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.

I did notice that the iPHone 6 was tested the same way as the rest of the group that was tested. But, that's a false test.

The tests were done with the pressure being applied on the same spot, meaning, towards the center of each. But, the iPhone 6 problem is about how it bends at where the buttons are, which is higher up than the middle of the phone. The phones bend in people's pockets, and if the test was going to be done properly, then, people's pockets should have been used for proper testing.

I'm pretty sure that, no other phone would bend like the iPHone 6+.

I use about a hundred pound salt block where CU and Apple are concerned. They've had a long standing bias against Apple. . . giving large weight to lower cost "Best Buys" over Apple in computers, and down rating Apple because it didn't run Windows. . . even when the Mac was garnering "Best Windows Computer Awards" from industry magazines such as PC world and PC Magazine. . . because it didn't "ship" with Windows installed. So, in this case I'm tending to believe them.

That is a pretty serious charge against an organization that bases it's entire existence on being non-biased and objective. Got any proof to back up that observation? If so, you have a scandal of pretty good magnitude. Let's hear it......
