to 8.0.2 for a while now. It's getting annoying but I'm not gonna risk it. lmao.

Turns out bendgate isn't as bad as it looks.

I have updated my 5s to 8.0.2. No problems so far, in fact my Wi-Fi feels quite a bit faster and battery life has certainly improved a little. Not sure about other devices though.

The bending thing might be a bit of a media hoax after all, Apple's only had about a dozen reports of bent phones, supposedly. That's the power of social media for you.

I downloaded 8.0.2 on my 6 and it's just fine so far. Really worked out all the bugs as far as I can tell.
