Here's a riddle for you: a man puts an apple in his pocket. Ten hours later, he takes out a banana. What expensive product has he just purchased?

An iPhone 6 Plus, of course!

According to various reports, Apple's big iPhone has a weird habit of bending just under the volume controls. It occurs when people put their phone in tight pockets, or decide to place a bit of pressure on the back.

Naturally, people who've just splashed out over £600 on a new phone are quite worried about their device bending like an Olympic gymnast. If you're one of them, don't panic: just follow the handy hints in this surprisingly easy guide to not bending your iPhone 6 Plus.

If you're wearing tight trousers, don't put your iPhone 6 Plus in your pocket

We know that tight trousers are all the rage at the moment, but Apple don't seem to have taken that into consideration when designing the iPhone 6 Plus.

While most phones are able to withstand the pressure of our rage, the iPhone 6 Plus is a delicate flower that needs to be treated with care.
