"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys Lou here back with another video and today I've got a world exclusive for you in front of me is the back plate from the upcoming iPhone 6s yes the phone that doesn't even exist yet you also probably noticed this the world famous bendgate iPhone 6 Plus which started this entire Extravaganza surrounding the idea of these iPhones bending but it looks like apple is making some changes based on my inspection of this new upcoming iPhone 6s we see some adjustments here in various measurements when I'm analyzing the new 6s back plate compared to the standard six back plate so I'm going to get rid of the bendgate phone for a minute cuz we're not analyzing that one in this video here are the two shells on the left I have the back plate from the regular iPhone 6 and over here on the right in gold is the one from the upcoming 6s I also have a digital caliper here which can take measurements all the way down to 01 mm now upon inspection at first glance they look to be exactly the same you will notice that the screw layout is a little bit different but what caught my attention immediately was the fact that this area over here around the home buttons as well as the area around the other cutouts where the power switch would be appear to be significantly thicker on the 6s back plate compared with the standard six now of course this is important because this area right here is where Bend gate started I'm going to go ahead and do some measurements here we'll start with the major ones the height now as I mentioned these are going to be very similar and close but ever so slightly different top to bottom on the 6s back plate a reading of 13826 mm with the original 6 138 09 ever so slight on the difference there I'll slide that out and the same thing happens when you're measuring the width the old iPhone 66.9 one the new one 67.1 6 so seems insignificant but it isn't insignificant because of the specific areas that contribute to that new dimension of course as I mentioned before the most significant near the volume button so the old phone this very precise measurement right where the volume buttons are 1.4 mm just over 1 mm now on the new shell the new reinforced 6s 1.90 almost twice as thick in that very important region okay so it's obvious that Apple has increased the thickness at various weak points in the back chassis of the iPhone 6s when compared to the 6 but the question is will this result in a heavier overall device so I've got a little postal scale over here the regular iPhone 6 you can see it comes in at 27 G and now for the new shell 25 G so what's interesting here is not only do we have what look like enhancements but we also have an overall lighter shell this evidence here appears to point in the direction of a new material potentially that rumored 7,000 series aluminum which is not only going to be thicker in some key points here but also probably going to be stronger in general so coming up very shortly on the channel I'll be testing that I'll be comparing these two when it comes to potential bends so stick around for that sort of some evidence here that Apple took Bend gate seriously but it looks like this time around everyone's going to end up with a stronger iPhone than the previous gen thanks very much for watching stick around stay tuned for more exclusive information on the upcoming iPhone 6s as well as tests I've got some other components that I'll be showing you very shortly so make sure to subscribe and leave a thumbs up if you enjoyed this content I'll catch you on
