Bendgate is back. A new website is spotlighting the malleability of Apple’s new super-slim smartphone by posting hundreds of pictures of bent iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units.
More than 350 images of deformed Apple phones have been posted by grassroots site One of the Nine, and the submissions keep on coming despite Apple’s claim that a bend in the iPhone 6 is “extremely rare” with normal use.
Bendgate — the latest in a long line of overblown controversies about new Apple products — erupted shortly after the iPhone 6 launch in September. It quickly blew over after Apple let journalists into its iPhone torture chamber and released a statement refuting claims that the iPhone 6 was bending in users’ pockets.
At the time, Apple said just nine units had been reported as bent.
The anonymous founder of One of the Nine has reportedly received death threats from Apple fanboys, but insists he created his website as a tongue-in-cheek way to find the original nine people reporting bent iPhone 6s. Cult of Mac asked Apple for info on how many customers have reported bending problems with either iPhone 6 or 6 Plus models, but haven’t received a comment.
While even 300 defective units is a microscopic drop in the bucket compared to the 10 million iPhone 6 units Apple sold in its first three days, some owners might not have reported the problem or even noticed it yet.
In a recent blog post, One of the Nine’s operators says they are not anti-Apple, but want to raise awareness of the ongoing problem.
“We are raising awareness of the issue to get Apple to take responsibility for the problems. Currently they are rejecting most customers who complain about a bent phone and calling them liars when they state that it happened through carrying it normally in their pockets.”
The website operators even made a video showing what 300 bent iPhones looks like (see below).
If you’re one of the “lucky” nine with a bent certifiably bent iPhone you can submit your pics here — and make sure to tell us about your sad experience in the comments.

Old news now, if you are going to spend all that money on a shiny new iPhone and then treat it like crap then you are an absolute fool anyway.
Absolutely correctomundo.
I wonder how many of these were purchased (indirectly) by Samsung for no other ease than to make an issue against their chief competitor. If you applied the same pressure required to BEND aluminum, you’d BREAK a plastic phone in half.
Agreed.
Plastic phones, if not done right can feel pretty bad. I remember my days with the Galaxy S3 & S4. Yeah, the plastic isn’t malleable like metal.
Then using something like an M8, and now my 6 Plus, I prefer metal phones. Let’s not mistake two materials that do different things. Both have upsides and downsides.
Agreed too. What a coincidence this site appears just in the precise momment Apple is beating Samsung in China… Suspicious….
Agree 100%
Not really, the same pressure has been applied to many other phones in bend tests and the plastic ones actually fair better because plastic flexes, they bend but flex right back into shape.
I keep hearing this and yes you would be correct if the competitors phones were also doing this under the same circumstances but they are not, so to me that is an issue and we as consumers shouldnt be making up excuses for these multi billion dollar companies.
Not sure where you’re getting your info from, but competitor phones ABSOLUTELY bend if enough pressure is applied. Just look at the new Galaxy Alpha and Note 4, the Sony Xperia Z line, the HTC One (M8), and many more, they can ALL bend when abused.
No you are incorrect, they are not bending in pockets like the iPhone, thats the point here. Of course every phone bends if forced enough, we are talking pockets here and there have been no reports of competitors phones bending in pockets. Thats what this bendgate is all about is it not? now i feel you will have a different definition of abuse to me though but stick any one of those phones you mentioned in your back pocket sit down and see if they bend. Im finding it really difficult how people cant understand this, its like buying a pair of Nike and the leather cracking because you ran in them when the Adidas didnt crack. I wouldnt defend Nike like i wouldnt defend Apple for this.
I’m sorry, but you’re just repeating the same FUD the media and hysterical bloggers have been spewing this whole time about this topic, which is BTW full of horses#t as John Legere put it.
The amount of force needed to bend an iPhone 6 has been scientifically proven to be 90 pounds before full structural failure. I have actually taken the opportunity myself to see how much the 6 and 6+ can “flex”, and these are not delicate devices in the slightest. To bend one requires enough force to be substantiated as deliberate abuse of the device, nothing more, nothing less. Most pockets BTW, will tear when exposed to that much pressure, so the story of iPhone’s bending in people’s pockets is a complete crock of crap.
I help manage a wide array of devices at work, and most of them are iPhone’s, with the 6 and 6+ making rapid inroads, and trust me, I’ve seen people sitting on them WITHOUT any cases and they are fine, even though doing so with a device as large as the 6+ is down right stupid in the first place.
The fact you’re having a hard time understanding this is just proof you shouldn’t be commenting on something you clearly don’t understand and are letting the media spoon feed you BS. Best example, look at this video. It’s not even a video! It’s a collection of pictures, whose sources are not even VERIFIED, nor the circumstances under which these phones were bent, and is played along side what amounts to a troll’s anthem, and you think it’s definative proof the phone has a defect! Apple has a manufacturing capacity for the 6 and 6+ at about 520,000 per day. The device launched in late September. That’s more than a month ago. If we count just 30 days of availability, that’s more than 15,000,000 iPhone 6 and 6+ units sold! And so far only 300 units have been bent by (more than highly likely) deliberate means or sheer stupidity.
The fact you, and people like you, are believing this crap, is because you can’t look at the facts and judge them for yourself without letting the media do the thinking for you. The phones do bend under extreme pressure, NOT found in one’s pocket. Get over it, it’s just pure BS.
I didnt watch the video, i went to the source, the site itself where the pictures are with explanations how the phone bent etc I suggest you also look at the site and not the video as it is a better demonstration with comments how it happened etc.
And BTW, before you even TRY mentioning not to use the CR test as backing for MY claim because you think it’s been disproven, which it HASN’T, I have tried to put pressure on a 6+ at the volume rocker, and again, that thing won’t bend unless you really apply a LOT of force.
Sorry it has been dis proven as the force wasn’t applied in the correct area, its all over the internet and its also quite obvious when you use your brain.
