Yesterday, I left at 10am with the iPhone in my left FRONT pocket of my suit pants. I drove 4 hours to a wedding, which also involved a lot of sitting during dinner etc but also 2-3 hours of dancing. I left at 2am and went to bed, driving home 4 hours back.
So in total, the 6 Plus was about 18 hours in my pocket while sitting mostly.
As I lay it on the coffee table and sat down on the couch to relax from the drive (yes, sitting again ), I saw the reflection of the window in the iPhones slightly distorted.
The whole world has started making fun of this issue on Twitter. Some of the tweets we found funny were:

If you own an iPhone 6 Plus, you should also own cargo pants. #BendGate

Turns out the iPhone 6 Plus does have a curved screen after all. #bendgate http://t.co/QdhQVkvYMK

Here is a video showing how easy it is to get an iPhone 6+ bent.
