Next iPhone casing is thicker, more likely to prevent "bendgate"
Although Apple has gone on record stating the the bending incident was blown out of proportion, it looks like the next iteration of the iPhone will see improvements in construction that should prevent the iPhone from easily bending. Unbox Therapywas able to acquire some of the parts for the upcoming iPhone and has found that some of the areas of the casing are indeed thicker than the previous model. Interestingly, he also found that the new casing is actually lighter than the old one. In addition to the build, it is also rumored that Apple will be using stronger materials this time around to prevent bending incidents.

The reason i didn't buy the iphone 6 was because it bended really easily. But now, i'm tempted to get one.

This is unrelated to the article, but I find it annoying that these "journalist" keep adding "gate" to the end of everything. I mean could you be anymore unoriginal?

I miss the old "thicker" designs such as the 4 and 4s, but I don't understand how you bend the 6 without being overly harsh on it. It's a piece of electronics... Not a brick. I've had one since launch, and I don't have so much as a scratch on it.

You think that with all the development they could finally make a reasonable phone in all aspects.
