Please Read if Concerned about Bending iPhones

Question

In the past few days, there has been a lot of debate, questioning the structural integrity of the iPhone 6/6 Plus; is the iPhone 6/6 Plus prone to bending? Since the number of threads, regarding this issue, has increased, I'd like to alleviate some concerns by providing you with enough information to draw your own conclusions and make a well informed decision. You don't have to agree with my findings, but please be respectful in your comments.
Short Answer:
The short answer is No; there is no cause for concern about your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus bending in your pocket, unless normal use for you is exerting over 90 lbs of external force, which is highly unlikely for most. This test was conducted by Consumer Reports in a controlled environment in which the force applied was accurately measured. If you're concerned you might expose your pocket to 90 lbs of stress or more, you shouldn't be. Only 9 people out of 10 million iPhone 6 Plus users have reported a bent phone; which means that .00009% of iPhone 6 Plus users have actually subjected their devices to 90 lbs of force, or more.
If your skeptical, or would like to know how I arrived to this conclusion, then please read further. I’ve provided a detailed explanation with supported links to articles and videos for your convenience. 
Detailed Explanation:
Most media outlets were quick to judge the iPhone 6 Plus, basing their reports from this youtube video below that went viral, along with massive retweets of bent iPhone 6 Pluses, circulating on the web.

If you watch the video, you'll notice the phone doesn't bend on a dime; he's applying an aggressive amount of force when bending his iPhone 6 Plus. Because that force wasn't measured, you cannot conclude whether it accurately depicts normal or extreme conditions for which your phone may be subjected to.
The same person posted a follow-up video in which he force bends other phones for comparison. Again, since the force being applied to each phone was not scientifically measured, there's no way to verify if more or less force was used to bend each phone being compared. For example, if he was fatigued from bending the first phone, then it's possible less force was applied to the subsequent phones in succession. You can watch his video below.

As a result of this growing buzz, Apple's stock price took a hit to which they finally responded, stating there's no cause for concern with normal use. It's an extremely rare case, as only 9 people out of 10 million have reported a bent iPhone. You can read about it in the Wall Street Journal, below.

After reading Apple's response, the first thought that came to mind was "damage control", and I was somewhat skeptical of that low number (only 9 people reported a bent phone). It prompted me to do a little more research.The guy in the unbox therapy video, along with most other media outlets, kept boasting about an "increasing number of reports" of users with bent iPhones. I was guilty of saying bend-gate was a legitimate concern due to an increasing number of reports. But I hadn't actually verified that number; I was echoing what I had heard from other media outlets. In my research (or online search), I could not actually find a significant number of complaints of bending, from actual iPhone 6 Plus owners. Because I was unable to verify these “increasing number of reports,” suddenly Apple numbers didn't seem that far fetched.
In contrast to videos posted by Unbox Therapy, Consumer Reports performed their own tests in a controlled environment in which they actually measured how many pounds of pressure it took to deform phones from a variety of different manufactures, including Samsung and Apple. Does this test reveal that some of the competition is less prone to bending than the iPhone 6/6 Plus? Absolutely, but keep in mind the iPhone 6 Plus is thinner, but more importantly, its structural integrity shouldn't be a concern, if your normal use doesn't exceed the breaking point of 90 pounds of exertion.

Factoring Apple's response, stating a total of 9 people out of 10 million reported bent iPhones, along with the tests performed by Consumer Reports, I was able to come to this conclusion. If Apple’s numbers are remotely accurate, it means only .00009% of iPhone 6 Plus users have actually bent their phones, which also means it's probable those bent phones were subjected to external forces of 90 lbs or greater. Even if the margin of error was give or take 1,000 phones, the probability of someone bending their phone would still be extremely low.

Apple stock price is subject to all kinds of manipulation with real news or generated (false) news.
I don't disagree, but my point is while a declining stock price may be inevitable as a direct result of this news, perhaps faster damage control by Apple's PR could've softened the blow, and maybe not get hit as hard.