As for you saying im just agreeing with the media outlets, you arent? your only defence is the CR test, thats it, oh and that you tried to bend it yourself. But there are videos with kids bending these things, adults, all sorts of people but for some reason they are all lying because you couldnt bend yours. If the bend was only from deliberate bending then why is Apple replacing all these bent phones? i have a feeling even they know this is an issue, minor? yes but its still happening and them replacing the phones that have is proof that even they know it can happen in your pocket. Im not finding it hard to understand, it seems you are though because possibly you have an Apple bias. I enjoy Apple products also and am in the rare bunch of Apple users that want a quality product and will call them out if they havent supplied there end of the deal. Im not saying the iPhone is crap or a waste, but as a consumer i want a quality product thats at least comparable to the competitors if not better, thats all, no hate, no bullshit, just a quality product regardless of brand. Ive owned a few phablets now and never had an issue with them bending, i was considering the 6+ for an upgrade from my 5 but have chosen a different phone now because i honestly feel like im not getting my moneys worth with the iPhone. I still have my 5 and a note 3 and some older devices and will consider the iPhone 6 or whatever they call it when it comes. You are very defensive for Apple, im curious, if this was say Chevy or Ford or something and you feel you didnt get a quality product would you also defend them?
You are arguing with a guy who thinks disproven is two words. Need I say more?
Nope, his response actually solidifies my stance on this, and demonstrates his lack of comprehension of this matter. I read some of the other comments he’s left, and he’s stuck on this. I’m not even going to bother any more.
Why wouldnt i be stuck on this? should i just ignore it while looking for a new phone to buy? i dont get your way of thinking. I have a choice to buy several different phones, now do i get the one that has bending issues or get the one that doesnt? regardless of brand.
The “Bending Issues” is an overblown Non Issue is the Point * facepalms*
Do U have a iPhone 6 or 6+ and it bent in your pocket? Yes or no?
If yes, show us proof.
If no, STFU!!
Isnt all the images online not enough? would you believe me if i did put a pic up? I dont own a 6 or 6+ because of this bendgate, i was planning on buying one but changed my mind. I do have a friend whos girlfriends iPhone bent in her front pocket but id feel a little weird asking if i could take a pic to show some stranger on the internet and honestly i doubt you or anyone else would believe me anyway going from the responses/comments here.
If you’re not buying an iPhone 6 or 6+ because of this FUD, then you are being remarkably foolish.
Theres enough evidence out there for me to feel im making the right decision, i have all these videos and articles from reputable sites saying it bends in the pocket and even know someone who has experienced it but you want me to believe a bunch of strangers here on the cult of mac? of course the majority of people on here will disregard this issue, it would seem silly for them not to, it is cult of mac after all. So im foolish in your eyes, but value for money ill buy the phone that doesnt bend and atm im still stuck which phone to get. Someone below mentioned that Apple have reenforced the newer devices so they are stronger, if this is the case then i may still get one if its reenforced. But by Apple doing this doesnt it show that it is an issue? or is the user below just talking lies and they havent done anything on the newer ones? this is just getting confusing now. I wish you could try before you buy.
You don’t think before you type, do you?
“i have all these videos and articles from reputable sites saying it bends in the pocket and even know someone who has experienced it but you want me to believe a bunch of strangers here on the cult of mac?”
So who are those videos made by, and those sites crafted by? Complete strangers! There is no distinction! SMH
Apple has NOT re-enforced anything, this was already debunked as a manufacturing variance in materials that cause minor differences in weight that are still within spec.
Again, if you’re one of the fools (I use that word deliberately because there is nothing logical about those who believe this bullcrap) that are basing their decision not to buy the best phone on the market strictly on the basis of this BS, then all I can say is happy trails. Thanks for proving, yet again, you’re in the “stuck on stupid” state on this issue.
Strangers with a reputation in giving good reviews etc, well known sites, the strangers on here are mostly bias and in a comments section with no experience in giving reviews or been known for doing such but you compare the two like they are the same? wtf Whats with all the name calling? far out, i came to this site to get some info on this and all im getting is attacked by people, i guess i should have known with a site with the word cult in its name. I guess we just have to agree to disagree, you feel there is nothing logical in what im saying but i have witnessed a bent iPhone 6+ myself in front of my own eyes and i doubt the person bent it on purpose, ive known them for some time and are very trustworthy people, they have no reason to lie to me. I honestly feel there is no logic in what you’re saying, all you’re doing is saying its FUD with no evidence what so ever but you want me to trust you and believe you over others that do show and prove? I guess i could atleast say thanks for clearing up the reinforcement thing, in a way i was hoping it was true so i could still get the iPhone but i guess ill keep researching and find whats right for ME.
No it isn’t enough of “images online” you stupid.
Coz there would be dumb dumbs like u who will believe anything that pranksters post ‘images online.
Don’t use that old trick and tell us you wish to buy one and now you change your mind. If u really want to buy one go and buy or don’t buy. No one force you to do either.
Don’t come and tell us you ‘have a friend whose friend had a iPhone and got it bent in her pocket’. Let me tell you : i have MANY FRIENDS who have iPhone 6 and 6+ but none got bent in their pockets.
Don’t come and tell us its weird or impolite to “show some stranger on the internet” the images of your or your friend’s friend bent iPhone.
But yes you are correct though that you wrote : “i doubt you or anyone else would believe me anyway going from the responses/comments here.”
Fair enough, you have had your say and really didnt bring anything to the table, i have no way for you to believe me so think how you want, im not trying to impress or disrespect you so think how you want. There are no tricks here my man, what do i achieve from tricking people in a comments section? i dont understand your way of thinking. If you really really want me to get a picture of my friends partners bent phone i can, it may take a few days as we both have families and are both quite busy, but again, would you believe me if i showed you anyway? you already answered that so i wont bother wasting my time with someone with an extremely bias view. Call me names, call me a liar, call me dumb do what ever you please, im not here to trick or even please you so go for it if that makes you feel better. Yes if i want to buy one let me do so, but also let me try and get facts and information before making that purchase, it would be dumb not to do so, im not just going to dive in and buy a product because of a logo/brand name or because some people in the comment section of a bias Apple site say im dumb for researching my next phone purchase. How about we discuss things like adults or you could just keep calling me names and making out you’re more intelligent.
No no. U had not brought anything to the table. Not me. U are using your ‘friends’ story. U are using ‘images online’ posted by strangers’
Your way of thinking or my way of thinking? What? This is history class?
Like i said before. Don’t buy iPhone 6. End of story. Why are still rambling and bitching here? According to what you wrote earlier, u are very convinced the phone bent, am i right to say so? Then theres no more to discuss and certainly theres no need to “also let me try and get facts and information before making that purchase, it would be dumb not to do so, im not just going to dive in and buy a product”.
WTF? It goes to show there’s something ‘wrong with you way of thinking’.
