You mean that some youtuber who makes money off of views and clicks may not have done an entirely accurate portrayal of real world use?

I’m shocked. /s

I’ll trust CR’s testing methodology over “bend it with your fingers”.

Also the guy said that it didn’t survive his durability test, with the exact same result than with Oneplus 11 Pro, where he said it did survive his durability test. Both phones worked fine, just the backglass broke. Curiously his standards changed.

When it generates revenue things change. I get it.

Fortunately I can also think critically so it won’t influence my choices as much as those who may not be able or choose to think for themselves.

Or "I threw it with some random amount of force that I'm sure was the same for both".

CR also said the iPhone 6 Plus passed too, and Apple ended up admitting that they knew it would bend.

To be clear they said it did bend but kept working so it passed. The bend was only cosmetic and they said it still outperformed other phones that bent.
