iPhone 6 Plus Bending Limits Tested in New Video

I find bending aluminum with bear fingers and calling it a "test" for "scientific" reasons is eff-ing ridiculous.

Those looked remarkably like human fingers to me

My 4S doesn't have that feature. Damn it Apple, keep leaving us in the dark!

How exactly is this a "test"? Guy bends an iPhone and it bent. Wow :|

for the sake of Science?

more like for the sake of Youtube money.

I have a 6+ on order currently. I'm also a mechanical engineer by day. I see a lot of "well duh if you bend it, it's going to bend" type comments, but it seems clear that this is something Apple overlooked. They should have predicted that under many normal circumstances people were going to put this phone in their front pockets. The phone shouldn't bend that easily. The guys phone was noticeably bent even before forcing it with his hands. Apple simply failed to analyze this scenario. It makes me wonder if they even run any kind of structural analyses at all on their phones, a simple Finite Element model would show this phone lighting up like a christmas tree at the weak spot in the case (clearly near the volume buttons), and could be reinforced fairly easily without sacrificing thickness of the overall device. Jony may be a good designer, but he is clearly a *****ty engineer.

Suffice it to say, I will not be putting this phone in my pockets ever.

Thin metal things bend - wow - and in other news bears continue to do business in woodland areas.
