Following up on complaints from a number of users who said that the iPhone 6 Plus easily bends when kept in a trouser pocket for too long, the United States (US) consumer complaints agency, Consumer Reports, held a series of trials.
Consumer Reports conducted tests on 6 smartphones, namely the iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Note 3, LG G3, and HTC One M8. All five were tested under load stresses ranging from 10 pounds (5 Kg) onwards until the device warped or even broke.
According to a report published on the official consumerreports.org website, it is stated that the test results show that the two new iPhones, especially the iPhone 6 Plus, are not as vulnerable as recently complained.
