Apple had recently gotten a lot of backlash because of the bendgate controversy. The Cupertino-based tech giant has finally addressed the issue and applied a few tweaks to its upcoming smartphones, making them bend-proof.

Just last year, iPhone users rallied against the company with complaints that their expensive smartphones kept bending under pressure whenever they placed the units in their pockets. Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy decided to take matters into his own hands - pun not intended. He took an iPhone 6 and, with his bare hands, bent it.

With the iPhone 6S slated for a release in September, Hilsenteger opted to try out his experiment once again. This time, however, instead of using his own hands, he made use of a special bending machine. This apparatus can figure out precisely how many pounds the unit can withstand before it starts to get deformed, as detailed by Tech Times.

The iPhone 6 case quickly buckled under a pressure of only 30 pounds. However, the upcoming iPhone 6S managed to withstand more than twice as much, at 80 pounds. It would seem that Apple has finally solved the bendgate issue. As soon as it was reported online that their smartphones bent easily, the company did release a statement, saying that only nine people were actually affected. Whether or not the figures they gave are true, Apple has certainly decided not to repeat itself for the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.

According to Hilsenteger's analysis report, the aluminum alloy that was used for the exterior of the iPhone 6S was composed of 92.8 percent aluminum and 6.1 percent zinc - which will make the metal even more robust. The bendable iPhone 6 case, on the other hand, is only made of 98 percent aluminum.

Plus, there was a 10-micron thick anodization coating that will prevent the zinc particles from corroding. This particular coating will make it possible for the huge tech company to make use of certain dyes in order to give their potential clietns a wider color variety, which may or may not include pink.
