The issue of the iPhone 6 Plus which users claim is easy to bend has attracted great attention from the world. However, according to an American magazine, Consumer Reports, this issue is actually too exaggerated.

According to a Ubergizmo report, Consumer Reports has conducted a self-test to test the iPhone 6 Plus. They also included other devices namely the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, LG G3, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and HTC One M8 for comparison. The experiment was carried out with an Instron compression machine which puts pressure on the center of the device with various pressure variations.

As a result, HTC One M8 and iPhone 6 were found to be the weakest devices. They are only able to withstand a load of 31.7 kg before bending. Then, the iPhone 6 Plus followed with the ability to hold 40.8 kg. The strongest were the LG G3 and Galaxy Note 3 which held up to 59 kg and 68 kg respectively.

Based on this discovery, Consumer Reports dares to state that the iPhone 6 and Plus are not as bad as the news circulating. "They may not be the strongest phones on the market, but concerns about serious structural design errors in the iPhone 6 and Plus seem overblown," said Consumer Reports.

Previously, Apple had also shown a test facility at its factory to ease the rumors that were being talked about through the hashtag #BendGate on various social media. They have also explained that the iPhone 6 and Plus are made of strong steel or titanium inserts. The Cupertino company itself has also formulated the aluminum it uses with glass ions to make it stronger.
