iPhone Bendgate Was Real After All...

What's up guys, Lou here and I'm in 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. 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 going to be doing the official iPhone

6 plus bend test I got an iPhone 6 plus Plus bent it and then the video got around 70 million views right now

It blew up. I sort of dealt with it ongoing from that point forward

From people online, media outlets, and even people in real life. You created this scenario

Calling your test a fraud. There was like a grassy knoll kind of thing

People are looking at the video. Sensationalism But here the thing Within there was apparently a little more truth than many of you might have thought The thing that 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 the 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 previously

And more likely to bend. Over seven times more likely. A lot of people looked at that video and they said, Lou, you're just trying to get some views right now

I didn't know it was going to get 70 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 snowboarding yesterday. I had the phone in my pocket. I didn't do anything to it

It was just in my pocket and it 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 A lot of people don 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's probably crazy. What, that YouTuber? He's a YouTuber

But I had a feeling that something was catastrophically 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 ysis 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 7,000

series aluminum. They added zinc to give it more stiffness. You mean you're going to change the

whole material? I thought only three people were affected. Isn't that what you heard, Jack

Wasn't it only three people? So when the touch disease stuff started coming out, I was like, ah, that little bend

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 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 And me I have so much respect for the individuals that spend their time to create amazing machines like these this channel probably wouldn exist

without apple that's how much credit i'll give to apple my earliest video editing software final

cut pro from who apple my laptop i'm using right now from who apple if all i 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

identify the problem. Who knows how this lawsuit is going to go. These internal documents now

they at least say that Apple knew this thing was substantially over seven times more likely to bend

than 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 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
