I believe Consumer Reports should redo with a 4 point bending test to end this controversy once and for all. Then we can compare all products on equal footing.

- eridius 12y ago4 points is not better than 3. If anything, the phone probably withstands more force when you're distributing it over 2 points instead of 1, because those points are (presumably) closer to the edges, and therefore don't have as much leverage.
- pkaye 12y ago3 point loading puts peak moment at one point while 4 point distributes the moment over a wider area to find the weakest point. You can do a simple statics analysis to show this.
