A video of a man bending an iPhone 6 Plus became viral on
YouTube and now many people are attempting to bend their own iPhone. The iPhone 6 Plus can be bent, if enough pressure
is applied on a certain area. It seems like a big number of people have an
issue with this but with enough pressure any metal can bend. People are
entering Apple stores to purposely bend the iPhone 6 Plus, this is what it has
led to, people are purposely damaging devices that they haven’t paid for and
getting away with it.
Again, we are talking about people purposely trying to break
and bend a phone. This does not show that there is something wrong with the design,
this shows how people are so immature towards this discovery. Two teenage boys
from London video themselves bending the iPhone 6 Plus in an Apple store and it
was probably the first video that was posted in the actual store. This video gained
so many views and even gained attention from the police. Not long after one of
the boys posted saying not to break anymore iPhones.
In fact, it’s not the only phone that can be bent. The HTC
One can also be bent with the same force as the iPhone 6 Plus. Everything has a
weak spot and with enough pressure applied, it will defiantly bend. It is like
going into a store and purposely squeezing yourself in the smallest size to
show that the stitching isn’t strong enough. So does it mean that there is
something wrong with the design of the clothing? People are trying to prove the
point that this device is faulty but people are not proving a point if they are
deliberately breaking the device. People need to stop intentionally breaking
iPhones just to get views on YouTube.
