iPhone 6 Subjected to Bend Test, Proves More Durable Than iPhone 6 Plus

If you are the type of person who likes to keep your phone in your back pocket while you go dancing, running, and sitting on it for 18 hours straight then a 5.5 inch, 7 millimeters-thick phone made of aluminum is probably not the right phone for you.
No, it's not surprising. It's a question of surface area tension and your lack of basic dynamics of a statically applied load just reinforces how ignorant the world is of Classical Mechanics.
samsung and other brands CEO's must be banging their head on the wall right about now.
people line up for days to pay top dollar for phones that bend, scuff, comes in late with the technology and limits features for no other reason than to tighten the user's experience (and dependence) to the "ecosystem" which they claim is *good for you* whilst other manufacturers actually produce very good solid premium phones and struggle to sell them (eg. HTC).

This is getting tedious.
I expect that competitors/Apple haters have a big secret meeting every time a new iPhone launches where they try and come up with something they can use the justify their existence.
"Applying excessive force leads to breakage" is pretty desperate though ...
I just hope the battery gets broken bad enough to put these idiots up for a Darwin Award.

If you're gonna go to all that trouble...
If you're going to potentially destroy thousands of dollars worth of tech - at least make it worth your time by using some consistent method of applying pressure. Perhaps even something approximating the pressures applied in a pocket.

6 PLUS = best phone ever
dude the 6 plus is a great phone I wouldn't go back to the 5 if Samsucks paid me too.
cheers

Im thinking this is a good thing!
The new 6 is so thin, I'll be able to put it in my back pocket (in it's case)and sit on it
and it won't kill it!
I'm thinking that the 6 WITH its case will be no thinker than my 4s without it's case?
Um...really not big on sitting on my phone...just having a laugh
He still doesn't try to bend a straight iPhone 6+ on camera and without sketchy time stamps on the phone shifting in time.
Bend Forwards!
In all bend tests they bend the phone backwards. Why?
Due to the asymmetrical nature (front is very different from back (both inside and outside)), there could/should be a (big) difference in bend-ability between bending forwards and backwards.
It's like doing only half of the test. Think about drop tests, these always consist of multiple directions.
My gut feeling says that the iPhone 6 may well be much more resilient when bending it forwards. If that's the case, we should know this: Simply put the phone in your pocket with the screen facing outside and voila.

This just in, if you put the iPhone 6 in a vice and tighten it all the way, it will shatter. Buyer beware.
and if you put in your back pocket, you will bend it, FAT ASS....
please note I am not calling an¥one on here a fat ass....just the tool who sat on his new phone and bent it
