Next iPhone casing is thicker, more likely to prevent "bendgate"
Although Apple has gone on record stating the the bending incident was blown out of proportion, it looks like the next iteration of the iPhone will see improvements in construction that should prevent the iPhone from easily bending. Unbox Therapywas able to acquire some of the parts for the upcoming iPhone and has found that some of the areas of the casing are indeed thicker than the previous model. Interestingly, he also found that the new casing is actually lighter than the old one. In addition to the build, it is also rumored that Apple will be using stronger materials this time around to prevent bending incidents.

TMH_x_Modder if apple stopped releasing so many phones and took their time on one they may make a decent phone
I have an iPhone 6 its a great phone. Just because fat people can make a phone bend once doesn't make it a bad phone.

UZl Good news but maybe they should focus on a different feature and show that instead of bendgate
They will, I highly doubt Apple will even mention that it is thicker or stronger then the iPhone 6 at the press conference for it. I wonder if it will be lighter of if that missing weight from the shell will be used for a different component. I'm still on the 5, so I'm wondering if I should wait until the 7 or get 6s this year.
