IPHONE 6 PLUS NOT SO BENDABLE AFTER ALL

The experts have weighed in — the iPhone 6 Plus is not so bendy after all.
Calling recent criticism of the new Apple product "highly unscientific," Consumer Reports decided to find out for itself just how pliable the device is.
The magazine ran what it called a "three-point flexural test" on the phone, and it passed with flying colors.

 

In the test, the smartphone did not start to "deform" until 90 pounds of pressure was applied to it. According to the watchdog magazine, Apple uses the same test and applies 55 pounds of pressure to make sure the device is strong.
"All the phones we tested showed themselves to be pretty tough," said the Consumer Reports study, published online Friday. "The iPhone 6 Plus, the more robust of the new iPhones in our testing, started to deform when we reached 90 pounds of force, and came apart with 110 pounds of force."

Videos of customers bending the iPhone 6 Plus went viral last week, even though Apple claimed only nine people oficially complained.
