The reports were then followed up by a video posted by a video blog called Unbox Therapy, which “for the sake of science,” conducted an iPhone 6 Plus bend test on camera. In the 4.5 minute video, Unbox Therapy showed that the larger iPhone 6 Plus bent slightly as host Lewis Hilsenteger applied pressure to the device with his hands.
“Unfortunate but under the pressure of my hand it does bend quite significantly,” Hilsenteger said in the video. “ Bottom line: here is it’s an aluminum phone, it is going to bend if you apply enough pressure like I just did. …..Not necessarily the piece of information you want to receive as owners of this new device.”
