"The results All the phones we tested showed themselves to be pretty tough. The iPhone 6 Plus, the more robust of the new iPhones in our testing, started to deform when we reached 90 pounds of force, and came apart with 110 pounds of force. With those numbers, it slightly outperformed the HTC One (which is largely regarded as a sturdy, solid phone), as well as the smaller iPhone 6, yet underperformed some other smart phones."

Probably just an optical illusion. There are a lot of them out there these days.

I think it’s just the iPhone freaks are bent out of shape having to buy this junk every year or 2

Aren’t curved large-screen OLED TV’s the newest thing?

Does size matter, or just the radius of curvature?

ALL Consumer Reports tests should be taken with a LARGE truckload of salt.

i.e. - don’t believe their tests due to built-in bias.

Their tests on stereo equipment/components (my industry) are an absolute joke and blatantly dishonest.

So if the thing doesn’t give, what’s it going to do to the back pocket of your pants after you sit down?

Just got my 6plus. It was bent right out of the box. Not a ton, just maybe 1/16 inch, but is is clearly not flat.
