Review: Apple iPhone 6 Plus for AT&T
The phone bends in your pocket
It's a $1000.00 piece of tin foil, and that's all it'll ever be. I will never, ever consider another apple product after they don't even know how to properly make a phone. A phone that bends from regularly having it in a front pocket? This is a joke!
...
This is one of the advantages plastic has over metal. It may flex a little, but it doesn't bend. I'd personally like to see some stress testing to determine whether it is easier to bend an iPhone or snap a Note 3. But having encountered thin metals in all sorts of things throughout my life, it's no stretch of my imagination to believe it is substantially easier to bend the metal in the iPhone than it is to snap the plastic in the Note 3. Until you can show otherwise, this is just a case of the crappy build quality of the iPhone.
...
Metal, plastic, who cares? Put a case on you're phone like you should and you can't tell what it's made of anyways. Using plastic makes the cost to manufacture the phone go down so they can put that cost into other things such as higher quality screens, processors, etc.
...
My phone is a bunch of electronics stuffed inside a plastic case that is intended to bring some uniformity to the device and protect the electronics within. If I have to buy a second case for it, then it wasn't built very well to begin with. Though I have used a case once or twice, I have mostly felt this way as long as I have owned a cellphone.
...
Hence why it's a problem if the Galaxy Note bends.
And what do you mean until I can show you otherwise? I'm on Samsung's social media wall (I even got a $10.00 gift card at Valley Fair) with my broken Galaxy Note screen.

>>And what do you mean until I can show you otherwise?
What I mean is that you have done nothing to show that the same stress that bends the iPhone 6 breaks the Note 3. There's little doubt that you broke your screen, but no one knows under what circumstance. And I'm sorry but you've destroyed your own credibility on this site where Samsung devices are concerned. So, most of us here would need more than your biased opinion to believe that the Note 3 breaks under the same circumstances that bend the iPhone 6. However, I did post a link on this thread to a video where someone put them both through a similar bend test. The Note 3 passed and the iPhone 6 failed. You're more than welcome to watch it yourself if you dare.

"There's little doubt that you broke your screen, but no one knows under what circumstance."
No, I explained the circumstances multiple times. Here it is again: it broke in my pocket from the stress, no impact.
Either you aren't reading, or you're an apologist for Samsung's second rate phones. Given your other threads on this review, there's overwhelming evidence for the second case.

No, I know from my own personal experience of having a Note 3 in my pocket for nearly a year with no case that it doesn't break under circumstances that remotely resemble normal use. Heck, I have even worked on my car with it in my pocket.
On the other hand, you have a clear history of blasting every Samsung device on every Samsung article. YOU lack credibility. Period. So, your personal experience isn't worth squat - to anyone. What I have produced is a link to a video where someone else put the iPhone 6 and the Note 3 through the same stress test.
But since you aren't able to try to smear that guy's name, you just neglected to even address the ...

No. I've owned both and have been honest with my assessment of both, and unlike you, I've owned them. I don't gloss over Samsung building second rate products, nor do I gloss over some of their brilliant additions.
Y'know, that's how I'm able to offer a counterpoint rather than accusing Phonescoop of being hypocritical any time they offer a glowing review of a competing product of my own.

>>I don't gloss over Samsung building second rate products
Sure a plenty of their mid-tier and low end products are second rate. But that's not what you're talking about. Their high end products are the best being made. You like to nit pick and about metal materials, but you "gloss over" the shortcomings of those materials as opposed to the strengths of durable plastics. And this bend test is one of the factors that clearly demonstrates the superiority of one material over the other. Furthermore, you are more than willing to "gloss over" every single Apple shortcoming. You can keep telling yourself that you're being honest, but no one on these forums is buying it.

Who gives a hoot that the phone bends. At the end of the day the user experience (iOS) is superior to any other made.

Except it's not?
I mean you are defending the total fiasco that iOS 8 is? Really?

I am shocked as all hell that a consumer would not care that a $1000 product designed not to bend is, in fact, doing so. Whether you like Apple or not, your opinion is absolutely the worst enemy of consumer advocacy I have ever heard in my 53 years.
Defending a product because you find the experience "Superior", is in all reality, a subjective statement that is not entirely echoed with even Apple fans. Many of my friends and colleagues that own Apple products, find this deficiency quite concerning and are taking notes.
Please review your post and tell me you are not serious.
If you purchase a $40,000 car and the frame bends from hitting a pothole, you are going to be OK with it because you've had a good experience with it?

I wonder why 10,000,000...people think that Apple phones are pretty dang good. There really has never been any competition with Android based phones.
...
The results are in. The Galaxy Note 3 survives the same test that bends the iphone. Nice try with your disinformation campaign there.
