The plot thickens. If there is grain of truth in this, I think Apple should go full speed with a lawsuit.
Well that brightened my day with a hearty laugh... thank you!

What exactly would the basis for the lawsuit be? Perhaps the lawsuit could extend to all cases of questionable reporting, like the CNN guy who used a limp effort to bend his phone to show that it isn't bendable? Or the other reporter who showed himself repeatedly sitting/standing with his phone not subjected to a squeezing pocket, but implying that disproved bending in tight pockets over time? And imagine the legal possibilities for the people who dared to drop and shatter their phones on purpose... oh, the humanity!

I think the initial damage has been done (no pun intended) and all there is to do at this point is to wait and see how the phones hold up "in the field" as millions use them for a couple of months. If they prove durable, we won't hear much more about it. If warping proves to be an issue, then the fact that it was well-publicized will be a useful thing for the consumer, as they'll be able to get replacements en-masse.
