Oh boy. Apple, what were you thinking with the thinness of this phone. Especially when it's made out of aluminum, a pretty soft metal!

Oh yeah, and now iOS 8 is basically bricking phones.

"It's the consumers fault!!!"

Note 3 has 0.03 inches more thickness and it doesn't bend with even more force put into it. Just extremely bit on prolonged force.

at least the screen didn't break

It broke when he tried to bend it back in a further video.

at least the screen didn't break
It can, some people who have tried bending it back break the aluminum and the screen.

Lol.

In all serriousness though, I don't think apple will ever make a product that allows users to repair their own phone without sending it to apple and paying.

Apple should have used an alloy (like steel) because theyre harder.

Yah, but Apple wants to make it as light as possible. Steal is quite a bit heavier than aluminum.

Not that I agree with their design choices, but steel would be noticeably heavier.

You know you've made the phone too thin when the camera lens doesn't have enough room inside the phone and has to stick out.
