IPhone 6 Plus bent twice

Hi,
I bought my iPhone 6 Plus 128GB on launch day and I have since had it replaced twice. The first time it had hundreds of stuck/dead pixels on the screen and the second time it was bent.
Around 2 weeks after getting the second replacement, I placed it on a table to check that it hadn't happened again. And it had, in exactly the same way (upper left hand side is bent upwards). Don't try and tell me that I am being careless or that I shouldn't be putting it in my pocket - it's a phone. I had my iPhone 5 replaced twice as well and the second time I had it replaced (again for a faulty screen), the Apple Store Genius said it was in the best condition he had ever seen for a 9 month old phone. I take a ridiculous amount of care with my products. I keep my phone in fairly loose FRONT pockets without anything else in them and there is absolutely no reason for it to be bent after only a few weeks with a case on. This happened about 4 weeks ago and since then it hasn't got worse. It seems to just bend to a certain place and then stays like that (like my previous one).
My question is, has anyone else had to get their bent 6 Plus replaced more than once, and if so, did you have to pay for the second one? Do they check for previous replacements?
Thanks.

I always keep my phones in cases. I wouldn't risk leaving the house without one. I switch between an aluminium SGP case and the official Apple one. For it to be bending at all is ridiculous given that its a phone and they are designed (or should be designed) to be put in pockets, but to be bending when it's in an official case I find unbelivable.
It's not as if I have a 'demanding' lifestyle... I'm at university and work in retail. It's kept in an empty, large front pocket in a case. There is absolutely no reason for it to be bending. I'm a huge Apple fan and 99% of the time I will defend them but in this situation I cedtainly won't be. I spent £800 on this phone plus a contract so I expect it to be able to go in my pocket without deforming.
I was one of the people who thought it was ridiculous to claim it could bend at first, however it's undoubtedly an issue and I can't believe some are saying it's not. Regardless, I'll book an appointment whenever I have time and I'll see what happens.
It bent because excessive force or pressure was applied to the device. That's basic physics. My iPhone 6 Plus has not bent whatsoever, because I have not applied or allowed any excessive pressure or force.
Contact Apple for your support options. Unless you have AppleCare+, you may be looking at an out-of-warranty/physical damage fee of $329 USD + tax. With AppleCare+, you may be looking at only a $79 USD + tax deductible.

You're welcome.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

My iphone plus is bending, what does Apple offer regarding this issue?
I am trying to get to contact with Apple Customer Care, but not clear to me how to do it beside this channel of communication. I bought the phone from kosovar carrier which is under Slovenian ownership. This means that the original warranty comes from Slovenia, bit complicated but still I would like to get an urgent answer how to proceed with this issue, thanks

Maybe i should have only asked if anyone is aware on apple's policy
regarding bending. I took the point that this seems not a proper forum to
pose Q's to apple thanks to both

My iPhone have bent (iphone 6 plus 64g)

I have a bent iphonee. Not a huge bend but easily perceptible. What can I do?
Considering that I was really prudent and the iPhone was in an official iphone cover.
Please help me cause I'm pretty disappointed. I am with Apple since iPod touch 2. Never that kind of problem, and always a good warranty.
(Iphone 6 plus)
Thanks

iPhone doesn't bend itself.
So it user damage, which warranty do not cover unless you have AppleCare +.

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.

How can I stop my iphone listing music twice?

My recent iTunes purchases are showing up twice on my iPhone. There is no duplication in iTunes and no files are being duplicated on the iPhone itself but for each track there is one entry which works and a second entry which includes what appears to be a greyed-out version of the button which appears in the iTunes app when listening to music snippets before purchasing. All of my recent purchases have been via iTunes on my PC followed by synchronisation via USB
If I try to play this alternate entry, I get an error message stating "Cannot play" and directing me to connect to Wi-Fi for playback. If I enable the "use mobile data" setting in the store app, trying to play the alternate entry doesn't generate an error message but doesn't play the track either and instead after a few moments plays the next track on the device.
Anyone have any ideas how I can remove these duplicate listings?

Assuming that some of the 200+ views of this are people with the same problem, I'm posting an update. I haven't been able to stop this from happening but I have found a potential, if labourious, solution.
Connecting my iPhone via wifi and going into the iTunes app, I am able to download all the songs from the cloud. This then creates a copy of each song on the phone which I then have to manually delete. The simplest approach to this so far has been to ensure that all the songs I want to keep on the device have a star rating and then delete the songs without a rating. Time consuming but it gets the job done.

I have a 16 Gb iphone plus can I pay to have more storage?

I got a new Iphone 6 plus from C.C. at sears but all they wereoffering in the 16 GB phone but I like there share plans for my wife and I; and they use AT&T cell towers which works great for us where we live. I would of rather of had a larger Gb like 64 or more so can I go to my nearest apple store and pay to have my cell phone up graded? I have a 30 days to use and If I don't like the phone I can send it back, but I really like the phone just not the storage. I only added 6 new ring tones and have use up already 4 gb of memory I was blown away. this phone will be out of storage in no time even with I-cloud so this is the question I am willing to pay for an up grade is it possible or should I send it back and go to the apple store and get the one I want the go back to sears and Consumer Cellular and still use them for my service? with my phone thanks in advance Zack.

