iPhone5 Could Adapt to the Shape of Your Bottom


Recommended Posts

Hmm, seems a bit weird as you would have to put a serious amount of force on it to bend like that. Let alone so perfectly.

Any more photos of it from other the other side or different angles?

Seems like the iPhone 5 has beaten the Samsung Galaxy S4 to the bendable display :laugh:

Who put their phone in their back pocket, let alone sits on it. :|

I do a lot, but my wallet is in the same pocket, and the phone would be closer to my body, plus usually being in so tight, the phone isn't all the way down to the bottom of the pocket, so really it doesn't get all the pressure on it..

C'mon people, putting it in your back pocket is asking for trouble. Bending would be the least of your concern - I'd be more worried about pickpocketing.

Plus with the trend of heading towards larger phones, I doubt they'll even comfortably fit there unless you have a really flat arse :p

This is why my phone goes into my front pocket along with my wallet.

I don't even know why there is a back pocket. Unless you have a lot of fat back there its very uncomfortable sitting on something like a phone or wallet.

I would find it very weird to not have back pockets. I use them more than front pockets. I only use the right front pocket for change, keys, and lighter.

If the secondary front right pocket of pants is big enough for my phone, I use that sometimes, but those pockets very seldom are big enough.

Hmm, for anything but a tissue or temporarily carrying stuff in it from A to B it really is uncomfy as hell.

They beat Samsung by bringing the bendable phones first.

You're rolling in late, have a look at page 1 :p

I wonder if Apple will use this when they patent flexible displays.....

But seriously, dont be stupid and sit when your phone is in your back pocket. Mine goes in my front pocket, never in my back.

I wear mine on my forehead with a headband. I get better signal strength that way.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
