Videos popped up of people bending the phones with little effort, but Apple maintained they were built to the same high standards as any of its previous devices. New court documents uncovered by Motherboard today (May 24) show that Apple actually knew the phones would bend considerably more than the iPhone 5s before it released the phones.
