The iPhone 6 was one of the most pliable phones ever made, although not on purpose.

Soon after Apple released the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus—the first oversized phone the company made—in 2014, stories swirled that the phones bent dramatically from normal usage, like pulling the phone in and out of pockets. Videos popped up of people bending the phones with little effort, but Apple maintained they were built to the same high standards as any of its previous devices. New court documents uncovered by Motherboard today (May 24) show that Apple actually knew the phones would bend considerably more than the iPhone 5s before it released the phones.
