Is iPhone 6 bent problem serious?

I have an iPhone 4 since 2011 and decided to upgrade to iPhone 6, but i've heard (on the internet) new iPhones will bend easily. Is this true? I don't put my phone on the back pocket.
Thanks.

Think what you want. As I mentioned, I was skeptical too. And I'd heard that it was only a problem on the 6 Plus.  The bulk of the media attention occurred before I was able to pick up my backordered iPhone6 and I still decided to get it.  I haven't watched any youtube videos related to iPhones bending. I'm not interested in watching anyone purposefully cause damage "for fun."  Certainly I agree that some amount of force must have been involved in my phone warping. Whatever force I exerted during the course of use couldn't have been much though and there was no obvious event that caused damage. I should also mention that it wasn't bent in 2.  The glass wasn't damaged at all and the phone was fully functional, but after 2 weeks it was slightly curved near the lower volume button. Any amount of bending on an electronic device is alarming to me.  When the Apple tech removed my sim card, the sim card tray was also bent, which surprised me and the tech. The pressure tests done in the middle or one end or the other of the phone may pass with flying colors.  But it seems possible that there is a lack of reinforcement around the cutouts in the frame where the buttons are, allowing some flex in that area. Or maybe I just got a bad one. Either way, I'm handling the new one like fragile crystal until I get it into a heavy duty case... and I kind of miss my old iPhone.

  • Iphone 4 problems after 7.0.2 update--Especially with keyboard entries

    I am having serious iphone 4 problems after installing the 7.0.2 update.  Mostly it is with use of the keyboard.  Each key stroke takes about 8 seconds to show. It is truly disabling.  Apparently many others have had various problems.  The one thing the Apple Tech would tell me was that 7.0.2 cannot be uninstalled.  I have restarted & reset. Settings shows I have more that 20 free GB of space, though I don't know if that's important.
    Sure would appreciate help!  Thank you!

    settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
    also turn off automatic app updated...

  • IPhone Wifi problems and Warranty Query.

    Hi there,
    I've been having serious trouble with my iPhone, the problem is that it won't pick up a wifi signal unless I hold the phone literally a foot away from the router (I've tried this with 3/4 routers I've had access to).
    I've tried restoring the iPhone as well as trying all the fixes mentioned in the Apple article regarding the issue such as resetting network settings, etc.
    I phoned Apple and they said that seeing my iPhone was purchased in Spain that they can't fix it here in the U.K. I thought this was diabolical considering that the warranty is a worldwide one, or at least I thought that it was.
    Could someone clarify this issue as I find it hard to believe that an international company would have such localised policies regarding warranty validity.

    While most Apple warranties are world wide, the iPhone warranty can only be used in the country where the iPhone was originally sold:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#repair2
    +Can I get my iPhone serviced outside the country of purchase?+
    +No, service for eligible repairs is only available in the country where your iPhone was originally purchased.+
    If you want it replaced, you will have to deal with Apple's departments in Spain.

    I m trying to send a email and sms alert to people and it works fine on all systems expect on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india.
    the code i m using is right below,plz have a look and not into the problem as problem is a bit strange.
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
                $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
                $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
                $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
                $headers .= "Importance: High\n";
                // Additional headers
                $headers .= 'From: Rakesh <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
                foreach($disemail as $email)
                    $to = $email;
                    $subject = $succMessage['email_subject'];
                    $message = $smsText;
                    mail($to,'=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=',$message,$header);
            if (stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== FALSE) {
            $smsText = utf8_encode($smsText);

    i have tried this new charset combination specifically for iphone and i m waiting for response from sweden alliance.....i hope this works fine as iso works great for 8-bit characters.
    would like to have your thoughts though.
    $headers .= "Content-Type:text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n  format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable";

    May be you have turned the DO NO DISTURB in your iphone settings.
    Check as below DND settings
    Settings>>Do Not Disturb
    If you are iPhone is on version iOS 5.X there was a bug which does not let the DO NOT DISTURB function properly.
    SO, its better you to latest iOS version 7.0.4, no other versions of iOS are signed by APPLE hence forth.

    Hello rj_23_sv,
    I would be be concerned too if I was not able to update my iPhone.  If you have not resolved the issue, I recommend following article for an issue like this:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    As always, it is a good idea to create a backup before hand:

  • My iphone has problem activating. It says incorrect apple id but the apple id is correct

    My iphone has problem activating. It says incorrect apple id but the apple id is correct ?

    FAQ apple id http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622?viewlocale=en_US
    You are seeing your old apple id because that was the ID that was used to download the app, you can't merge apple id.
    to update the app, you will have to enter the old password.
    Any new apps you download with your new id, will use that id and password.

  • IPhone camera problems.

    Ok. I'm running 3.1.3 on iPhone 3G.
    Recently my iPhone just decided that it wasn't going to let me take pictures anymore. All it allows me to do is open the camera app and it shows the camera shutter and that's all it shows and a restart of iPhone doesn't work and a restore of iPhone doesn't help. I don't know what the problem could be. It hasn't gotten any water damage or any physical damage to cause this to happen. I really wish someone could help ! I love to take pictures of funny things and show my friends. Now it used to be jailbroken but I unjailbroke it about a week after 3.1.3 came out and it hasn't been jailbroken since. This problem just started with my iPhone about two days ago.

    Hello. I have just purchased a used Apple iphone (8GB)from a local salesmen that sells used items for a cheap price. (For example I purchased this phone for the low price of $200.00). After I purchased it I took it home and, with the instructions given by the salesperson, I jail broke my iphone to a Cincinnati Bell Network Plan with my current SIM card. I realized the iphone worked perfectly as if it was brand new, except for one thing, when I went to take a picture the camera didn't work correctly. While researching my iphone's problem on the internet I have not seen a problem quite like mine. I will explain: When you open the app for "camera" on my iphone by clicking on it the camera comes up, but instead of showing on the screen what a normal camera would show, it simply shows a screen that looks to me as what a closed lens of a digital camera would look like if the screen were to show you. It looks like a closed camera lens every time I open up the app with a small icon on the bottom which symbolizes a camera. When you click on the camera icon the iphone does nothing and acts as if you clicked on nothing. To solve this problem I have taken it back to the salesman to ask for help. He took it in for 2 days in which he said he would fix it. When he returned it he sated that he fixed the problem and all I would have to do is put a different camera app on my iphone. However after trying 3 different camera apps, which i wasted money on, I am still left with the same closed lens look on every camera app I have installed. All the camera apps on my phone, new and old, do not react to any touching of the screen after open to open the lens or take a picture. They just simply show the "closed lens" look on the screen, thus NOT fixing my problem. Thank you for any help you can address my problem with. It is much appreciated and if I can fix this problem I won't feel as if I have wasted $200.00 and counting on my iphone and the apps I have installed to fix the issue addressed above.
    Thanks again for any assistance in this matter,
