iPhone Bendgate Was Real After All...

2018-05-25
what's up guys Lew here and I mean Dundas Square in downtown Toronto that's because I want to put all this conspiracy to rest with the bendgate controversy I have a brand new iPhone 6 plus so should we do this am i the Incredible Hulk am I a bodybuilder guys am I a regular dude so I woke up this morning I did the usual get on to Twitter take a little scroll see what's happening in the world of technology I happened upon a tweet from the verge what was the tweet exactly internal documents reveal Apple knew the iPhone 6 was more likely to bend in the previous model man you guys have no idea back when this happened this in front of me here this this iconic moment in video history day we're gonna be doing the official iPhone 6 plus bend test I got an iPhone 6 plus bent it and in the video guide around 70 million views right now it blew up I sort of dealt with it on going from that point forward from people online media outlets and even people in real life you uh you created this scenario sensationalism but here's the thing within there was apparently a little more truth than many of you might have thought the thing that's happening right now is a court case because what happened after the fact with this phone something called touch disease and I know many of you eventually experienced it because I received the tweets and emails Apple won't replace my phone or they want to charge me this much and I can't the top corner is no longer responsive to touch now because of this lawsuit Apple was forced to release internal documents about their own testing within those internal documents Apple's own documents they admit to knowing that the iPhone 6 and 6-plus were substantially weaker than any model they had made previous and more likely to bend over seven times more likely a lot of people looked at that video and he said loser just you're just trying to get some views right now I didn't know it was gonna get 17 million views alright I'd be lying if I told you that but the motivation to make that video was pure I got a message from my cousin dude I was snow yesterday I had the phone in my pocket I didn't do anything to it it was just in my pocket and he bent and he sent me this message and I was like oh my goodness this could be a big deal you know if these things are as weak as I think they are then there could be other changes that happen internally other problems now Apple has never publicly admitted that this device is particularly bendable they did eventually admit the touch disease thing but they said it was for some different reason they said they needed a little bit more epoxy around the logic board to reinforce it well people don't know this but before I ever published a video on YouTube I actually repaired iPhones so I had a little bit of knowledge you know what goes on the internal workings of these things that guy is probably crazy what that youtuber he's a youtuber ha but I had a feeling that something was catastrophic ly wrong with this particular design and so when the 6s came out I really want to get to the bottom of it I took the shell from the 6s and the 6 and I went to a laboratory a place that could do elemental analysis to tell you about the makeup of a particular material and realized immediately that in the 6s Apple had created a whole new alloy we always had this significant presence of zinc which points to 7000 series aluminum they added zinc to give it more stiffness you mean you're gonna change the whole material I thought only three people were affected it's not what you heard check wasn't it only three people so when the touch disease stuff started coming out I was like ah that little Ben I know how hard it is to make this stuff and to do it well you can't fix a problem until you identify it obviously there was upside for me with it with a super popular video of course but possibly to a certain extent that video may be responsible for that eventual alteration and you getting a better product Emmy I have so much respect for the individuals that spend their time to create amazing machines like these this channel probably wouldn't exist without Apple that's how much credit I'll give to Apple my earliest video editing software Final Cut Pro from whom Apple my laptop I'm using right now from who Apple if all ever did was come on here and tell you what you already knew that everything was great and that's all I ever said my usefulness to you it goes down so when you try to beat me into submission and say you're just a hater how does that serve you better you can't fix something until you identified the problem who knows how this lawsuits gonna go these internal documents now they at least say the Apple knew this thing was substantially over seven times more likely to bend in their previous models they at least knew that so it's up to people like me to get you as close to the truth as we can something like this it gives a little bit of validation it didn't start from some crazy chaotic place but let me see if I can bend a phone and watch the world burn that ain't where it came from so you decide you want to believe the press release fine you want your own imaginary truth fine but for me the reality has been exposed and I feel like I was on the right side of it and I feel like those of you that were out there that trusted me a little bit you were on the right side of it too but I'm gonna keep trying to get closer to the truth and I hope you guys keep listening
