They made similar products in the past that were thicker and not easily bendable. That seems to speak for itself.
- pazimzadeh 8y agoThat's true, although their thinnest products always had a small surface area as well (iPod nano), so less torque could be applied which probably contributed to the durability.
- ken 8y agoApple also changes materials and processes all the time. Despite being thicker (and shorter), the iPhone SE bends more easily than newer iPhones like the 6S [1], 7 or 7 Plus [2].

- eridius 8y agoEvery device that supports 3D Touch is highly resistant to bending, because AIUI the way 3D Touch is implemented basically puts a metal plate inside the phone. This is why the iPads never got 3D Touch, because they’d end up too heavy with a metal plate that large.