So tell me when it comes to researching smart arse how am i supposed to do so? i cant view online images? i cant go off friends experience? you put that in quotes like im an idiot for using what i have to work with. Im still on here because im yet to purchase the device and im looking at what others are saying in the comments and if i find it strange what someone has said i will reply and ask them to try and clear it up explaining what i have found during my research, maybe someone has an article i missed that could help my decision. Im convinced the phone bent with the information and research i have, im not just saying this because im some sort of Apple hater, im far from that, i just want a quality product regardless of brand. You dont seem to get that some people out there look around, read, research etc before making a purchase, then question those who have a differing opinion on what i have found via research etc as they possibly may have some info i have missed that may contradict my information i have found. You may be the type to buy the next Apple device regardless without looking into the product, maybe you have a lot of money and a phone purchase doesnt bother you much. Im unsure why you name call and carry on when im just looking into a product i want to buy and am finding others out there that are saying things differently to what i have found online and in real life so im asking questions and trying to get to the bottom of this. It may be an easy decision for you and easy for you to accept that this may all be FUD but im not convinced..yet so let me be and stop bothering me with my research unless you have something informative to say. You are really saying nothing but trying to manipulate my words, either help me or be ignored.
Stop whining and bitching.
2 options for u .
a) Don’t buy.
b) Buy it and put in the pocket and if it bends then show us.
There’s nothing to research u moron. Because you are determined that the phone bends, yes? So wtf. there’s nothing to research anymore.
By coming to this forum what do u hope to achieve? That someone will tell u that iPhone 6 doesn’t bend? And it will change your mind and in your words you will ‘dive in and buy the product’? C’mon who are you deceiving?
Since you are convinced iPhone 6 bends, theres nothing else to research isn’t it? There are people here telling u its not an issue or they personally do own the model and do not experience the bending issue. Why don’t you believe them? But instead you throw their account into the trash bin.
So what are you doing here? Getting group hug? Or finding soul mates that agree with u the phone bends?
I am helping you. Stupid. D O N O T B U Y I P H O N E 6.
If you don’t think my advice helps then don’t take it. But don’t pretend to play innocent virgin.
Again im convinced with the research and info i have seen, i come here seeing whether anyone has articles etc i have missed so i can read those, hard for you to understand huh? this site is Apple bias so im seeing what they have because other sites you just end up with a Android vs Apple debate, ill see what people have to offer here and make my decision based on what i have researched and what people here have layed out for me to check. You are not helping at all, you’re just being a huge douche. Yes im hoping, well its more curiosity, that someone may have something i may have missed, will i dive in and buy the product from one article, well that depends what it actually says. Why dont i believe them, the commenters here? why dont you believe me? same thing, but if one of them had a decent source for the info they are speaking im keen to read it as i feel there may be more to this story by the replies here.
Again you are not helping, its like you are trying to scare me away from doing what i feel is right in my mind to make a decision. You feel threatened for some reason, like im here to bash Apple, have i done that at all? or am i trying to find out whether this thing bends or not? ffs
Hey bitch
Make up your stupid mind which version of made up story U want to stick to.
U confessed u are convinced that the phone bends from the “research” U made. Yet u come here to “find out more facts and information”. Wtf who do u think u are deceiving here?
U want to buy iPhone but u are convinced it bends. Then don’t buy it, stupid.
U say u need “assurance” to make up your so called decision. I’m telling u don’t buy iPhone U fool. But then u go back and forth whining and bitching about “hate” and “apple bias”.
What a bitch u are.
You obviously have issues with reading and understanding what is written. You also seem to have issues in communication. There is no point in constantly explaining the same things to you over and over while you continue to be dumb or act dumb. I could take your advice but really? the way you have demonstrated yourself on here i wouldnt take anything you say with a grain of salt, most ignorant replies ive had from any of the members here. I could stoop to your level and name call and act like a child throwing a fit but id never stoop that low if thats what you are hoping for.
No no. You are the one having issues. For 2 days you have harped on the bending issue with anyone and everyone in this forum who disagreed with U.
U have big issues. Not me.
Obviously U cannot stand other people from disagreeing with you. And U pretend to be wanting to buy a iPhone 6. Yet at same time in all your posts U discredit every one’s comments who disagree. Then u play up your concern that U need to do more research but at it turn out today U confess u are “convinced” iphone 6 bends.
So wtf. U have issues. U are inconsistent and U are liar who discredit others but insists on the other hand we must believe U. Because U don’t own an iPhone but insist that your friend’s friend has bent iPhone?? LOL so pathetic.
What is low of U is this : u insist u want to do more research to decide whether or not U want to buy an iPhone 6. But in your posts for 2 days in a row U only discredit all others in this forum for their comments.
So u have issues. And U are very low human being for playing innocent Virgin.
Far out, im not going to type the same stuff out again because you cant read. Its like you read bits and pieces of my comment and only replied to those. Im not insisting in people believeing me, im putting the info out there that i have found that may disagree/discredit with their opinion. My opinion is based on what i have read and seen, some others opinions are just what they feel or what the suspect with no documentation or otherwise, its just their own thoughts and is why i reply/discredit them, possibly they do have something to base their comment on that i can read about as im curious as to why they seem so certain of what they are saying, they must have something to back that up, so i reply and see if they are just their own thoughts without any evidence or if they do have something to show. Saying things like “this is bullshit” id expect for them to say that, that the person may have something to back that up, am i wrong in approaching them and seeing if they do? im happy for anyone to discredit and disagree with me with evidence or an article from a few sources saying the same thing, reputable sites whatever, but saying its bullshit because they feel it is and not having anything to back that up isnt my fault, i cant agree with someones thoughts after the research ive have done. The only article people keep talking about here is the Consumer Reports which is a good example but many sites are saying that it was a flawed test and after reading the reason why they feel it was flawed and can see where they are coming from, i also feel it was flawed.
Keep thinking im some troll or deceiver, you are one very paranoid person.
Im not insisting anyone believe me, im putting what i have learnt about this on the table, people are disagreeing with me without evidence, now why would i just take someones word for it when i have many articles and videos saying otherwise? Prove me wrong with something to back you up, not just your opinion without any facts. Im pushing for this because i’d honestly like to find out the truth behind this, for one, so i can make the decision to buy or not buy and two, to see if this girl with the bent phone is being honest or not, shes always been trustworthy since ive known her but you never know, so far from the facts ive seen shes being honest until someone shows me otherwise and not just by saying, “its bullshit”.
