Apples iPhone 6 Plus appears to have a hidden feature, though its one you might not want to test out. According to a report by MacRumors, Apples latest smartphones are susceptible to bending out of shape if kept in your pocket for too long.

MacRumors report is based on posts by two of its forum members. The first forum member, Hanzoh, said that he kept his iPhone 6 Plus in his front pants pocket for about 18 hours.
During that time, he said, he drove to a wedding, danced, and sat down for varying periods. Later, when he took his iPhone out of his pocket, he noticed that it had a slight bend at its midsection.
A second MacRumors forum member, DevinPitcher, claimed that his friends iPhone 6 Plus bent after his friend put it in his pocket and got into his car. Both Hanzoh and DevinPitcher provided photos of their iPhone 6 Pluses to back up their claims.
As MacRumors points out, past forum members have seen similar problems with the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s. Those owners reportedly received replacements for their bent handsets from either Apple or their carriers.
That the iPhone 6 Plus is capable of bending isnt out of the realm of possibility. The phone is not only Apples largest, but its also one of its thinnest.
In fact, Lewis Hilsenteger over at Unbox Therapy tried bending his iPhone 6 Plus after reading reports of its flexibility, and managed to put quite the kink in the handset. Though, it took a good amount of force for him to see any results.
