Consumer Reports Weighs in on iPhone 6 Bending

Due to the release of the iPhone 6, consumers have wanted Apple to be tested to see how much pressure their devices can withstand. The Plus version of the iPhone can withstand 90 pounds of pressure, while the regular iPhone can withstand only 70 pounds. The most durable phone recorded, the Galaxy Note 3, can withstand 150 pounds of pressure, over twice the amount of pressure and iPhone 6 can withstand. I feel that Apple should try to make their phones more durable so that consumers want to buy their products. Phones need to be durable so that they won't break all the time and won't have to be replaced. If consumers know that the iPhone 6 is less durable than another device used for the same purposes, they will try to purchase the one that will probably last longer. If Apple continues to want to gain money from people, they need to find a way for their devices to be able to withstand pressure equal to or greater than their competition.
