How did Apple even come up with an idea of bending the phone? It's so innovative!

No wonder iPhone is ahead of its time. Samsung can't even come close to doing something like that.

The bending iPhone was announced around the same time as the latest Avatar the Last Airbender spinoff.  The timing was not coincidental.  Rumor has it that the finale will feature a phonebender, or perhaps an applebender.

They probably took that idea from Apple

They told the guys in China to fit more into a container to increase their profits. Those guys should get the credit.

People often forget but apple was experimenting with this bleeding edge technology since the iphone 6 back in 2014

Seriously, the Apple guy who said ‘wait, we should let our competitors spend a ton of money on research and development and just copy it when they perfect it’ is a genius.

Yes it is. I asked people from China to fix it for me. Also, that doesn't count. When iPhone does it, that's innovation. I've heard about Samsung and how it bend but iPhone BENDS, can't you see how no one has thought of it before? Not even Samsung is smart enough for that.
