The verdict is in: You can bend an iPhone 6 Plus. But unless you are really trying to do it, it probably will be fine.
That's the conclusion coming out of phone warranty provider and durability tester SquareTrade, which ran some basic bending "tests" this week on the iPhone 6 Plus at The Washington Post's request after reports circulated that the 5.5-inch phone is warping from the strain of being in people's pockets.
Apple itself on Thursday acknowledged acknowledged that it has received reports of the phone bending. But cases are "extremely rare." Out of the millions of phones sold, Apple said a total of nine customers contacted the company about a bent iPhone 6 Plus.
Apple performs "rigorous tests throughout the entire development cycle including 3-point bending, pressure point cycling, sit, torsion, and user studies," a spokeswoman said in a statement. "iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use."
SquareTrade's tests are worth noting, even if they likely fell short of what Apple did in its labs. For the first trial, SquareTrade asked two of the most physically fit members of its office to try and bend some phones.Comment