First U say u came here to do research because U wanted to get facts and information before U decide whether you wish to iphone 6.
Then u changed your story and U confessed u are convinced the phone bends.
Now U tell us u are here as good citizen to share with us your so called information. That your friend’s friend’s phone bends? LOL.
WTF. Like I said do not buy the iPhone since U are convinced it bends. U are still unhappy why?
Because it’s never your intention to “do research ” nor “consider to purchse”. It’s your intention to come here to tell people I this forum
Not to buy the iPhone. U get a kick out of discrediting other people’s opinions.
Just own up. Don’t be a coward. Is fine with me U are a sissy.
First i came here to read the article, then i started reading the comments and saw so many saying it is bullshit, with my mind thinking well with all the articles etc i have read it seemed like it was a fault and it bends, i was convinced, but seeing as so many on here are saying its a lie i questioned some of them thinking they possibly have seen something i havent, i started doubting myself like i had missed something. I was convinced before i came here the phone bends yes, BASED OFF WHAT I HAD SEEN BEFORE COMING HERE FFS. So i start replying to people with the info i have, not as a good citizen, just to state my opinion, and why i had come to the conclusion i have, that seems sensible to me.
Its not a friends friend, its a friends partner/spouse/significant other, hopefully 3 words basically meaning the same thing will get through to your head.
Honestly right at this point im not convinced it doesnt bend, but i am slightly doubting myself but im not seeing anything to prove otherwise except personal opinions, thats my whole point here. So what do you do? you have said nothing at all, havent been on topic which i have this whole time and you play Mr Detective, well think you are and dont realise how wrong you are. Again, i havent discredited anyones opinions, the facts and articles etc i quote may do that but im just passing on the info as i would like others to do for me, throw what you have at me, im keen. Why do you keep dodging what im after and only accuse me of some sort of shenanigans? So many on here with the same opinion but no one can tell me how they got to that conclusion? come on, thats all im after and why im still here. Discredit me, so many seem to think the info i have read is wrong so show me how it is. Answer my questions instead of picking and choosing what you want to reply to in my comment with things not on topic. Is there anyone on this site that can help me understand why so many of you dont believe this? besides you own one and it hasnt happened yet. Super is just wasting my time with having to explain myself over and over and over.
As I said. Do u have a iPhone 6 that bends in your pocket? If the answer is no, then what u wrote about your frend’s friend is bullshit to me.
I have many friends who own iPhone 6 and the plus and none told me their phones bend.
I already answered your question and so do others in the forum. But U chose to discredit their comment even those who own the iPhone 6 and told u contrary to your so called research or findings.
So like I said earlier. There isn’t anything to discuss since U made up your mind that the phone bends. So my advise is : don’t get the phone. End of story. The issue is why are U still bitching?
The answer lies in the fact that U are jealous that others do not agree with u, u are jealous others are still wanting or holding on to their iPhone 6.
Don’t stoop so low. Just own up don’t pretend to play mr nice guy.
And for your information. I pick up sentences from U because that’s who U are. U pretend to say a lot but bascically the U are pretending to want to share information and pretending to “do research “.
LOL what a snake.
Agree 100%, don’t buy it if you can’t or won’t look after it
Thats funny, I have treated my phone with great care and it had warping within the first week with a case. Granted its so slight I never cared to bother taking it to apple or wasting time with it, but I think as more people get their hands on the 6 plus they will notice it’s quite delicate. I did not even have mine in a pants pocket and its got a slight warp to it.
Sorry if this offends anyone who will quick to dismiss this and tell me to not wear hipster jeans etc and the other dismissive bs.
Apple never said that only 9 phones had the problem – they said only 9 people REPORTED having the problem to Apple (officially filing complaints). I’m sure the number has increased since that report but if you don’t report it, it effectively never happened.
Well, it was 9 phones at the time they reported the 9 phones, but that was right after they started shipping. It has been over a month now, hasn’t it? I’ve sat on mine several times, but it’s not bent, I guess I have to sit on it with a chair that’s made of wood instead of a cushion/fabric. That might be what’s going on.
Will it bend? Yes. If you decide to bend it. Also 300 phones is still ‘extremely rare’ when they have sold well over 40 million phones. (it’s roughly 0.0000075 of the phones sold.)
I think Apple could have made the product a little more sturdier. I think next year’s model will not bend so easily.
Any bets that they are going to install some reinforcement parts to prevent greatly reduce the bending problem?
Personally, I’m waiting for a certain mfg to release a Mobee battery case so it won’t have that problem and I can have even more battery life. Mobee Tech is working on an induction version. Hopefully it will be out within the next couple of months.
It wouldn’t matter how sturdy Apple makes the iPhone, those looking for 10 minutes of fame will find something to exaggerate.
So much stupid
Sounds like another ‘blame the user’ response typical of fan boys. Look, if there are engineering problems, then they tend to show up when a product hits the masses. To ignore the issue or ‘blame’ it way on ‘dumb’ consumers is not necessarily the right road to go – just ask GM and their problems with ignitions when someone puts ‘a stupid amount of keys on a ring’…
I think you have said something quite good here. It is bad from Apple enthusiasts to just dismiss this as stupid. Yet there are things that an owner can do to a phone that was not intended for the device. I might be wrong, since I don’t have a source, but hasn’t Apple been replacing phones that have been bent?
Yes, Apple stated that they would simply replace them. I think people are just upset because they can’t treat their phones like a indestructible toy. I wonder how many people that had bent phones were high on drugs/alcohol at the time of bending. Maybe that would be a contributing factor.
I agree, i cant believe how many are making up excuses for this or calling the ones with bent phones dumb like its there fault for carrying a phone in their pockets. The competitors phones are not doing this so i feel there is a slight manufacturing error with these and you will have to be more careful then if you had a different phone. But to blame the user is ridiculous. At the minimum Apple should have a sticker that comes on the phone saying it may bend if put in your pockets.
Competitors phones have always done this! There is just no website dedicated to competitors phones. Bent phones have always been around.
Actually there have been many websites showing how the other competitor phones dont bend in your pocket. Every phone will bend with enough force but bendgate is about it bending in your pocket which other makers phones are not doing. The only other phone i can think of that got spoken about in the media because of it bending was the iPhone 5 but that wasnt as bad as the new one. Im not hating if thats how you feel, im just a consumer that wants what i pay for whether its Apple, Samsung, Chevy, Ford whatever, if i feel i am not getting what i paid for ill complain and not blame the user.
