- For days there has been talk of #Bendgate, name that has been named to the problem that makes the iPhone 6 Plus is twofold.
- After seeing the evidence submitted to the Apple device, now some say that the evidence is not entirely correct.
- New unofficial tests show that if you know where to press, the device could easily bend.
If you know how, it's easy to double the iPhone 6 Plus
It all started when some users started to say that the iPhone 6 Plus could reach bend in normal use after moving stored in the pockets of his pants. Then, as we showed in another article, we could see the guys from Tim Cook undergoing various tests on smartphones pressure to show that it was capable of supporting before bending. But it seems that this test was not cooked well and now some say that the Cupertino were wrong, because in this test we saw that the device was able to withstand 40.8 Kg. Pressure before bending, but it seems that it is not well.
Since we have been said on occasion all the hype is building around the iPhone 6 Plus because of the famous #Bendgate. Now Consumer Reports, the nonprofit magazine did some tests to find out how much pressure it would take to bend a series of high-end phones. And while the video showed that 90 pounds of pressure is needed to bend the Apple iPhone 6 Plus, another video showed how Hilsenteger Therapy's Lewis doubled the phablet of Tim Cook like a stick of butter. Unlike his first video, in which he admitted was edited by photographic subjects, the new test Hilsenteger made live in front of some people in Toronto.
A flaw in the design of the device?
Obviously, things are not as easy as they seem and there is a trick to double the iPhone Plus 6, because it is understood that the device is structurally weak. Using an image that we can see on the iFixit disassembly phablet, states that a person can see what the problem is. Placing a piece of metal to strengthen the area around the volume buttons, is too close cutouts button. This prevents the rod is sufficiently effective. A video image shows Hilsenteger Therapy's applied four pressure points. And instead of being centered, placed thumbs much closer to the side of the phone.
A CNBC video showing how Apple tests the strength of the phone shows only three points where the pressure is applied, with the fulcrum in the center of the device. Apple only got 50 pounds of force on the phone, 40 pounds less than the amount that Consumer Reports used to make the iPhone 6 Plus is twofold. But as Lewis Hilsenteger has shown, you can bend the Apple iPhone 6 Plus using much less pressure than that. All you need to know to do is to know where you have to make the pressure.
To this we must also add that a Reuters reporter who happened to go to one of the Apple stores in Stratford, England on Saturday, and surprisingly found a folded iPhone 6 Plus. As pointed in PhoneArena , in his Google+ page, the reporter noted that he made photographs as the phone was folded using its "Galaxy Note perfectly straight 3"
Looks like we might be facing a problem in the design of the device and that Apple may be forced to replace more devices than I thought because of this big problem. We'll see if this finally happens and what steps they have taken Cupertino. Do you think Apple will have to make a change in the design of the iPhone 6 Plus to avoid this problem?
