Consumer Reports debunks 'Bendgate' through a series of tests

While many might doubt Apple's own claims after showing their testing facilities to several journalists, independent and trusted publication Consumer Reports got on the case of the 'Bendgate' claims and tested both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus as well as a host of other similarly-sized smartphones by applying more than 70 pounds of force to the device's centre.

Their findings? The iPhone 6's aren't as delicate and bendy as some would like you to believe and the iPhone 6 Plus is actually more resilient than the Phone 6.

Other findings, the HTC One M8 was the weakest device found in structural tests being the first to succumb to the torture tests. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was the toughest device in this particular test while the iPhone 5s and the LG G3 were tied at second place. So, the new iPhone 6's aren't the weakest phones out there according to Consumer Reports, "It takes a lot of force to bend these new iPhones and any other phones for that matter," end of story.

Check out their video here.
