Following the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus last September, some users began experiencing issues with the larger-sized smartphones bending in their pockets (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/23/iphone-6-plus-bending-pockets/) after **rmal day-to-day usage. The issue -- informally k**wn as "Bendgate" -- became widespread after a video test (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/23/iphone-6-plus-bend-video/) revealed it does **t take much force to cause a slight curvature in the device.

Apple later commented that an iPhone 6 Plus bending under **rmal use is "extremely rare (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/25/apple-responds-to-bending-issues/)," adding that it had received only nine complaints from customers about the issue at the time. The company said the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus feature a "precision engineered unibody enclosure" constructed from 6000 ****** a**dized aluminum and "stainless steel and titanium inserts to reinforce high stress locations" on the devices.
Nevertheless, it appears that Apple engineers have tweaked the design of the so-called "iPhone 6s" by strengthening the weak points of the smartphone's rear shell. A new YouTube video shared by Unbox Therapy shows that the areas around the Home button and power buttons on the "iPhone 6s" appear to be **tably thicker -- 1.9mm versus 1.14mm -- suggesting that Apple's next iPhones could be less susceptible to bending under **rmal usage.
Interestingly, the video shows that the "iPhone 6s" rear shell is also slightly lighter, despite having a thicker shell at certain weak points. The purported "iPhone 6s" rear shell weighs in at 25 grams, compared to 27 grams for the iPhone 6 rear shell, suggesting that Apple could be using a new material such as the rumored 7000 ****** a**dized aluminum (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/17/iphone-6s-7000-******-aluminum-kgi/) for its next-generation smartphones.
