Owners of Appleās new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are reporting that the thinĀ aluminium construction has left some phoneĀ bent out of shapeĀ after carrying it in their pockets, aĀ similarĀ problem occurred with both previous iPhones the 5/5S.
The MacRumoursĀ forums and Geek reports a small but growing number’ of users on Twitter are complaining of a major design flaw that sees the smartphone body bend under pressure.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus chassis is milled from a solid piece of aluminium alloy.Ā But the weak area of the phone appears to be around the volume buttons, where the frame is at its thinnest and creates a fulcrum point around which the phone bends.
