iPhone 6s bending in back pockets

Shock horror, apply pressure to metal and it bends, just like was able to be done to the 5 or 5s (or any other metal framed phone). What do people think will happen when you apply pressure to a thin piece of metal?

A quick google:

Just for those who don't get it, sitting on a phone isn't good for it.

I don't think people applied pressure for the fun of it or sat on their phones but I could be wrong, iPhone users are a completely different species.

Pretty much this. I wouldn't put any phone in my back pocket, whether it's an iPhone, an Android or a Nokia from the 90s.

Besides the fact that it can't be good for it and that it's much easier for someone to pickpocket, wouldn't it just be uncomfortable?

It's a good thing that the Note 3 didn't bend the same way as the iPhone. Apple just might have sued Samsung if it did.

You know how many people tried to claim some of the Galaxy line were inherently faulty because their LCD screens spontaneously cracked? Along the lines of "I just took the phone out my pocket and there was a crack in the screen", same idiotic logic- "it's not my fault" as those jamming a large thin metal phone into a back pocket...
 
It also looks like it's more of a problem for the 6 Plus, here is a crazy guy trying his hardest to bend an iPhone 6 (and failing).

Dying to know what a Moto X feels like now.

Will be awesome if the Nexus 6 is based on this.

Maybe next time the sheep won't line up to buy this overpriced crap that has such terrible design flaws. iPhone4 - antenna problems, but no you are holding it the wrong way. Dat iCloud leaks. iPhone6, don't keep it in your pocket, you will just give your phone a curvy look. I can't even pretend to have sympathy for the saps that had this happen to them.

Hopefully this will be another nail in Steve Job's coffin.
 
I used to put my cellphone in my back pocket, until I sat on it and bend it. Nokia 6110 something.

Now I carry it in my front pocket. Never will I put a phone in my back pocket again. Lesson learnt.

Phone was damaged. Luckily my contract matured, so it was possible to upgrade to a new phone....

Many mentions of back pocket but the guy in the video specifically mentions bending in front pocket. Anyway, the frame could have been strengthened in the design phase and likely will be for future devices.

This.

People are defending it based on it being put in back pockets (which would be an idiotic thing to do) but the articles I've read state that the phones have bent in front pockets (which is where you'd expect a phone to be placed)
