Depends on the depth of the pockets. My razr rests flat against my thigh, well below the bend.
Yes, Hip-Hopper are clearly at an advantage here, as are those with tiny phones like a razr. 4.7" assuming you have the "huge" HD? Are you seroius with your micro phone?
Even more interestingly, the Samsung didn't permanently bend, but the flex of the case allowed damage to the screen. The Sony failures occurred in BACK pockets. The sole Blackberry bend occurred from "unknown causes" - which could have been anything the owner doesn't want to admit, not just a front-pocket failure.
What do you think is so damn special about a front pocket that it would magically protect a phone? As soon as the phone lies across the hip joint, the force on it when sitting down is far greater than the fattest ass could manage.
And yet I've had two of those phones and I've never experienced anything close to the bending issue. Neither has anyone I know (Blackberries and S4's are pretty prevalent through my friends and co-workers), nor have I seen any news about it.
Exactly. We only have discussion threads with hundreds of posts discussing the issue of those phones bending, and no news reports for any but the Apple phones. It looks like we found the true difference after all.

I find it curious in their examples, that four of the nine devices susceptible to bending are Apples, and one of the five non-Apple examples involved the device being smashed while sitting on its docking station. If one eliminates that specific outlier and focuses on phones that bend while in their users' pockets, then the iPhone line is a solid half of all types reported in their article.
Yeah, there are more reports about problems with Apple phones - because they sell far more units than any other phone model. And its inconceivable to find more examples of other phones bending by simply Googling.
Ooops, wrong phone.
I addressed it squarely. Advertisers don't get information from Google, but don't complain (much) because Google is so effective at targeting.
Yawn. http://adage.com/article/digital/amazon-apple-catch-a-break-madison-ave/291724/ "Apple might come out ahead of its competitors on data, if it would share. "It's one of the best in terms of data quality and accuracy but I think Google is a little more open," said Dan Grigorovici, co-founder of mobile-ad firm AdMobius, "
I repeat: Apple has better data, and Google shares more of it.
Oh, look, another dude who thinks can twist my words. The world is overflowing with your likes.
And I thought Android winning? Yeah, the world is full of people who are not as dumb as you are. Deal with it.
Who cares about performance anymore.
People who want a better phone and aren't marketing for Apple.
Only on Slashdot they can turn the fact that the Iphone 6 bumped the iPhone 5s from spot one to spot two, while still beating the now spot 3 by being only a little less than twice as fast into a slam on the performance.
Oh, and one thing the surprised-by-the-result article doesn't understand is that they completely ignored that Apple's goal was to increase performance durably and not just for the first few minutes of demand, followed by a large drop afterwards.
They are paying with their personal data, which Google hoards and then sells to third parties.
Google doesn't sell or otherwise share data with third parties. Google uses it to decide who to show third-party ads to.
Let's put it this way: advertisers have complained that Apple doesn't share enough private data with them. They never had the same complaints about Google.
Advertisers absolutely have complained that Google doesn't provide them with information about users.
Sure - they just keep it a secret. I certainly can't find anything at Google - unlike the stories about Apple.
Except if you look at the data, it absorbed about half of human CO2 emissions *throughout* history, including recent history:
/quote> And again "recent history".
Yeah, but that, apparently, is not because everyone wants it, it's because people can't afford iPhones. That's what Apple fans say, anyway.
So people like you say Android is cheap trash.