No, I don’t think your hating. Its just that if all phones bend with enough force, wouldn’t that relate to pockets as well. I’ve just seen articles talk about lots of different phones bending. Take the Cult of Mac article: The Shocking truth About bent Smartphones. It shows tons of slightly bent smartphones, from the Samsung, to Sony, even the Nokia Lumia. Hay, I could be wrong, its just an observation, but I don’t think your a hater though.
Ive seen that article also, it showed a bunch of older devices like the Galaxy s4 and iPhones 4, 5 an old HTC etc. I have been looking at the later devices being tested and so far it seems the Galaxy Note 3 is the strongest by a fair amount. Im no iFan or Fandroid im just trying to find a phone that satisfies me and the bend issues have turned me off Apple but many people here are attacking me like its all my fault.
Sound like another ‘blame Apple’ response typical of trolls. Look, if you want to make a meaningful conversation, avoid using words like ‘fan boys’.
Where is the engineering fault, so far we have no proof other than people deliberately bending their phones for website hits and Google cash.
I’ve got the plus and it’s not bent after sitting on it accidently….
Do you even own one?
Wheres your proof that all 300 and something of the phones on that site were bent purposefully? No one can prove anything really until it happens to you so asking for proof is just silly, you just need to put all the evidence together and make your own decision. I can tell you a friends partner bent hers in her pocket from sitting down but you wont believe it anyways, when your extremely bias it doesnt matter what people will say, you will still disagree. It wouldnt surprise me if many on here would keep quiet even if this did happen to them, its quite strange this site, like another world, cult like in a sense, i guess thats why its called what it is.
Oh for god sakes. That is still 300 iPhones bent out of 10 MILLION sold within the first weekend. There is always a problem with the first batch of iPhones. And plus who knows, have of those people could of bent their iPhones themselves.
Yes 300 and counting… By January there will be nearly thousands of bent phones if Apple hasn’t called for reinforcement…
Unfortunately 300 phones, in verified as to how they got bent, is not proof of anything. If they post, and prove how they got bent, 5 million phones then mayby.
Unfortunately 300 phones, unverified as to how they actually got bent, is not proof of anything. Not even a little bit.
There is no need proof, As lot of previous users who got the iPhone bent will needed free-replacement or require entire iPhones recalled for fixing this rare issue…
Furthermore the proof simply can be made, If you put the iPhone 6 in the pocket (doesn’t matter if its front or back pocket) and then sit down multiple times which increase more pressure on iPhone then you’ll notice that the phone is bend, But one of my nearest Apple retailer told me that i should use hard-case to protect the iPhone against bending. I guess this could be good idea for a “temporary”.
There is no need for proof? Apple should take all bent phones that come in and just assume they happened by magic?
Mine has no case, it’s been in my pocket every day since launch. I even had it with at Universal Studios on roller coasters.
Not bent. Not even a little.
I said if you put more “pressure” on iPhone like sitting very hardly, The phone will get bent.
Isn’t that the case with every phone?
You can use hard-surfaced case for iPhone to avoid bending, But it was recommended by an adviser at Apple’s support dept.
Nope, over the many years ive own “phablets” not one has bent in my pocket. You need to see the bend tests to see how much stronger the competitors are.
Well who is to say those competitor phones that where in Cult of Macs article didn’t bend in pockets. If all phones bend with enough force, who’s to say that amount of force isn’t given in certain peoples pockets and not given in others. For ex. the note 4 can still bend easier than the Note 3. And the HTC one can bend easier than the iPhone 6+. Like you said not one phablet you have owned bent in your pocket. Maybe you didn’t apply enough force. And maybe most people aren’t Applying enough force with the iphone 6+, I mean 300 out of over 10million in the first week is a pretty small number. Maybe these were some extreme cases. I don’t think its as simple as just sitting down and the phone just bends.
There would be media reports just like there is now and was when the iPhone 5 had the same issues. Isnt that one of the points of these tech sites, to inform the consumer? Yes thats right maybe i didnt apply enough force but with no media coverage saying this or that phone bends and media reports saying that this one does im going to select the one that is being reported as not wouldnt i? im not the type to take to much of a risk so i would select the one not being reported about in the media as where else do i get reviews and info from to buy my next device. 300 out of 10 mill isnt fully correct, 10 mill is for both phones, Apple hasnt released sales numbers for each phone individually and never do, they lump the sales together and make out they created a new sales record comparing the sales of two phones to one phone of its competitors. But regardless of that i can only go off what i read, hear, see and from the tech sites etc the iPhone bends in pockets and the others are not so ill keep looking for the phone I want.
Well most tech sites have concluded that the Consumer reports articles made this a non issue. And even 300 phones out of 4 or 5 million sold in the first week, still shows that these may be some extreme cases. I think the media still have to get these stories from people, and I see more people including the media sites saying this is more of a non issue than an issue. But I can understand not wanting to take a chance. Earlier this week there was a sensationalized story that the iPhone 6 had bad Nand flash memory, and 9to5 mac found that only 159 post were made to Apples forums about this issue, so it wasn’t as big as some publications were making it out to be. I personally think bendgate is a similar issue. But Again I can totally understand not wanting to take the risk. I will though, I think the phone is one of the nicest out, and did pretty good in drop test compared to the competition.
Thankyou for a reasonable response, you seem to understand i dont want to take the risk, im not the most wealthiest person so i dont like taking risks if i dont have to. Drop tests i kind of am not phased about, i have never dropped my phone and cracked a screen (touch wood) but i do carry my phones in my pockets and do tend to leave them in there while sitting and crouching etc so thats why i looked into this. Yes the iPhone is a pretty phone. I do see some sites saying this is a non issue but i also saw what Apple did to that magazine because it did do a bend test. Its a very difficult thing to research as you have bias sites, sites afraid of being black listed and people who straight hate Apple so its difficult and time consuming going through all the sites and videos etc. Honestly at first i didnt really believe it either until my friends partner bent hers not on purpose. Seeing it with my own eyes really changed the way i thought.
And yet Consumer Reports have shown the iPhone 6+ to withstand more than 90 pounds of pressure before it bends, and the HTC one to bend at 70 pounds. Where is the HTC one bending website?
