31.8kg of force to bend the iphone 6 (70lbs)
90lbs of force to bend the iphone 6 plus
130lbs of force to bend the iphone 5
I n this article tests are carried out to see how strong the iphone 6 and 6 plus are compared to other competitors on the market like android and HTC phones. The test concludes that the body of the iphone 4s,5 and 5s were all significantly stronger than the new phone. This is due to the fact that the body of the new iphone consists of much more aluminium than any of its predecessors. It took 31kg of force to be pressed at the back of the iphone for the phone to bend.
I think that the majority of Apple fans and consumers may still choose to buy the product as they may see it as a necessity however a lot of them in my opinion will also doubt its durability and therefore may think twice about buying the phone which could result in a decrease of demand for iPhone products.
