      The anecdotal situation that started a shitshow and ended up dying immediately. It quickly became a non-issue.

          He basically did a test where he bends the phone to check the bend-ability of it. The titanium frame survived, but because the middle portion of the phone was weaker, the glass bent and broke anyway.

          It isn’t exactly a non-issue, because situations like this can and will happen. It was however, blown out of proportion, because it was testing an extremely niche situation.

            Pretty much yeah. It put it into the zeitgeist that “the iPhone 15 PM is so much easier to break than any other iPhone and you should be worried”, and by and large it never turned into some outlier massive situation. Nobody has really talked about it since.

              I do feel that he has a point though. Although he failed to properly test what he intended to show, it does show a weakness in the design. A phone rarely experiences such a uniform force when it’s dropped/ sat on.