Apple will not accept a return for an iPhone purchased at Consumer Cellular. You cannot
add additional memory to an iPhone. If you wish one with more memory, sell
the one you have and use the funds received towards the purchase of the model
you desire.
You can return your current iPhone to your wireless provide, purchase one with
more memory at Apple and take that iPhone to Consumer Cellular to have them
activate it on their network. Before doing so, be use that Consumer Cellular will
accept iPhones not purchased directly from them and if they do, which models
they support.

Why do my photos on my iPhone show up twice in iPhoto?

When i connect my iPhone to my iMac all of my pictures show up twice. (with the same number i.e. IMG 101.jpg IMG 101.jpg IMG 102.jpg IMG 102.jpg)
If I select just one of the pictures to upload and delete from my phone both photos are deleted... If I select all then two photos show up in iPhoto. How can I fix it?

I had this issue as well. Quick fix - with iPhoto Open, disconnect your iPhone from the computer, then reconnect it. This resolved it for me (without having to update software as several other posts have suggested).

Will there ever be a ipod the size of the iphone plus?

Just wondering if there will ever be an ipod touch the size of the new iphone 6 plus?

Only Apple knows and they have not said anything.

IPhone 4 vibrates twice when receiving one mail.

My iPhone 4 seems to be vibrating twice when I receive an email. My guess is it's vibrating once when receiving it in my Gmail Inbox and then another time when it goes into my "All Inboxes". My brothers iPhone 4 doesn't do this and neither did my 3G with OS 4. How do I correct this?

I fixed it by uninstall all apple programs had on my computer and then reinstalling itunes.

IPhone plays songs twice

hi,
strange problem when playing music on my iPhone 3G 16GB: in shuffle mode, it would play many songs twice, sometimes even three times. not always, but sometimes. any ideas?
same on iOS 3.x, 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2.
thanks!

Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
Also, you might want to check itunes.
Find one of the songs that seems to remember the playback position.
Right click, or control click, on the song and choose get info.
In the info window, click on the Options tab.
There is a check box to remember playback position.
If you do not want the iphone or ipod to remember where you left off, make sure this box is unchecked.
Hope this helps.

Shipping Update: Iphone Plus 128 Gold

Verizon Shipping List: Everyone that is concerned about the 128 Plus mine was gold WILL receive their device if their order was placed eastern time 9/12 3:01 - 3:23 a.m. My order was placed at 3:14 a.m. therefore I am going to release myself from what I am hearing on the shipping delays via the social media for the Plus model. I went to Verizon to speak with a manager who is also a church member and was showed the shipping schedule for the time slots of orders that were placed. The original confirmation emails did have some errors and the ship date online is changing from a later date BACK to 9/19 IF you ordered your device within the time specified. You can call verizon to confirm the time that they are showing you placed your order NOT the time you received the email.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's a possibility but after the responses from the Apple locations and the guarantee that my model will be available for purchase at FCFS, I don't think I'll have much to do with Verizon locations regards it all.
I think the reason you're receiving yours on Friday is you are east coast whereas I am west coast. I think there was some truth to the Fifth Contact's response and that it also depends on the warehouse the order is coming from. My warehouse is more than likely different than yours and probably has a larger demand/smaller supply than your warehouse.
I live in Southern California, and my county alone has 3.1M people. The four surrounding counties have 10M people, 2.3M people, 2.1M people, and 3.2M people. iPhone is king out here as far as phones, so I'm chalking it up to supply/demand in my warehouse, and that my order was processed much later than many others in my area.
I'll check back on my order tomorrow and Thursday, but unless I have a notice that shows it going out for delivery on Friday by being at my local FedEx facility, I'm going to an Apple store, getting a phone there, and cancelling my order with Verizon.

Original iPhone plus 2.0 better deal than 3G?

After upgrading my software to 2.0 on my original iPhone, my delight with Apple is even greater than before - excellent App Store, great little tweaks to the previous user interface, plus push (well Ok, only half a push now) etc etc. Altogether I now have a great smartphone.
So why do I need 3g? Naturally it will be faster than Edge, but not enough to make a difference to my life - I do most of my web surfing and email on wifi and, if I have to use Edge it works fine overall (I can wait a few more seconds per page - no big deal). And do I really need GPS? I have car navigation software on a Tomtom already and the existing map and location service seems to meet most of my non-driving requirements.
I am sure the 3g is great and would recommend iPhone to all - but I have saved some cash and hassle by not upgrading from original to 3g - thanks to the excellent 2.0. Hopefully there will be further software upgrades later which will also apply to the original iPhone.
Better to wait till next year's model before upgrading the hardware, perhaps? Am I missing something?

I take that as a compliment. Set 'em up, Joe - mine's a whisky mac...

Music I have on iTunes on comp wont sync to iphone plus music I bought through phone will no longer play on phone after I synced to my comp.

Just bought music on iTunes from phone and then synced to iTunes on my computer and now the music I bought through the phone will not play but still remains in my music library. Also music that I had in my library from ripped CDs and other resources will no longer play on phone but will on the computer. How can I fix this problem?

In my Sync vehicle, I had to "forget" the SYnc connection in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, then go into the car menu and delete the bluetooth device from the vehicle's system. Once I re-paired from scratch, it has been working fine. Give that a try. If not, try removing the connection from both sides again, then Reset Network Settings from the General Settings before re-pairing.
