Am I the only one who sees an issue here?
The iPhone 6 bends and becomes deformed at 33% less force than the iPhone 5. Said in another way, depending on which statistic you want, the iPhone 5 can withstand up to 50% more force. This to me is the crux of the matter. If someone has been used to sticking their iPhone 5 in their pocket everyday without issue, they very well could have issues with the iPhone 6 bending that they previously didn't encounter. I think Consumer Reports may have missed the point here.
