> "Consumer Reports test results find iPhone 6 and 6 Plus not as bendy as believed: 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."

Consumer Reports is hardly sensational. And they came down on the side of there being a problem with "Antennagate". They didn't think this is a "serious" concern.
