Will it bend? iPhone SE looks weaker in controlled stress test than iPhone 6s

In the grand scheme of high-profile tech 'fails', the iPhone 6 duo's supposed susceptibility to bending remains relatively fresh in the mind. Though, in retrospect, issue only affected a couple hundred of the millions of early iPhone 6 owners, the internet did itself proud in ensuring the story grew into a meme, and subsequently, #Bendgate ensued. By the the time iPhone 6s and 6s Plus had made their way market late last year, most had long forgotten the early fanfare that accompanied their predecessors, though Apple still made some key design changes to bolster its latest and greatest. While the new iPhone SE is smaller and thus, in theory, should be less likely to bend, controlled tests show that the device is actually weaker than the svelte iPhone 6s in this department.
