That guy is awesome. Like he said, slightly thicker, bigger battery, no camera sticking out, no bandgate! Just do it Apple!

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

Because the iPhone 6 is larger than the iPhone 5/5S, and people said the iPhone 5/5S also bends.
So we're gonna have "drop" and "bend" tests for future phones the thinner they get? lol.. Give me a break.. Get a damn case for your phone and call it a day.
I think the "surprise" comment came from the fact that the iPhone 6 is slightly thinner than the 6 plus which the thought was it could have countered the leverage.
That clown is anything but awesome. He just another self proclaimed expert.
Does he really have the ego to believe he has thought of anything Apple has not considered and weighed carefully?
He is just another jackass essentially saying "Apple would finally be successful if they only listened to me!"
let's see his smartphone design that will sell 10 million over a weekend.
That's an interesting, but incredulous theory……
Maybe a pre-emptive strike?, as in they realized at a late 'hour' the larger one's propensity to bend more easily, when it was too late to go back to the drawing board, and decided a little 'cautionary' publicity was better than replacing
~20 Million (or whatever) 6+ iPhones later on.
As for the rest, yeah a little common sense is in order here, and if we treat these devices like the delicate electronic instruments they are, I doubt they'll get bent.
Looks like the ability to bend the phone is directly proportional to how much anyone would want it 
The guy doing these bend "tests" is an idiot.
How is bending with with your hands tell us anything? Where are the metrics?
If your going to test something at least show us a real life example, ie someone bumping into with the phone in your pocket, or doing some type of exercises in tight pants.
His tests proven nothing and looks like there is no science behind them at all.

Only if you assume this is a real problem that's actually happening to people during normal use. I, for one, do not.
Maybe I'm weird, but that isn't surprising to me at all. It makes perfect sense when you consider the size difference.
It makes me feel better about myself, really. I know that as long as there are idiots out there who can't use logic, I should always be able to find employment and excel at my job and life.
Glass breaks
The glass screen breaks when you drop it sometimes. I do know quite a few people that have bent iPhone's 4's and 5's. Including some people that have cracked screens from sitting down.
Should Apple be forced to make shatter proof glass next? There goes my sapphire screen on my future 6S Plus.
I admit that maybe for the 6S's they can reinforce the sides possibly?
But I just don't see it a problem under normal usage.

This guy know nothing about mechanics.... Even a high school student knows how to explain that....
this is hilarious. I have just received my iPhone 6 plus. As a regular iPad user, I find this phone to be cramped and unusable as a tablet. Far, far too small. it is better than the four year old Optimus T it is replacing, but time will tell if it gets much use. so far, meh. I do not care about hyper thin, so I put it in a case....but this thing is so small...my iPad mini has not been replaced, that is certain.
I actually bought AppleCare+ but exchanged it for regular AppleCare because the proof of purchase that they sent me was too big to fit in my file bin as it was on legal size paper.
I love the mentality of this forum.
The dude posting the videos showing the iPhone 6+ bending is called an "idiot" and a "liar". Claiming the entire problem is "bullsh.t".
But then MKHKB or whatever his name is posts a video saying "Yeah, it bends. But you have to put a lot of force into it."
And everyone here rewards him with praise.
lolololololol... how can one be biased and the other be rational? Couldn't it be that they're both biased? Or perhaps even, neither biased?
Who knows. All I know is the iPhone 6+ bends if you bend it. The other phones don't bend if you bend them. There are videos online that back that up. Not just one video either.
So, Apple messed up. Isn't the first time, won't be the last.
Use this knowledge to make the correct purchase.

If you feel like you're being trolled, you're too big of a fanboy for your own good. Get a life. No one is out to get you or your precious precious corporation.
