Interesting to see the iPhone survived the 30 minute bath. While this doesn't prof that the iPhone is waterproof (could be e.g. lucky and and air was entrapped in the earphone plug effectively sealing it off, as well does it still work one or two hours later?) I wonder if Apple is implementing such features as water resistance but deliberately chooses to not brag about it - just to avoid a bunch of weirdos trying to "proof" it's not, while in this way people who accidentally drop their phone into the toilet (#1 according to a person I know working in a phone repair shop) and are super glad it survived.
Had nothing to do with being in your pocket and everything to do with being carelessly smashed against the inner wall of a go cart, with force applied by gas-powered acceleration.
nope. have carried every other iPhone in same circumstances with no problems. when laid against my thigh there should be no lever action when pressed against another flatfish surface.
the Apple genius agreed. that's why Apple improved it.
My 6Plus has a slight bend in it. Probably from being in my front blue jeans pocket sometimes. I never put it in my back pocket. The problem of the 6Plus bending is real.
The "problem" is that people don't care of their stuff. The phone was bigger, more leverage and pivot not moving in pocket, thus more force exercised on it (more force put on the person too). It was the same strenght as the competition, so unless your telling me all phones were shit that year (and this year), not sure what "bending is real" even mean. You can bend ANYTHING if you want too.

Can we stop legitimizing these antics by calling them "tests"?
You don't test car crashworthiness by giving the keys to the cast of MTV's Jackass.

nuts. I told them exactly what happened. and they agreed -- it shouldn't happen.
check my post history, I'm the biggest fan. but this model was too weak.

It wasn'T weaker than the competition and probably 95%+ didn't bend at all; so, what does "too weak" even mean.
Unless they had a pressure plate on your phone during this activity, "agreeing" means nothing either way.
Maybe they tought you looked sincere and that was enough.
