Soon after the new iPhone 6 was released there were reports that the iPhone 6 Plus was bending in pockets, particularly if you had it in skinny jeans. Many of the company’s rivals then took to social media in order to capitalize on this issue, which Apple rubbished by saying that only nine customers had complained about this issue. To find out if the iPhone 6 really did bend two UK teens went to an Apple Store and recorded a bend test, but they made a big mistake, both of them showed their faces in the video.
They could be in trouble because they clearly went to the Apple Store with the intention of trying it out on units that they did not own. They damaged the store’s property and then went on their way. The teens did realize what a colossal mistake they had made which is why they took the video down from YouTube themselves, but this is the internet after all, nothing disappears here.
In the video the teens bend the iPhone 6 Plus until the display pops up, and they find that the iPhone 6 doesn’t bend that easily as opposed to its larger sibling. They then ask a store employee whether the device really does bend and are told that not under a regular use scenario.
The teens conclude that Apple’s larger iPhone 6 does have a problem and that the company should fix it because “this is just f-ing stupid.” I wonder how many would say the same about this video.
