I objectively look cooler than both of them, even without an iPhone.

That isn't what they said.  Apple said that they will no longer hold on to the encryption keys.
They will. They have probably received a secret court order to do that and say the opposite. That is how the NSA works.

Here is a nice video debunking the whole "bending iPhone" garbage. While I would like it to be true, spreading fake things about why Apple sucks only keeps people from real reasons as to why Apple sucks.

Pressing on it in the middle is not the same as pressing on it near the volume/power cutouts.

This isn't really accurate. The iPhone is bending due to people putting it in their pocket and sitting, not pushing on the middle of it with a huge bolt thingy.

It is probably sponsored by Apple.

I doubt it, considering Consumer Reports usually bags on Apple products, and the fact that their other tested phones were almost twice as strong as Apple's. This is why not enough people listen to why they shouldn't buy Apple, because people like Thork are so busy trying to be on the hate train (and failing at it) that they will dismiss very real problems with the products.

I don't see what the video proves. You can push 70lbs with your thumbs. Exactly as the first video suggests.

An average person can bend any thin phone on the market. This makes thin phones in general a bad idea, it isn't specifically a problem Apple faces.

I think the main problem with this test is that it spreads the load evenly over the back of the device. So the battery is taking much of it. The bent ones are one edge or the other.



I'd be more interested in a point load by those button cut outs.

The original bend dude has done a second video.
