Does this mean that if Samsung makes a foldable phone, Apple will sue them for stealing the idea?
LG is safe... As they said... Their's will flex.. Intentionally.. Wait... What about clam shell devices?? Will apple now file for a patent on devices That fold up on themselves??

Crap. I just got an email from some young twerp named A. Einstein at the patent office. He rejected my submittal for a folding phone because Apple took out a patent on it in 1903.

People who take this seriously, should check themselves in.


IDK ... The effortless fashion in which it appears this phone bends can't be ignored IMO

[URLiPhone 6 Plus: The Bend Uncut:
Now will this be an issue for the averages persons use? Who knows ... but it's possible some folks will experience some sort of bending. Maybe not as extreme as this, but nonetheless, the phone has proven to bend rather easily.

Moto should use that as an ad campaign...the new Moto X (Gen 2) looked pretty good in that video.

I wouldn't sink my $800 into it.

I'd like to know how many phones are actually being bent by normal use. I know they are easier to bend than most phones, but is it something that should keep someone from buying a 6 or 6+ if they like the phone otherwise?

As of the last bend test video, it was only nine with normal use. It's a small issue now, but I guarantee Apple is taking note.

Exactly. Those who found out from it bending in their pocket deserve a replacement. Those going world's strongest man on their phones should not get anything. Especially as of late where you can just buy a case. But maybe I'm being too harsh and not understanding those who think it is cool to try and break their 700 phones on YouTube. ;)
