iPhone 6 Plus Bendgate

Lewis shot to fame after the launch of Apple’s flagship mobile device the ‘iPhone 6 Plus’. There, he demonstrated that the iPhone could bend with adequate pressure applied near the volume buttons. However, the video was made in the rumor of certain iPhones bending in people’s pockets, and was the fifth highest-trending upload to YouTube that year, two ranks above a Budweiser Super Bowl commercial.

Moreover, Lewis’s video was the only Canadian-made clip that trended globally in 2014, according to Google spokesperson Nicole Bell. There was a huge controversy surrounding the video. People assumed that the video was not authentic and was heavily edited.

So to prove his fact, Lewis then uploaded the uncut version of the video which clearly showed the weak point of the iPhone 6 plus.
