Apple's iPhone 6 required less force to ruin than Apple's iPhone 6 Plus, but more force than what Apple itself has been claiming the iPhones can tolerate. According to those who attended a recent press tour of the company's "torture lab" for its iPhones, an iPhone 6 can handle at least 25 kilograms of weight—around 55 pounds—in a similar three-point flexural test. Apple maintains the iPhone 6 can actually handle more weight than that, but didn't specify how much.
According to Consumer Reports's tests, the iPhone 6 only started to deform, warp, or otherwise look different than it normally does once the test applied 70 pounds of weight to the smartphone. The iPhone 6 Plus held out for slightly longer, deforming at around 90 pounds.
The screen began to come lose from the iPhone 6's case a little bit earlier than the iPhone 6 Plus. At around 100 pounds applied to its center, the iPhone 6 achieved "case separation" status. It took 110 pounds for the same result on the iPhone 6 Plus.
the iPhone 6's deformation weight tied that of the HTC One (M8), but was quite a bit lower than the LG G3 (130 pounds), iPhone 5 (130 pounds), and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (150 pounds)—the latter, seemingly to have been constructed out of adamantium, as it also took 150 pounds to separate the smartphone's screen from its case. The LG G3 and iPhone 5 were also tougher when it came to screen separation, requiring 130 pounds and 150 pounds, respectively, to reach that point.
