Should Apple's New iPhone 6 Bend Like This? - Bloomberg

6 million views . how easy was this to do?



It wasn't easy at all, to be honest.



It was very painful to attempt to bend it because i am a big fan of the device and i have been using it for a couple of days.



I had received a couple of tweets from individuals saying that their devices were bending.



I received a message from a man -- from a family member who was expensing the same thing.



So let's check to see if this is a real thing.



The rest is history.



Did you try it with the iphone 6? the next video is in production.



I will be releasing the later today.



I have the iphone 6 as well as another highly requested found that people want to see compared, which is the htc 1m8 which also has an aluminum construction.



I am having some interesting findings.



I had no idea that this would get so much traction as it has.



People appeared to be very interested in the bend test.



What happened with the iphone 6? did it bend as badly?



I will be attempting it in the enough coming video but the construction is very similar.



They are both incredibly thin, aluminum construction.



The only benefit to the smaller sizes that those materials are not expanding -- not spanning wide as large of a device so they might hold up a little bit better.



They might be a little more rigid.



This is a very thin phone made of a malleable serial.



-- malleable material.



The outcome is something i've projected it doing -- i predicted it doing.



Does it still work?



Yeah.



It was still functioning completely fine.



Off-camera, after i completed filming the video, i attempted to bend it back.



That is when the screen actually cracked.



But the components are still operating.



For the average user who wears it in there from pocket, i don't recommend putting it in the back pocket.



For those who see a slight curvature, i do not see a problem using it at all.



So did actually cracked?



Yes.



At the weak point in the aluminum on the initial band, when i tried to bend it back, it snapped in that location.



Similar to when you are working with a pliable material.



On the band back it snapped and shattered the corner of the glass as well.



It sent some hairline breaks across the screen.



Kim, you have covered apple.



We are waiting for a statement from apple.



How big a problem is this?



Reputationally, it is a problem.



You don't want to be launching a new product where social media is trending bandga -- bendgate at this point.



How big a problem do you think this is.



If you are carrying it around in your pocket, is this really going to happen?



No.



what happened to me will not happen to you.



I applied as much force as i possibly could.



That they said, i find it to believe that these individuals who are interested in this trending hash tag our expensing something similar and then receiving a message from a family member who is not connected to the video i do believe it is for -- it is real.



When you spend $500 on a device, it even a slight bend is enough for them to go back to the apple store for a replacement.



You have an apple phone.



It's fine.



Here, let's try.



This fine and i don't wear it in my pocket with tight pants.



I don't know if this phone will be changing men's fashion.



[laughter] let me just try to bend it?



Mine is fine.



If i dropped it on the floor or dropped it in the toilet, it wouldn't work.



It is not software they can fix.



It could be a manufacturing issue, like the antenna that could not be fixed.



We talked to some folks who fixed these phones in shops around the country and they say this could be a good opportunity to buy a different case for your phone.



There have not been inundated yet with calls of actual problems.



They got calls from people asking about it but no one with the actual problem.



There is a team within apple that handles these issues, a new response to -- a response to new iphone steam.



They try to deflate issues early so it does not become a snowball effect down the road.



It is a starting point.



Can you bend or attempt to bend to the blackberry passport?



You are in toronto.



John chen just said the passport is an bendable.



-- is unbendable.



I will have to get in touch with him.



You looked like you were really pressing hard.



Somebody there should do the bend test right now.



All right, here you go.



Cory is going to try.



It is bending back.



I am going to break it, not bend it.



It didn't break.



It didn't band.
