Case closed: Apple iPhone 6 Plus bends like crazy, other phones don't

The Apple iPhone 6 Plus bendgate scandal broke up just a few days after the 5.5-inch phablet arrived on store shelves, and it’s been the source of so much controversy since then. Starting with the ‘of course it bends, it’s a thin aluminum phone’ reaction that dismissed the issue almost as if an expensive $750 gadget was supposed to bend in such a way, to more detailed analyses of the exact reason why the iPhone 6 Plus bends (it’s the large

cutouts for the volume buttons that break the geometry, and it’s at those joints where the bending happens).

Now, we are seeing an uncut version that aims to put an end to all of the controversy. The iPhone 6 Plus bend test is performed out on the street with many witnesses, and it is compared to a different device (the Moto X 2014 edition).

The results are eye-opening: yes, the iPhone 6 Plus bends with a shocking ease, getting hugely deformed and practically unusable. The same and even larger amount of force applied to a different handset does not bend it at all. And with earlier tests showing how even kids are able to bend the phone easily, it seems that the case is closed now.

You can see the uncut version of this new and conclusive iPhone 6 Plus bend test right below. Note that this deformation could also puts you in danger of having a warped battery and that increases the hazard of battery damage (and you know that batteries in smartphones often explode).

Will this force an adequate reaction from Apple apart from a statement about ‘only 9 people’ officially

complaining? Time will tell.
