Based on the numbers Apple gave us, the odds of bending your iPhone 6 are about equal to getting struck by lightning in your lifetime twice.
Iphone 6 Bending
It really makes me laugh that there are people who would buy an expensive phone and not do anything to protect it like putting on a good case. People bash the new phone. I have really used mine. put it in my pocket. sat on it, taken it to the beach, left it in the sun. What happened to it? Nothing. Why? Because I put a case on it and it is fine. It will continue to be fine.

Steve jobs famously hated cases.
You shouldn't need a case for basic functions and carrying of a phone.
The more you know.
And only a fool would believe that this is just like every other phone, and should be treated as such, regardless of its dimensions and build.
You can put it in your pocket though. For your information.
It is a small tablet, that can make calls, and is designed for those who appreciate larger screens and ingest an above average amount of multimedia content. It's not just 'a phone'.
You don't want to be careful with a 950 dollar investment? Don't invest in an above average screen size super thin phablet. Buy a ****** phone. End of story.
iPhone 6 Plus!
iPhone 6
iPhone
>>>>Phone<<<<
other phones of this size or more (note 3 as one example, lumias phablet being another) don't bend from being pocketed.
Yep, just like antennagate. Nobody had issues with that, either, right? Of course Apple aren't going to admit to a major issue until they're absolutely forced to!
Not to say there IS a major issue, but let's not go with what Apple tells us, right?
I never had issues with the iPhone 4 cos I don't go around holding my phone like a ****....
And neither do these. Or at least less than a tenth of a percent of them do.
Sorry, you speak symantics. I use logical thought and my own brain to see quite clearly it is not a typical phone.
And because I have free will and a working brain I can 'see' with my own eyes that this device is not to be treated casually. It's not priced casually, specced casually, and it does not appear as a casual device. It is, like any other expensive piece of technology, sophisticated. Therefor treat it as such or go buy some other junk.
You are such an elitist that guy earlier called it right. I thought this was a joke but now I realize you're actually serious. You think the iPhone is some kind of masterful piece of art.
It's consumer technology get over yourself.
Nice attack. I would be angry too if I didn't have common sense and deflected the focus because I couldn't admit that there's nothing wrong with the phones that isn't painfully obvious to anyone paying even the slightest amount of attention. It's completely avoidable, completely within reasonable, and completely acceptable to live with. I'm an elitist because I don't expect phones to function how I think they should? As if I had no other choice and was being forced to buy it?
Sounds to me like you're the elitist, with entitlement issues. Go buy your note and have a nice day. Still not an apple
and youre just mad because everyone knows it. Even you.
What a mess!
In our family of 4, we own Macs, PCs, iPads, Android phones and tablets and iPhones. We have no blind loyalty towards any brand. If the device fits the criteria that any one of us is looking for, than it's purchased regardless of which logo is on it.
I switched to 5S and iPad Air from an Android phone and tablet combo due to the pocketable size of 5S. Therefore, I don't plan on switching to anything else, because anything bigger would not be comfortable for "me" (if you put a phablet in your front pocket and you're happy, it's nobody's business). It's amazing to see the blind replies from some of the Apple apologists (e.g., get a case, don't put it in your pocket, don't sit, etc). If 5S did the same (I'm sure there are some extreme cases showing the same for 5S, but that's different than "normal" use), I would have returned it instantly.
Good luck to 6 and 6+ owners!

Yes I really care what tech device people see me out in public with! I buy a phone because of fashion not because it works well!
I don't even like samsung by the way. And you're the one saying it's easily avoidable. Go tell that to the people on here, reddit, and youtube who have had it bend in their front pocket.
Edited. Video shopped whatever. The guy ripped through it like paper. Which we know isn't possible
Do you have any idea how hard it would be to fake that? If it's even possible....
Lol. If you want to reduce me down to that level feel free. That's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying the majority of individuals with bent iPhones didn't do so with just sticking them in their pocket, and if they did then it is due to a small number of bad phones in circulation IF what they're saying is entirely true.
How do I know this? I have had the phone over a week, I've sat on it on accident, in my back pocket, twice now. I've had it in my front pocket all day every day. I use it constantly. I am careful with it because I know it's expensive, but I use it constantly.
No bends, not even a slight warp. So my theory is the majority of the people somehow put more strain on their phone then they 'realized' or care to admit. Even the op said he danced with it at a wedding... Or, maybe we have some less than honest people who don't want to appear foolish, and want to get attention, so they exacerbate the issue for their own entertainment.
All I know is that I have been less than extremely cautious with my phone for a week now and it's just fine.
I know that apple tested these phones 15,000 different ways, with sophisticated equipment, and are smart enough to know releasing a device that 'bent in your pocket under normal wear' would be a poor move for them, I just dont think they would do that, and I believe their testing facility is fully capable of recreating whatever circumstances alleged bender victims have hypothesized.
But it still goes back to the most basic reduced fact: If you believe a phone this thin or this long will not bend if you try to force it to bend, you're an idiot. If you feel you can increase the footprint of a phone almost 3x your former one and you don't have to adjust the way you use it, you're an idiot. And if you think that because someone intentionally tries to snap one in half and succeeds that it is a poorly made product? ...
Anyhow
