No but a vise and pair of pliers should do it easily
Sure...get a fat person with tight jeans...put phone in back pocket...and ask him/her to flop down on their booty.
Apparently, unless a device is completely impervious to bending by using excessive force (and possibly machinery) it is deemed as a design-flawed product according to Macrumors forums and most of the Internet.
I’ve personally bent an iPhone 6 Plus back in the day with no excessive force. When I saw the iPad Pro in 2018 I nope’d out of Best Buy faster than I usually nope out of the Android aisle.
Yes. Unless you're trying to hold it with your toes.
Edit-- I read that as hold for some reason. I was obviously coffee deficient. LOL

Yes, that was back in the day. Apple learned. But people keep doing these bend tests. That's like using a blowtorch to find out if Samsung smartphones still go up in flames …
I’ve had my iPad Pro 2018 since launch, carried it everywhere from work to airports (remember when we could travel?) and it’s just as straight as the first day. There is no reason to avoid it. iPhone 6 was a different story.
I suppose that largely depends on what you do with it, and how you treat it. Having owned all of the ‘easily’ bendable Apple devices, I’ve yet to see any of mine get so much as a fraction of a mm out of line - yes, I’ve checked, we all have boring days 
I too had an iPhone 6 and it was just a straight two years later as the day I got it. I didn’t put it in my back pocket and sit on it though. I haven’t sat on my iPads, MacBooks, or even my Windows laptops. 🤦♂️😂
