Consumer Reports Addresses The Famous IPhone 6 Plus Bend Gate. Can We Move On Now?
Another year, another iPhone launch, another scandal about a fundamental flaw in the new phone that goes viral on social media, then turns out to be nonsense.
By now, you have surely heard about the famous bending issue of the new iPhone 6 Plus. Putting aside that I have been using it as my main phone for days now and yes, I have been putting it in my pocket with no apparent bending, Consumer Reports put it to the test. A scientific test, that is.
Can we all move on now?

70-90 pounds of force is not a lot of pressure although it is apparently still acceptable. I don't suggest putting it in your pocket and sitting. This doesn't exonerate Apple, it just gives a precise figure for the bending to happen.
Once again, rather than being the leader in the market, they are proving to be the followers. Given this is their first large phone, I suggest waiting for their next and expecting them to at least come close to matching Samsung's specs.
