A more scientific method using a press and measured force:
It still seems like you do need to use a lot of force, though legs are capable of doing so. I wouldn't be worried about it happening at once really, but I do wonder what this means for long term effect, especially if you tend to carry your phone in the same direction (e.g. screen side 'in' to protect against bumping against something).

Well if you feel resistance from your phone when you sit down, adjust its position.
This guy is on the Samsung payroll. His performance was as laughable as OJ's saying "the glove's too tight..." Try bending the Samsung Note. On the other hand this whole thing could be orchestrated by financial people wanting to buy Apple on a created "dip".

He did do the Galaxy Note and the S5, are you not keeping up, this has already been posted.

Unless you're willing to take your phone out of your pocket almost every single time you sit down, that's not possible with a larger phone. I've owned a Note 3, One Plus One, and G2 at different times over the last year and unlike the iPhone 5 I've also used, you will feel it when sitting in a car seat or squatting to look at something and 10 other times during the day in various circumstances.
Larger phones will experience resistance, often pretty strong resistance, in day to day life if you wear jeans (normal jeans - neither skinny hipster or lumberjack baggy). Again I don't think this is a pressing issue where you squat once and it bends. It does raise some questions 6 months down the line after carrying it in your pants every day.
This whole bent iPhone 6+ fake controversy is absurd. I have the iPhone 6 and it is awesome. Does it flex? Sure, but so does my BMW 5 Series. If one watches the "scientific" videos, the phone will bend under an absurd amount of pressure at the weakest point of the phone. Just like you can damage my BMW 5 Series if you apply an absurd amount of pressure at critical points on the door and most of the interior controls. I keep my iPhone 6+ in my front left pocket routinely and there have been no issues. Just to see how much my phone would flex, I applied pressure to it. It flexed but it did not deform permanently. I applied substantial pressure to it. The iPhone is awesome and it is expensive. I would never think of not treating it thoughtfully. The iPhone 6+ , like my BMW 5 Series, will break if misused or intentionally abused. Under normal use for 6 days the phone has been awesome and exceeded my expectations.
There you have it, though I' m sure that number will jump up significantly, just no where near what the ant-Apple crowd wants to hear. So this has put to rest, can we now move on.

You managed to breach it…

KitKat hops on the iPhone 6 bend gate bandwagon

So Google are telling us that KitKat is broken?
Got it.

So is Samsung.

This has gone viral. The tweets over there:

Aaaahhhh that is so cute.
The Kit Kat loved all users regardless of platform.

Someone needs sued.

Aaple has responded. Only 9 complaints:

And half of them were the guys who were making the YouTube videos!
(for the lawyer types: no, I don't have data, I am just making a funny guess)
Nah, just let this die out.
that's why SJ said that large screen phones will fail. He knew it all along about the thin and bend.
interesting article that gives info on what Apple claims to do in its tests of iPhones