There is no HTC bending website because none have bent in their pockets, its not hard to understand is it? That Consumer Reports test wasnt accurate anyway, they didnt push on the soft spot of the phone where this issue is happening, pushing it in the middle like they did means they had the battery inside giving support, move near the edge where the issue is and im sure less pressure will be needed. If you look at all the pictures this phone is bending near the volume rocker, so only one side bends, pushing it in the middle wont achieve the same result.
Well actually there are allot of phones shown bent in the middle, and not by the volume rocker at all. I think that would give the Consumer Reports article some validity. And again 300 out of over 10million sold in the first week, shows that these may be some extreme cases. But again I could be wrong.
Are you saying there are a lot of iPhones shown bent in the middle? im not seeing that, im only seeing them more around the volume button and is why many are saying the consumer reports test was inaccurate. It may be an extreme case thing because yeah 300 out of a few million is quite rare, im sure the number will keep going up and im not much of a risk taker so i dont think i want to risk it.
I don’t know what proof this is. But if its possible, cant that proof be made with other phones?
Get a good case. Why are people putting such a thin phone in their pockets and insisting to sit on it? Let’s bend some Samsung phones and see if that goes viral.
Read some of the descriptions of these bent phones, many are bending in their front pockets. They are not insisiting to sit on it, they are just doing normal things you can do with any other phone and it doesnt bend so why is Apples? Unfortunately they tried to bend many Samsung phones and other brands and the new iPhone didnt fair to well compared to the competition. The Galaxy Note 3 was actually one of the toughest.
That goes along with:
I didn’t drop it in the toilet & I didn’t drop it while speeding on my bike , or a thousand other reasons. What you expect people to walk into an apple store and say “hey, I was like really wasted last night trying to pick up this totally hot babe, and I like sat down so she couldn’t see the erection I was getting, and I forgot my phone was in my back pocket and I like sat on it, so could you like replace it because I’m a dumbass.”,
So you are saying there are no genuine claims? you seem to not have a lot of trust in people. Of course some will bend their phone on purpose, but you cant just say they all are.
Yeah. because all people are completely honest about how and why their phone got damaged. If you stuff an $800 phone in your back pocket and sit on it, you are either amazingly forgetful or you are an idiot. This goes especially for a larger phone of either Android or Apple. I saw a guy with an Android phone the other day that was bigger than his head. It was idiotically huge and almost 1/2″ thick. The reason I saw it was because he had to take it out of his pocket to be able to actually sit down and he placed it on the table.
We want thinner phones and we want them to weigh almost nothing. I weigh 200 and If I put an iPhone 6 I’m my pocket and sit down, ITS GOING TO BEND.
AND YES, I think people tend to lie especially when there is the replacement cost of an $800 phone or a $2000 laptop on the line. I have a friend who works at the Apple store in Minneapolis. Do you know why the tech at the Apple stored have rubber gloves? People bring phones and laptops in all the time with the excuse that “It just stopped working.” They open them up and find all sorts of crap… vomit, coffee, cat urine (one girls cat pissed in her macbook) In the case of phones, people have brought them in where you can tell instantly that it was dropped into a toilet that was lets say LESS than fresh. When asked if they dropped it into the toilet, YES people lie and say no which is especially rude because you are expecting someone else to handle your urine and feces filled phone with their bare hands.
I don’t know how old you are but if you are over the age of 10, you should have figured out that “EVERYONE LIES” by now.
yes like i said some claims would be false but you cant claim all of them are, thats just silly. I keep hearing people say the same will happen with other phones but from the research ive been doing this simply is false, no other phone from what ive seen bends in someones pocket, i know many girls that keep their Android devices/phablets in their back pocket, sit on them and not one is bent so i fail to believe that at all. Honestly i dont want a thinner phone if it will bend, and i dont really want a light phone either, i think its good to have a little weight otherwise its just going to feel like a kids plastic toy.
I don’t remember saying ALL in my original post. I think I implied that people will bitch and moan about a bent phone in hopes that it will be replaced despite the fact that it was their forgetfulness that caused it to be bent. I also believe that Apple has been replacing them anyway.
thats were we see differently, you claim it as forgetfulness i see it as it shouldn’t be an issue as other devices dont do it, why should i have to worry, i dont want to have to worry about things like that so ill just get a competitors phone and not worry about taking it out of my pocket etc. Im not saying he iPhone is a bad phone, its just a pity it has this issue which has turned me off the device.
Thats why America is great…. Choice.
If you like a little HEFT buy the way – I think I still have one of the original Motorola BRICKS in my moms basement. I bought it at a garage sale but at the time it still worked. I could have her send it to you.
You seem a little uneasy and cranky, like ive attacked you or come here to talk crap. I dont need a Motorola brick as the competitor flagships out atm arent bending so i have a choice of all of those, im still yet to make a decsion. Why does it make you so uneasy that im not making the same decsion as you? or choose to believe that the phones do bend based of what i have seen online and seen with my own eyes from my friends partners phone being bent.
It was actually a joke to lighten the mood. Ill remember the /S next time to make things easier.
Although this point is Valid conversely People can’t keep saying or Acting like ALL 300 Reports ( “Claims” ) on this site are indisputably valid
No one is interested in bad press over other people’s products like they are about Apple. Why? Because they just want to find some reason to discredit Apple when it’s too easy to discredit Android/PCs because they simply suck in more ways.
What’s funny is how much difference there would be in the number of bent iPhone 6/6/+’s and the adoption of Lollipop OS. I’m sure the number would be equally as low. :-)
Imagine, people wanting to run an OS called a “Sucker on a stick”. I couldn’t resist… ;-)
True! The same thing happened earlier this week with some crazy story about Apple needing to have a massive recall for having defective nand flash memory causing crashes. ONLY a 159 posts managed to come up on Apple support forums with many of those from the same people. And this became a story. It was debunked by 9to5 mac.

It won’t because while iPhone users are adamant about their brand loyalty, they do not feel the need to lie and deface the competitor. I’d bet that the people who started this were Android users. All Samsung ads kick Apple. All Apple ads talk about the product. And Samsung has been caught paying people to review Apple products negatively so why would it surprise anyone if they sponsored this bendgate thing?
Google “Samsung Caught” and see how many things pop up. Samsung caught paying people to dis Apple with bad online reviews. Samsung caught cheating on benchmarks, and about 10 others. Why didn’t those go Viral? Because TRUTH doesn’t matter when you just gotta hate.
