Damn those kids are stupid and i hope they are punished! -_-
Anyway the Bending issue..People are over blowing the issue by desperately trying to bend it..it makes it look like any phone can bend considering the effort they are putting in it.To me it looks like the 6+ does have a certain weak spot.So could be an issue for people wearing tight jeans or riding on a bike/motorcycle with it in your pocket. Hope Apple stops dodging around and gets it sorted in the next batch at least.

Doesn't work?
Look how much more fluid video recording is on the 6+ compared to the LG G3:

Does the LG G3 use OIS for video recording?
If it does, then why its video is not as smooth as the iphone's video?

Apple cuts off German publication for showing #bendgate video
Wrong move. The best thing to do is just let this naturally die or apologize, but no butthurt Tim Cook can't handle it. I wonder how the ones who got the 6 Plus are using their phone. Put it flat on a table (not really, because of the protruding camera) and chant "please don't bend, please don't bend".
Meanwhile, no mention of the bendgate issue in iVerge's usual loooong home page but for a banana.

Despite faster A8, higher pixel count of iPhone 6 Plus drives lower FPS benchmarks

Have you seen the amount on Instagram ? its clearly not getting blown out of proportion.
This is now escalating into another Antennagate. Apple are downplaying it, Cook will probably blame the phone owner, then they'll back track and probably offer a free bumper case.
Its ridiculous this happens with Apple almost every time a new iPhone design is released. Are they really this clumsy ?
Again, I don't agree with the politics also, the fact they snub anyone who gives them negative press coverage screams megalomania. They're the business version of North Korea.
LMFAO ! GSM Arena couldn't have reposted it better ! Apple completely loses the plot
" Just when we thought that the whole #bendage thing was behind us, here comes Apple to reignite it all over again..
..Now whether or not an €800 phone should bend like that or if you should apply such force to it is beyond the point here. What’s important is Apple’s reaction to the case.
Instead of issuing an official response or pointing to the video of the test facilities or the low number of complaints, the company chose to stop working with the media, ban it from all its events and deny it review units in the future."
literally they couldn't have worded it better. Literally, LMFAO @ Apple, thumbs up to the wording of GSM Arena.

Apple bans German tech company Computer Bild from all future Apple events and will no longer supply them with review units due to them featuring the #bendgate issue on their own website only to be very surprised as to how easy it was to bend.

Now every blog site will be banned, except iVerge of course. GSMArena's got some balls, not easily deformable aluminum balls like the one Apple used on their phones but real steel balls!

This could really damage the Apple brand, I don't know of any official statement from them regarding the issue although they did release a promo video showing how they test the phones for impact and stress releated issues such as pressure on the screen. GSM Arena are probably big enough to supply their own devices if Apple we're to do the same to them. All this goes to show to myself anyway is that Apple is trying to cover the issue up but banning journalist/media/websites will only make things worse.
All Apple needs to do if there is a gunuine issue with the 6 Plus bending is hold their hands up, say sorry and have a resolution to the problem for anyone affected.
Kudos to GSM Arena as they even mention the BENDGATE issue in their key findings of the review of the 6 Plus
Key test findings:
•Premium build quality but you need to take extra care of it - aluminum dents and bends are not uncommon it seems
•Display is bright, with excellent contrast and sunlight legibility
•Connectivity options are good but all-purpose NFC would have been nice
•Battery life is on the better end of the phablet scale but talk time could have been better
•iOS 8 on the iPhone 6 Plus adds some limited split-screen functions but feature-wise iOS 8 trails behind what some manufacturers have been doing with Android (multi-app split-screen, eye tracking, etc.)
•Benchmark performance is stellar, among the best we've seen this year
•Loudspeaker is below average, and doesn't sound as good as the speaker on the smaller device
•Audio quality is excellent, with only a single minor exception
•Video player is quite limited in the supported video and audio decoders
•The best 8MP/1080p camera yet, but 8MP is the midrange of competing platforms. UHD video will become mainstream before your 2-year contract ends. Mono audio is a big issue, and one that could have been easily corrected by Apple.
•The protruding camera is not up to Apple's perfectionism, but practically a non-issue if you use a case.
Wonder if Apple will take action against them.
