I always check these threads to see pictures and hear the story behind it. I used to be a very tough one to convince it was anything other than user damage. This time, however, the 6+ phones are consistently bent in the same locations and it is just a gut feeling but I believe the OPs. I am getting a 6+ and truly hope this isn't a problem I encounter. I had a 6+ for two weeks before returning and buying with upgrade pricing. My 6+ held up nicely, but I literally babied the he11 out of it. We should not have to worry about a PHONE bending in our front pocket, period. There is NO argument to make against this like the ones I have seen that say: be more careful, baby your phone in your pocket, live life completely different so your phone that goes in your pocket won't bend. This is a design flaw and hopefully they are rectifying this as we speak.
I will say this, yes we can bend these phones ourselves by being careless and bend them by just normal everyday use in our pocket. This will be the first iPhone that can't endure normal wear and tear of the general consumer (front pocket use). Women who put it in their purse are just asking for it. Most phones still hold up well in a woman's purse minus the typical scratches, unless protected. As of now, I still sit on the side of the consumer and this isn't suppose to be something we have to worry about unless we KNOWINGLY take a risk such as using the back pocket, front pocket and lean against railing or counter etc, and other behavior that can knowingly damage a phone. A bit of my opinion mixed with some rant, but I hope it makes sense. Apple makes some very quality devices and I support them, as well as supporting other phone makers for good products. Very unbiased and this appears to be a flaw on Apple's side. It will continue to rear its head so I hope anyone who has this happen will be helped out by Apple. The people who have damaged it on their own and lie to customer service, well karma will bend that second phone, too 😛
