In response to claims of iPhone 6 Plus bending in normal use, Apple has responded that:
● 10 million iPhone 6s were sold over the first weekend after going on sale
● only 9 users have complained to Apple about bending phones
● strengthening includes:
◌ construction from a custom grade of aluminum
◌ tempered for extra strength
◌ high-stress locations reinforced with stainless steel & titanium inserts
● iPhones are tested extensively before release, including the "sit test", which simulates sitting on a hard surface with the phone in the back pocket of a pair of tight jeans
