not about bending or breaking. but putting a phone in your back pocket is fine. but dont you ever find sitting on your phone in the back just uncomfortable? like from my nokia, sony ericsson to iphones, i just never could do it.

Wow G, that blows. Ive dropped my 5 the exact same way prob 4-5 times and its just got some scratches. Thats shitty
I carry my phone in my back pocket all the time but rarely sit on it. Only time is if im in a rush and thats only my car or comp chair quickly (both are nicely padded). Im 225lbs and am a lil scared of breaking it and under most circumstances it is uncomfortable -
I'm overprotective with my belongings. I always get some sort of insurance on my apple devices and usually have a case for them. There's no way I would sit on my glass iPhone though, let alone any other electronics.

My phone isn't nearly as big as my IH-MW, so it doesn't bother me to sit on it. Maybe my white ass is too fat!

Shit :o
Bad news G San

Finally, someone else who doesn't sit on their phone. Clearly we're the odd one's out here. Amazing and exciting. Will be chatting about in the office over coming weeks to see where people stick their phones!

I'm sure plenty of people don't sit on them, but as phones get larger the front pocket's a non-starter, especially for jeans-wearers.

Mine goes from left pocket all the time, just to draw hate from phone fade bitches

The 6+ is perfectly fine in my front pocket.

Just to reassure you, Snowy, I don't sit on my phone either.
I'm also not very careful with it, and have dropped it many, many, many times. I'm on my second case- the first one was cracked at all four corners (phone is still pristine; Seidio Surface cases ftw). When I put it in a pocket, it's in the right rear one. Also just for reference, my phone is bigger than the 6+, especially with the case, and it fits fine in the front pocket, but it's easier to get in and out of the back pockets
-
me too. i don't ever sit on my phone at all. yes it's in the back pocket when i'm walking etc but once i sit. out it comes..
-
Yeah my 6" screen phone and case fit in the front pocket too but its a hassle to get in and out and (sorry Gav) would make ridiculous looking fades because it would destroy the creases on the left side of the jean. Not that that's a real consideration, convenience trumps all n

There's a review of the iPhone 6 Plus on the Register.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/23/apple_iphone_6_plus_review/
What really got me was this: "Eyebrow-raisingly, therefore, the iPhone 6 Plus renders a 2208x1242 display downscaled to 1920x1080." That seems badly like a thought out solution, but it's probably the easiest way to work around API limitations and hardware availability.

Gross. I was reading a rumor that the Nexus 6 is going to have a 498 PPI screen. These arms races around specs aren't good for consumers. I can't imagine driving so many pixels is at all helpful for battery considerations.
-
Magazines are printed at 300 DPI, and I wouldn't see a lot of utility in going over that for a resolution. The Nexus 5 currently has a 445 PPI screen, and that's more than sharp enough.
Battery life on the Nexus 5 sucks. Given the slow pace of development in lithium ion tech, I can't see a bigger screened Nexus 6 (if it exists) as being helpful, unless Google go with a higher capacity (i.e. heavier) cell.
It's all marketing hype. About the only place I can see an advantage for a greater than 1920 x 1080 resolution is if you sit in one of the front rows of an IMAX cinema. (Which I have been known to do…) Beyond that your eyes probably won't be able to see the difference.

Well, a larger screen almost necessarily means a larger battery…
