You will cause more harm to your junk in skinny jeans than you would ever cause to an iPhone 6s.

I never understood skinny jeans. You either have to not have much down there ... or be a female ... for those to not be completely uncomfortable.

The iPhone 6 Plus definitely bent a lot easier than the iPhone 6S Plus, and yes, there are multiple reports of it happening in regular use (including people who thought it was a made up problem).

I for one did not say in my response it was a made up problem, and I take umbrage to the suggestion that I said it (arn, frankly you should know better). What I am saying is that no one has ever confirmed whether iPhone 6 Plusses bent at a greater rate, in actual use, compared to other models, and if so, by how much. I am also saying - and I stand by what I say - that having an iPhone 6 Plus did not automatically doom a user to having a bent phone.

Some bent. Many did not. And the odds would've remained in OP's favor had he bought an iPhone 6 Plus.
 
I met a guy at Starbucks who had a bent iPhone 6 Plus. This was shortly after release and we talked about how he was going to wait until other issues were resolved before he exchanged it with Apple. The new 6S Plus with better aircraft quality aluminum is a non-issue though.

One of my friends just bent their phone yesterday. Anyone else had issues now that they've been out longer?
 
I'm pretty sure the proportion of iPhone 6's, which got bend "naturally" was very small. Most of the bent phones were probably YouTube-videos of the like of "Hey look at me, how easy this phone in my hands bends!"
 
I used to have the 6 Plus and it did bend but so slightly you cant notice it. You can notice it if you lay it down on a flat surface face down. It rocks ever so slightly.

Unnoticeable to the naked eye. Overall I think it was so overblown, some people were clearly doing it for attention IMO.
That website "one of the nine" or w/e.

6S has new 7000 Aluminium much stronger.

It probably isn't bent at all. Are you sure the rocking isn't caused by the camera assembly which sticks out a millimeter or two? Lay a brand new phone screen side up and you'll see it doesn't lay flat.

Yes its screen down on a flat surface. I have tried several flat surfaces with the same result.

If you don't sit on it, it will not bend. Common sense! Fact, the people that have beny phones put enough presure on them to bend it, their fault, nothing more. Common sense!

Except I've never sat on my 6 and it's no longer quite straight. I speculate that with the phone in my front pocket the pressure of the phone against my hip while going up stairs exerted too much pressure on it. That or having it fall off a ledge while in a case. I'm 6'2" with standard pants. I'm exceptionally particular about how I take care of it (although **** happens) and its bent.

I can exert a little bit of pressure on opposing corners to correct the bend. When it is subject to any kind of pressure the bend returns. Seems pretty pliable.
