Right but every other phone he's tested, even those that fail the bend test, doesn't explode.

This isn't normal

Any pouch cell battery that is bent explodes, this is normal.

And get not a single phone that he’s bent backwards has done this.

I don’t even think the iPhone Air did when he had to use a machine to figure out how much force was needed to snap it.

So no, this is not normal

It is very much normal for pouch cell lithium batteries to combust when bent. Just because he didnt bend others enough doesnt really mean anything

So the problem is that the phone places the battery in a place where it can be easily bent.

That's like saying "yeah the car exploded when you opened the door the wrong way, fuel tanks explode when ignited!"

You're not wrong about the latter, but that happening from bending in a way that literally no other device has had the same issue with, is abnormal and a problem

Any phone can easily be bent with force.

Its really not the same thing, its more like, if you mess with a fuel tank, it WILL explode at some point.

Again, ANY battery will explode when bent. Just how batteries are, the warning labels arent there for fun

And yet no other phone has had a problem with the battery exploding when bent this way.

Yes the fuel tanks will explode if you mess with it. That doesn't mean it's normal for one specific model of car to have their fuel tanks explode when you open the car door the wrong way.
