(title sung to the tune of Peter, Paul and Mary...)
Remember all the controversy and publicity of how easily the iPhone 5S would bend?
A ton of them got sold--and if they were that easy to bend, where are they? Because, after a year, they don't have the widespread reputation of being easily damaged. I've had my 5S for a year, always carried in my front pocket, and lo and behold, it's not bent. It has fallen onto asphalt and concrete several times, but the case took the multiple impacts with no damage to the phone.
FACT: Phones can be bent.
FACT: Phones don't spontaneously bend themselves.
FACT: Idiots always claim their phones bent themselves, without any assistance from said idiots. Combine idiots and alcohol and the phones will bend faster and more conclusively.
CONCLUSION: There's good money to be made to be made at the introduction of every new iPhone. Just bend it like Beckham, and you will be rich in exposure and "honored" all over the web.

I propose this experiment: Put any style of jeans on a table. Put an iPhone 6 or 6+ in any one of the pockets. Leave the jeans and the iPhone of the table. Every 15 minutes, take the iPhone out the pocket and take a photo. Do this for 2 days, or 10 days, doesn't matter: In the end you will have a cinema-verité film of the life of an iPhone in the pocket of whatever style jeans.
The resulting film will definitely not make very good click-bait...
