Earlier today, we shared several photos and videos from iPhone 6 Plus users who had accidentally bent their phones after carrying the device in their pockets, mere days after the phone's initial launch.
The force placed on the iPhone 6 Plus in the video is unlikely to be replicated in a pocket, but as several photos have demonstrated from our earlier post, it does not take much force to cause a slight curvature in the device.
YouTube video maker Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy has created a new video exploring just how much an iPhone 6 Plus will bend when subjected to force. Using his hands, Lewis bends the iPhone 6 Plus, with significant warping showing up near the device's volume buttons.

Bending is not limited to the iPhone 6 Plus. Previous generations of the iPhone, including the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5s have also seen complaints of bending after being subjected to a pocket.
Apple has not yet commented on the iPhone 6 Plus bending incidents, but iPhone 6 Plus owners can likely prevent bending by removing the phone from their pockets before sitting or bending, or by placing the device in a rigid case.
