The heat is on. Apple introduced its new iPhone 6 and
consumers are ready to put it to the test. What is the real story on the new
Apple iPhone 6?
In the first six days of sales,
nine customers contacted Apple with a bent iPhone 6 units (out of approximately
10 million sold initially.)
Several outside sources decided
to see how much pressure was needed to permanently bend the iPhone 6.
According to Anthony Wing Kosner,
a contributor for Quantum of Content and
Innovtions in User Experience, given enough force, the iPhone 6 Plus will
bend but the amount of force required ranges from 90 to 110 pounds. The difference is if you are looking for it
to bend or actually cause full screen separation, an unlikely event with
everyday use. The smaller, thicker iPhone
5 did even better and showed no noticeable deformation up to 130 pounds.