Yes, it will be 10 seconds before some idiot brings up the Mac vs PC commercials so Ill just go ahead and say this in advance of that. Those commercials were about platform choice, not a particular vendor. Samsung ads mention Apple exclusively and no one else. Where are the Samsung HTC, Microsoft, LG, ads? There are none because Apple is the only one that is relevant to them.
Here comes another ‘johnny come lately’ looking for his 15 minutes of fame.
Consumer Reports refuted this issue as a design flaw, when they demonstrated how much pressure was required to bend an iPhone.
Continued cases of iPhone 6s bending reflects how badly that some users treat an $800 device. This issue isn’t about the iPhone bending, its about the idiots that subject their iPhones to that kind of abuse. Then whine about it.
Consumer reports tests were flawed, plenty of info out there on that. As for blaming the user, if the competitor phones are not bending why should Apples? and then you blame the user? wow. Look at the site this article speaks on, they all have descriptions of how their phones bent, many in their front pockets. There was also a case of one bending, the battery venting and burning the individuals leg, but hey maybe he shouldnt have had it in his pocket right? smh
Since you seem to be very pro-bendgate, I’ve gotta ask, do you actually own a bent 6/6Plus? Because I’ve had a 6Plus since launch day, without a case ever, in my jeans pocket daily, and I’ve got zero bending issues. All these commenters on here harping on about bendgate, bendgate, bendgate, but I doubt many (if any) of them have experienced it first hand. I just don’t understand why everybody is so keen to throw apple under the bus for this non-issue if you haven’t actually even been personally effected by the situation?
It may be a non issue to you because you have the phone and are happy with it. Im shopping for a new device and bendgate has turned me off Apple. I have many people tell me their phones havent bent but im a witness to one case, a friend of mines partners phone bent in her pocket and she is an honest lady from what ive seen over the many years ive known her, she has no reason to lie to me.
Let’s assume that these iPhones are separate, real, and not purposefully bent:
It seems to be a little sketchy to say the least. I own a 128GB 6 Plus and I wear skinny jeans without a case. I’ve been pretty conscious about seeing if this thing will bend. It is a large slab, so it’s not impossible for it to bend, but I find myself putting a good amount of force on my phone, and it hasn’t bent. Now, I only have my personal experience on my side, but it does seem like people are saying, “Don’t put it in your skinny jeans”. Okay, so I put it in my skinny jeans and I’m still rocking a zero degree iPhone. Am I doing it wrong?
Edit: I think my statement might imply that I’ve tried purposefully bending it. I haven’t. It’s a matter of seeing whether it bends in the pocket from a normal day’s use. Things like: bending over to tie my shoe, I went to an amusement park and went on roller coaster with it in my jacket pocket, the phone was against some of the restraints, that’s gotta be a good amount of force; rough-housing with it in my pocket, etc…
Ditto on owning a no case 128GB 6Plus since launch while keeping it in my skinny jeans daily with absolutely no bends. Seeing multiple testaments from myself and others that Actually Own an unbent 6Plus in the comments on nearly every bendgate article means worlds more to me than 300 photos of iPhones bent under dubious circumstances.
Had my iPhone 6 plus since release day, I’ve worn skinny jeans and super tight jeans. No bend, if you’re a moron and don’t look after a $1249 AUD device. Then that’s on you.
Sounds like Samsung are involved, seems like they’re losing the war on all fronts and this is their only retaliation.
I haven’t seen one bent phone in the flesh yet.
Are you serious? blame the user? blame Samsung? haha wtf? who else do you want to blame? everyone but Apple right? smh
Well there seems to be a lot of dumbass users out there. Forcibly bending a phone is also pretty stupid, but guess what some stupid moron did that too. Samsung made an ad about the bend even though the note bends just as well. So if you sit on your phone Apple should replace it, that makes no sense.
Thats simply not true, ive seen many bend tests including the Samsung ones and from what i have seen the Samsungs are not bending in peoples pockets like the iPhones are, there are no reports of it anywhere. Im not an Apple hater, just a consumer who is quite amazed that a company brought out a product with a slight fault yet so many blame the user and not the company, Apple must be loving it. The original bend video the guy did, did it because his phone was already bent from being in his pocket so he just tested it further, then when people complained that it was already bent and that was the reason it bent so easily he did another one with a brand new iPhone with witnesses in public and it seemed in that vid to bend even easier. That same guy tried to bend a couple other phones but the iPhone stayed bent. If you sit on your phone and it bends and no other phones do bend then i sure as hell would be complaining especially when Apple talks about durability so often. Now if all phones bent like this then so be it, but my issue is the competitors are not doing it so Apple being praised as the leader in this field should not have this issue. No matter what product i bought, if it broke or whatever and the competitors product didnt and they were equally priced i wouldnt be happy. I find it weird that i feel most would not be happy in this situation but because this is Apple its different some how?
Seriously? It’s the thinnest phone in its class. It’s made of aluminium, what do you really expect? If you can’t or won’t look after it, don’t buy it. As I said, mine is fine because I don’t sit on it regardless of what pocket its in.
I expect it to be as durable if not more then the competition, im paying the same if not a little more so thats what i expect. I have always looked after my phones, i have never cracked a screen, dont use a cover and my phones and they still look like new, barely scratched or anything, i feel im a very careful person. I have owned larger screened android phones and have kept them in my pockets while sitting and never had an issue, thats my point here, if my old phones at that size where durable enough why should i change my ways because of an Apple manufacturinig error, all of the people on this site can tell me its a non issue but how do i trust that? Im seeing more and more pictures of bent phones and im supposed to just believe the people on this site who are bias as hell being cult of mac? im not an Apple hater but im also not a follower and i do my own research for the products i buy and come to my own conclusion based on the evidence. Call me names, call me an idiot, but im my opinion i feel im doing the right thing by researching myself and not just accepting a bunch of randoms opinions on a bias site. I dont want to be classed as an iSheep but i do like Apple products, im just disappointed that they have this issue this time around.
I think you need to buy a Samsung phone because you’re clearly not in the mindset of I want the best phone on the market. If you believe everything you see on the Internet you need to get out more. Stop replying in this thread, if you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Simple really.
By the way, where are all these bend tests, the only official one I’ve seen shows that the iPhone 6 Plus can take more stress than the iPhone 6.
???
