I guess he simply does not like his phones. Nobody does that "for scientific reasons" - pretty sure the financial loss by deliberately breaking the phones is made up by some other financial compensation. At least nobody in the right state of mind does it unscientifically on youtube.
Yesterday I have seen and played with both the iPhone 6 and 6+ in the Verizon store. Holding the 6+ in hand and it's design did not impress me too much. To get the phone that thin is some really nice engineering feat. I wonder though if the compromises to get there are a bit much. The part where the 6+ bent in the video (by the buttons) really does look super flimsy up close and personal. The golden color does look nice though and encourages to not use a cover which you should use with it. To be honest, I was not looking to actually buy one, was more interested in how design and screen quality measured up. The screen does look nice, but does not stand out as incredibly better compared to other branded high end phones. Full retail price was listed as $947 at Verizon - wow
.
Ended up walking out of the store with a Galaxy S5 (plus Otterbox Defender case) for my wife, and a pre-ordered Galaxy Note4 for me. If anyone is interested, Verizon got a full retail price listed as $699.99 for the Note4 ($100 more than the S4 or Note3). Shipping date for the pre-order for me is october 23rd. We were actually just looking for my wife's phone - I was not aware that Samsung already announced a release date, let alone allows pre-ordering for the Note4.
