DIY - custom curved screen - genius. Don't let a manufacturer dictate the proper amount of curve - you decide & do it yourself. Who said Apple doesn't allow customization, bringing customers something no one else does for exorbitant amounts of money - mostly for marketing.
Bull. The aluminum frame on the 5 and 5s is too thick and the glass would shatter if bent anywhere near that far. Apple needs to take more care with their releases. Seems they don't understand that having the most popular line of phones means they get scrutinized the hardest. No doubt this well get fixed and replacements will be issued, but the damage is done.

Any other phone's glass would make a crack before it'd bend. Except when you're using cheap ass crap materials like apple do.
No problems with my Moto X either They will find a way to spin it and the sheep will herd to the fix and spend $20-$30 on it.
I am only quoting don't kill me.. "Sorry but if you sit your big ass on your phone and that is the result, it's damage not defect.". Also why the heck are you putting a phone that size in your freaking back pocket? Seems like a cracked screen or something else waiting to happen.
Read Rugburn's post. Then view the YouTube video he posted. If a phone costs as much as an iPhone 6 Plus, I can at least expect it to be hard to bend just like a Note 3.
Why would you ever put a phone in your back pocket, you sit on your ass, you're sitting on your phone, it's going to break eventually, what if you fall ass backwards. That and wallets, easy stealing target too.
For the price of the iPhone6 and iPhone6 Plus, I'd expect it to be able to take AT LEAST as much abuse as my Nexus 4.....which has successfully survived several 5ft+ drops onto concrete plus me landing on it.
When its in your pocket, the aluminium gets warm, when that happens it bows far more easier then plastic.
A few cases does not constitute a design flaw. Take a 5 or 5s and try to bend it with your hands like they are doing with the 6. You can't. Just because a few people somehow exerted too much force on their phone and broke it, doesn't mean its Apple's fault. A 300lb person, wearing tight fitting jeans, with their phone in their back pocket will break almost any smart phone if they sit down. But people are dumb and phone manufacturers can't fix that.
Its a feature !!!!! not a problem, Apple invented the bended phone. ( note for later: remind me to put a licence on it when i have some minutes ) ( i joke ) Anyway, as a video was showing the note3 ( who come back in place ), just for the note, you can still try with the Note4... good luck for arrive to bend it..
I'm going to take some convincing that the difference between the aluminum they're using being malleable and being very malleable is a few degrees, like that would logically mean when it's on charge it would be like silly putty.