Really? ive seen tones of bend tests and none have shown the 6 to be weaker then the 6+. They are all over youtube, just search bent test phone and they will all show. You havent seen that amusing one of the fake bum bouncing on the new Galaxy Note 4? Or the original video that started all this? he bent a few other phones, well tried to anyways. From all the ones ive seen the Galaxy Note 3 always comes out on top, that thing is rather strong it seems but im after a newer device so maybe ill try the Note 4.
Do U have a iPhone 6 or 6+ and it bent in your pocket? Yes or no?
If no, STFU!!
No but a friends partner has bent hers in her pocket and from that to the reports of it bending why would i buy one now? I cant have an opinion on my next purchase? i have to STFU in caps may i point out, it frustrates you that much? im just researching a new phone, i didnt know id be attacked on the cult of mac site.
My question is : Do you own a iPhone 6 /6+ and was it bent in your pocket? If yes, show us proof. If not, STFU.
Don’t tell us your friend or grandmother had their iPhone 6 bent in their pockets or panties. Thats just plain lies. I can tell u i have MANY FRIENDS who own iPhone 6/6+ and they are all fine with their phones (inside their pockets).
And guess what? I don’t care u want to buy or don’t want to buy a iPhone or any phone. In fact no one cares. Thats your choice. At the end of the day, millions upon millions own iPhone 6 and others own different types of phones.
And guess what? I am “not frustrated”. But I see some punk like u pretending to “research for a phone and now decided not to buy iPhone because of reports “online” and blah blah”. Bullshit. U don’t like a iPhone don’t buy. Don’t pretend u want it and yet talk trash about it.
Yes u are entitled to your opinion. So am i : STFU if you don’t own an iPhone 6 that bent in your pocket. Back up your story from your own account instead of being other’s bitches.
ok so im only allowed to comment if i own the phone. Thats a pity because i was hoping for some assistance here but all i got was people calling me names and telling me to STFU, although some have informed me or understand where im coming from. Again there are no lies in what im saying, you dont believe me thats your issue my man, you have some trust issues that need to be sorted out and honestly i dont really care if you believe me or not.
I dont expect you to care if i buy the phone or not, you got it right, its my choice but i find it weird after you saying that, that you had to reply to my comments like you do care and the way you have replied you SEEM rather frustrated and even angry, it seems you need to sort some things out in your own life. I never talked trash about the iPhone, i am discussing the bend issue and what i see from reviews etc Pointing out an issue with a device is talking trash? that just shows me how you are thinking in your head, dont say anything negative about the iPhone or you lash out. Talking trash is different then pointing out the negatives of a device, you understand that right? every device has its negatives but are we supposed to just not talk about them until we own and buy the device? that would just be dumb
U want ‘assistance’ right? I am giving you ‘assistance’. Don’t buy the iPhone 6. Which part of my message u are not getting?
Again and again, u keep going on that the phone bents and u believe wholeheartedly from ‘images online posted by strangers’, and the story from your ‘friend’s friend who had the phone bent in her pocket’ So whats there to talk about?
Theres nothing to ‘discuss’ since your definition of discuss is bringing up ‘images online posted by strangers’ and your ‘friend’s friend’s phone’. On the other hand, we see u blatantly dismissed other peoples first hand experience who posted their messages here their iPhone 6 do not have bending issues. WTF.
If u can’t show evidence of yourself owning a iPhone 6 and it bents then STFU.
I do like the iPhone, just about everything about it i like except this bending issue, thats it, im not talking trash at all.
As i said in my earlier posts. I don’t care you like or don’t like.
Dont pretend to like. As i repeatedly posted : DO NOT BUY The iPhone 6 since u are convince it bends.
But don’t be a coward and pretend u like it. Its bullshit to me. Don’t cook up stupid stories that your friend who has a friend who owns an iPhone 6 has her phone bent in the front pocket. Do not be stoop so low. Just own up u hate the iPhone 6. Its okay by me. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. But don’t play innocent virgin with me. I know your type. Just own up u hate all those who disagree with u who do not accept your argument over the so called bending issue. Don’t be a low life.
300 bent iPhones, 300 people with more money than grey matter. Don’t care.
delete
128GB 6+ since release day. I’m terrified of the day that it bends and I get turned away from my AppleCare Warranty. Because of BendGate, I am more mindful of “rough activity” but I could still see that a bend is not an impossibility. Fingers crossed that I make it through my time with this phone unscathed.
It just goes to show you. Some people were raise to take care of their stuff. I never grew up in the era where everything was given to me by my parents. I always earned my own monies, so when I bought something, I took care of it. When you have something that is expensive, you should not abuse it.
300 bent iPhones out of what, 15M+ iPhone 6+ sold already? Give it a rest Cult of Mac –you look dumber by the day (if that’s even possible). Or should I be asking Samsung to try harder?
But we do not know how many of those 300 are bent because of people’s stupidity or just plain accidents etc. They don’t necessarily demonstrate that there is a fault with the product as the video may imply.
Now I think that there is definitely someone behind all this “bendgate” thing.
100 shots of the same iphone at different angles? iPhones bent in stores by teenagers? lol. Note 4 bends as well. Also, Apple has already changed internals of ip6 so that it takes more force to bend. This non-issue is all that Samsung has to not lose billions and billions of dollars making zero profit phones at the expense of google. Oh asia, oh asia.
Note 4 doesnt bend in the pocket from what i have seen, and if forced by hand it only bends very slightly from what i have seen, it seems much more durable, if you have a video showing otherwise please link it because im currently considering this phone but if it has bend issues like the iPhone ill give that one a miss also. Also did you visit the blog site or just watch the video? because the blog has the pics with comments on how it happened after each picture, the video is useless. How does Samsung have anything to do with this? smh they didnt manufacture the phone wtf? also could you please link me to something saying they have fixed the internals to make it stronger? i may still buy one if this is the case. But whats strange is you saying its a non issue then saying Apple fixed it, so if it wasnt an issue why did Apple rectify the issue?
It was an issue for a small amount of people so they fixed it. No one says it wasn’t an issue completely… Anyway, it doesn’t matter now. Samsung’s profits are gone so there goes any chance of funding good customer support. If you like the option of going in a store and walking out 10 min later if your phone is a lemon with a new device then the iPhone is for you (versus a month of fighting with samsung on the phone as they claw to every last penny they can make).
300. Out of over 25,000,000.
What kind of a loser moron would buy a phone for $1000 and put it in your back pocket AND sit on it. At least 300 idiot loser morons according to this video.
