Imagine getting your new iPhone 6 Plus; checking out all the features, playing some apps, and tweeting on your new phone (about your new phone, of course).  Your excitement is overflowing, preventing you from sleeping before the next school day where you’ll be able to show off the phone in all its glory.  You head to school with the phone in your pocket and wait until the end of the first class to pull it out and…

BOOM.

The top of your brand new iPhone 6 Plus is slightly bent, like a piece of perfectly flat paper that got caught in a door.  This was the horror that a few people encountered when they found their iPhones bending on them.  At first, no one knew why it was happening.  Soon after, though, they started to piece it together: having your phone in your pocket seemed to bend the frame.

Besides Apple stating that it was nearly impossible for someone to bend their iPhone 6 Plus without exerting a ton of force, people were still worried.  As the news gained a viral following, people started to attempt bending their own phones to see if it was true.  It seems rather moronic to want to try and ruin your new phone, but people can do whatever they want with their phones.  Most people couldn’t do it and gave up, while others were able to do it, but not easily.

So how did the few people that did find their iPhone 6 Plus bent in their pockets get like that?  Many theories have been popping up, but the one that seems to be the most reasonable is that the people who bent their phones were probably sitting down with their phones in their pockets for long amounts of time.  Especially if they were the kind of people that kept their phones in their back pocket.
