The 6S & 6S+ are the heaviest iPhones yet..

Hopefully the weight is due to extra strong casing so we have less bending. 
Makes sense. The 6 series is a larger phone and adding a stronger/heavier metal will make it heavier.

And you said that would never happen

Yours bent? Doubt it...
Don't worry I'm sure there's a team of geeks in a conference room already thinking up what to complain about this year and add the word "gate" to the end.
LOL at all this 'concern' over weight. I'm pretty sure the phone is similar to, if not lighter than other non-Apple phones on the market.
And having come from a Windows Mobile phone that I used for three years before getting my iPhone 5 on launch day I have yet to find any iPhone that has been heavier than that brick I carried around for 3.5 years.
Lastly, I grew up in the era of wired phones and later cordless phones in the home. When the day comes that an Apple iPhone is heavier than the reciever of one of those I'll complain about weight.

Really. This is what we're complaining about now? LOL.
I predict broken screen due to thumbs. People (morons) will assume force touch (3D Touch) means use as much force as you can.
Nope never bent mine but you know that there have been many threads here that did bend them.
You doubt? LOL!
Yeah, I was here all through it, Newton. The claims were largely bogus. There was no bend problem with the last version of the phone. But do go right ahead and try to reignite that battle, because smart.
I'm thinking the same thing. Some people in apple watch subforum did this, and it looks like declined warranty replacement due to excessive force applied to the screen (hence the dark spots).
With the new 7000 series aluminum body, stronger reinforcement points and Gorilla Glass 4 this will be one strong iPhone!
Yeah I was reading a thread here a few months ago and it bent my phone. Decided to avoid the MR forums for a while after that.
Bogus claims, yet Apple still fixed it. Very interesting.
All despite the fact you continually denied any issue. And you even put real money they wouldn't change the aluminum case for the 6S. Looks like there was an issue, apple fixed it, and you were flat wrong.
