In a redesigned casing for more strength And stronger alluminum , but sure blame it all on the 3d touch....

So you're saying the entire reason the 6s/6s Plus are thicker is because Apple decided to make it thicker? How often does Apple ever make something thicker? Again, one can assume with at least a reasonable degree of certainty that surely PART of the reason the devices are thicker is 3D Touch.

They made it thicker bc of the bending issue.

Just like they changed the 4S bc of the antenna issue
They changed the 5S shell bc of the scratching issue with the 5.

How can you possibly say that? When has Apple ever gone back and changed a previous design?

There is no point. He just can't admit it.

iPhone 4 - antenna gate, 4s? Redesigned antenna.
iPhone 5 slate scuff gate, 5s? No more slate and the release of space grey.
iPhone 6 bendgate, 6s? Strengthened 7000 aluminium.

It's just so obvious to see.

Apple would never have to change a design half way through an iteration unless something was a MAJOR issue (like a recall). Obviously the cases were not enough to warrant a recall or redesign but that still doesn't mean it wasn't enough of an issue for Apple to take notice. They clearly did take notice by strengthening the frame.

Exactly. When people really believe they made stronger aluminum just bc of 3D touch-thats a joke lol.

The same people arguing that the bending isn't real are the same ones who believed the antenna gate was fake as well as the chipping with the 5.

Hey people, what about the front camera moving on the 6? Is it happening because I grip my phone too hard and the camera shakes? get outta here.

My moms iphone 6 plus bent. She keeps it in a leather holster in her purse yet it still bent. A 5 min trip to the genius bar "No problem, this is pretty common so ill replace it." If there were only 10 cases of this in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD, I wonder how the genius said its pretty common. Its real. The issue is real. Apple fixed it with stronger aluminum. Just like they fixed the iPhone 4 antenna problem with the 4S and the 5 chipping problem with the 5S.

Had he same issues as OP. Phone bent towards the camera end/edge of the phone. Took it to Apple, the guy who helped me out said they have complaints regularly re this. Swapped it for me. Was in and out in 15 minutes.
 
[MOD NOTE]
This thread is just going around in circles, regurgitating the same arguments over and over. Closing.
