iPhone 6s CAD renders reveal thicker anti-bendgate frames

It seems that Apple really took the recent bendgate scandal that rocked its iPhone 6 to heart. A new batch of images, actually more CAD design renders than marketing material, detail both the overall design and dimensions of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus due next month. Though not exactly new information, it confirms something we've expected and might have even dreaded. The smartphones will indeed come in slightly thicker shells. But worry not. It's all for the sake of withstanding the mass of your posterior.

Based on the numbers, the iPhone 6s will have a 7.1 mm profile while the larger iPhone 6s Plus will come at 7.3 mm. In comparison, the current gen iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus measure 6.9 mm and 7.1 mm, respectively. 0.2 mm might seem too small to get worked up about, but considering Apple's meticulous attention to detail, precision, and near perfectionism, that might still be 0.2 mm too many.

The theory is that part of the reason for the thicker frame is due to the bending issues, particularly on the iPhone 6 Plus, that went viral over the Internet last year. Of course, it could also be due to the new Touch Force display expected to debut on the smartphones this year.
