iPhone 6 and Other Smartphones Prove Far More Difficult to Bend Than the iPhone 6 Plus [Video]

Posted September 24, 2014 at 11:27pm by
We've seen a video proving it's possible to bend the new iPhone 6 Plus with your bare hands but will the iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, HTC One M8, Moto X, and Lumia 1020 suffer the same issue?

Unbox Therapy has followed up their original iPhone 6 Plus bend test video with a new one that puts several other smartphones to the test.


Thankfully, the iPhone 6 performs much better than the iPhone 6 Plus, proving fairly difficult to bend. While there does appear to be some risk that you will bend the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus in your pocket, it seems much less likely to happen with the 4.7-inch iPhone 6. That being said, all the other smartphones tested did even better than both iPhone 6 models with the Moto X holding up the best.

Take a look at the video below and let us know what you think in the comments!

No more "Can it blend?". Now it's time for "Can it bend?"

This is the most stupid test ever. It's obvious that a phone that is twice as thick and made of plastic is hard to bend. I believe that this is a case for the Mythbusters.

so that makes every ceo phone maker state something to? Let's just say "whoever is crazy that they think they can change the world are the nes who do". That's what he'll say since you asked.
