So much for Bendgate.

SquareTrade, a company that built a robot specifically to beat the hell out of new smartphones, is back at it again. On Monday, the company released durability test results for Apple's new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6s Plus, as well as Samsung's Galaxy Note 5.

The good news: It takes a lot of pressure to bend all three devices.

In SquareTrade's tests, the iPhone 6s withstood about 170 pounds of pressure, while the iPhone 6s Plus handled about 180 pounds of pressure. Both figures are more than 50% improvement over the performance of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus under similar testing. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 5 withstood about 170 pounds of pressure.
