After the last conference of Apple, many people seriously considering buying the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. However, I am aware that a large part of Apple fans may cancel the purchase of a new smartphone because of the fear of spontaneous bending devices. Are they justified?
Many users may seem that this issue is still current. In the end, a lot of Apple’s previous generation of smartphones It bent and destroyed during normal carry in your pocket, and the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are equipped with the same casing as last year’s models. Or so it may seem.

Although this year’s housing iPhones at first glance resemble those used in previous models, differs from them relevant details. These in turn greatly increases the strength of the device and can make the iPhone 6s, in contrast to its predecessor, there will be synonymous with trash.
First, you should remember why I iPhones last year to buckle.
The blame for this bear poorly designed housing. It turns out that the phone was designed so that the maximum torque performed in śrubce, right next to the hole on the buttons. Where there is the greatest moment, there are also a critical force and deflection. At the installation site buttons cross-section of the casing has a very small area, so the total preoccupation until the case was not possible.

minor problems is the fact that the screen housing or the circuit board are not properly attached to the housing. By virtually no signs of resistance, and the case-study easier. It should also draw attention to the cross-section of the enclosure at the installation location of a button. The upper part of the section has an extremely small footprint and is easy to extend.

The compression of the lower part of the housing here is not so clear and obvious, so this aspect ignore. As can be seen, the theory corresponds in this case practice. About how serious is the case, convinced a lot of people who unwittingly powyginały worth several thousand devices.

You might be wondering why this problem Apple is not noticed in internal tests. This happened because the machine aggravating used in the company from Cupertino smartphone is charged only in the middle, instead of at various sensitive places. With these synthetic tests showed that the iPhone is synonymous with durability. In fact it was quite different.
Fortunately, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus should not have such problems.
All due to differences in housing construction, which has been proved by vlogera channel Unbox Therapy. He had the opportunity to familiarize with the case of the new iPhone 6s a month ago and came to very interesting conclusions. After carefully measuring the new and old housing learned that around the hole on the volume buttons on its thickness is 1.9 mm instead of 1.14 mm.
This difference may seem small, but it means increasing the thickness of the element as much as 67%. This resulted in a slightly increased dimensions of the enclosure. These differences are not visible at first glance, but they can cause some accessories built to the iPhone 6 will not fit on the newer model.
Last observed by vlogera difference is a different spacing screws, but I can not definitely say whether this has an impact on changing the strength of the housing. But already these differences lead to the conclusion that Apple took to heart problems users and decided to redesign the cover of the new smartphone.
But this is not the end of changes.
In addition, Apple decided to use light 7000 series aluminum, which until now has been used in the watch Apple Watch Sports. To this melt is added to about 4-7% zinc, 2-4% magnesium and 0.5-1.7% copper. In particular, the addition of zinc makes it a powerful kind of aluminum, having a very high strength and hardness.
Last year such devices have a housing made of 6000 series aluminum is one of the most popular types of aluminum, which is enriched with Small amounts of silicon and magnesium and occasionally copper and chromium. This alloy is considered to be strong, but not as strong as the stop marked more.
These differences can not be able to feel the average user, but it is worth to be aware of them. Of course, until the emergence of new smartphones in stores it can not be concluded that the new iPhone will not deal with the problem of bending up. Even so, now I have a conviction bordering on certainty, that the deformation of the housing iPhones will not be even half as big an issue as less than twelve months ago.
