<p>The iPhone SE is getting rave reviews, but it can’t always handle the pressure.</p><p>On Monday,
SquareTrade released its lab findings suggesting the iPhone SE is not as durable nor as water-resistant as the iPhone 6s. According to the SquareTrade lab results, the iPhone SE bent at 160 pounds of pressure and reached “catastrophic failure” at 178 pounds. Even though it’s thinner, the iPhone 6s could sustain its shape until 170 pounds of pressure were applied. The iPhone 6s Plus was even sturdier, able to handle 180 pounds. </p><p>SquareTrade also found the the iPhone 6s was more water-resistant than the new iPhone SE. When submerged under five feet of water, the iPhone SE only lasted less than a minute before permanently shutting off. The iPhone 6s Plus didn’t fare much better: it died completely after 10 minutes. The iPhone 6s, meanwhile, lasted for 30 minutes under five feet of water and only lost audio capabilities.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3051661/apple-phone/lab-results-find-the-iphone-se-fails-the-bendgate-and-waterproof-test.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
