What's up guys, Lou here and I'm in Dundas Square in downtown Toronto
0:04
That's because I want to put all this conspiracy to rest with the Bendgate controversy
0:09
I have a brand new iPhone 6 Plus. So, should we do this
0:17
Am I the Incredible Hulk? Am I a bodybuilder guys? Am I a regular dude
0:22
So, I woke up this morning, I did the usual. usual get on to Twitter take a little
0:27
scroll see what's happening in the world of technology I happened upon a tweet
0:32
from the verge what was the tweet exactly internal documents reveal Apple
0:36
knew the iPhone 6 was more likely to bend in the previous model man you guys
0:40
have no idea back when this happened this in front of me here this this
0:44
iconic moment in video history day we're going to be doing the official iPhone
0:50
6 plus bend test I got an iPhone 6 plus Plus bent it and then the video got around 70 million views right now
0:57
It blew up. I sort of dealt with it ongoing from that point forward
1:01
From people online, media outlets, and even people in real life. You created this scenario
1:07
Calling your test a fraud. There was like a grassy knoll kind of thing
1:13
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
1:27
And I know many of you eventually experienced it because I received the tweets and the emails
1:32
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
1:39
Now because of this lawsuit, Apple was forced to release internal documents about their own testing
1:44
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
1:54
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
2:01
I didn't know it was going to get 70 million views. Alright, I'd be lying if I told you that
2:05
But the motivation to make that video was pure. I got a message from my cousin
2:10
Dude, I was snowboarding yesterday. I had the phone in my pocket. I didn't do anything to it
2:14
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
2:20
You know, if these things are as weak as I think they are, then there could be other changes that happen internally, other problems
2:27
Now, Apple has never publicly admitted that this device is particularly bendable
2:32
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
2:48
workings of these things. That guy's probably crazy. What, that YouTuber? He's a YouTuber
2:54
But I had a feeling that something was catastrophically wrong with this particular
2:59
design. And so when the 6S came out, I really want to get to the bottom of it. I took the shell
3:04
from the 6S and the 6, and I went to a laboratory, a place that could do elemental ysis to tell
3:09
you about the makeup of a particular material, and realized immediately that in the 6S, Apple
3:14
had created a whole new alloy. We always had this significant presence of zinc, which points to 7,000
3:21
series aluminum. They added zinc to give it more stiffness. You mean you're going to change the
3:25
whole material? I thought only three people were affected. Isn't that what you heard, Jack
3:29
Wasn't it only three people? So when the touch disease stuff started coming out, I was like, ah, that little bend
3:39
I know how hard it is to make this stuff and to do it well
3:43
You can't fix a problem until you identify it. Obviously, there was upside for me with a super popular video, of course
3:50
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
4:08
without apple that's how much credit i'll give to apple my earliest video editing software final
4:13
cut pro from who apple my laptop i'm using right now from who apple if all i ever did was come on
4:19
here and tell you what you already knew that everything was great and that's all i ever said
4:24
my usefulness to you, it goes down. So when you try to beat me into submission and say
4:28
you're just a hater, how does that serve you better? You can't fix something until you
4:32
identify the problem. Who knows how this lawsuit is going to go. These internal documents now
4:36
they at least say that Apple knew this thing was substantially over seven times more likely to bend
4:42
than their previous models. They at least knew that. So it's up to people like me to get you as
4:46
close to the truth as we can. Something like this, it gives a little bit of validation. It didn't
4:51
start from some crazy chaotic place let me see if I can bend a phone and watch the world burn
4:57
that ain't where it came from so you decide you want to believe the press release fine you want
5:01
your own imaginary truth fine but for me the reality has been exposed and I feel like I was
5:07
on the right side of it and I feel like those of you that were out there that trusted me a little
5:12
bit you were on the right side of it too but I'm gonna keep trying to get closer to the truth
5:16
and I hope you guys keep listening
