It refers directly to the YouTube guy, and is an analysis based on what happened. It's done by someone that abbreviates because with bc, but the more serious issue is, there is no testing going on but a theory of what may have happened. A few diagrams are thrown in with some vectors (for that "legit" look).
Got a tip for us?

So you mean to tell me the Plastic Galaxy Note 3 is sturdier than pretty much all of the "premium build" iPhones? I honestly wasn't expecting this at all(no sarcasm).
Because the elastic yield point is much higher on that plastic than the aluminum. Plus the curved sides on the 6 make it significantly weaker than the straight sides on the 5s.
Can you explain how the youtube dude then has two different times on the displayed device? That alone says something fishy there and probably NOT true. Either way its the end users responsibility to take care of their devices. Not the company that makes them. If a user wants to put a large thin electronic device in her/her pocket then that's THEIR choice and when **** happens to it no ones fault but their own.
The M8 screen was popping out the device, what does it matter if the frame isnt bending the screen and glass are , weakest link in the device for the M8, and both events in both phones occur at roughly same lbs of force.
I don't know if the video is doctored or not. Go to an Apple store and handle the phone yourself. There is noticeable flex in the 6+ when pressure is applied that is not there in the 6. Do I think I could bend the + with my hands? Absolutely, and it would take a bit of effort. Does this mean it will bend in my pocket? No it doesn't.

Seriously - funny that the first comments on this post are "Bendgate: closed" with dozens of up-votes when the poster obviously doesn't understand how to analyze numbers.
"Yayy the new phones are way weaker than iPhone 5: case closed"
Nice black and white thinking you've got there... Nothing between "It doesn't happen" and "It's an issue",
The consumer reports video proved that while it happens, it's not an issue in everyday use and that it's been blown completely our of proportion.
Since when were Germans not people? Because I'm talking about just how people are the Germans of the third reich were just a good example.
I am looking forward to a smartphone that can withstand 500lbs. That would be awesome smartphone!!
No, now the posts will follow stating that these pictures were manipulated by photoshop or that it is not an issue at all, ...
Thanks, and that happened simply by you bending forward like in the video? If so, that's a problem...
Jesus is that the bend you were talking about?
I was hoping for something proper.
can hardly see anything there tbh
No, now the posts will follow stating that these pictures were manipulated by photoshop, etc...
Nope but we don't know how in reality he did that.
He says he's squatting down with his phone in his pocket
How do we know he didn't sit on it?

You must exert a lot of pressure when you sit on a phone. Here is that CR chart for your reading pleasure:

When is your Genius Bar appointment?
It will be interesting to see what they say about your phone.
