summary: If you bend other phones with the same force they return to their original shape because other metals/plastics are more elastic than aluminum. The older iphones didn't bend as much under similar force so it wasn't a big deal before.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

they go through all this trouble to be more scientific than the dude using his hands and in the end they don't in any way quantify or even give a good closeup of the permanent deformation. actually it doesn't look very bent in the end so either bendghazi is as overblown as its namesake or the auto-bending machine doesn't fully recreate real-world stresses
