Also it was viral on internet that this bend is actually a new feature by introduced by apple to change the viewing angle of videos etc. There were many people who told on forums and websites that they bend their iPhones to try this feature.
These kind of hoax were made clear by Apple that iPhone 6 Plus could bend if enough stress is applied on it while iPhone 6 does not bends easily and require more stress and this kind of stress is not usually applied, with normal use these devices do not bend in pocket. This means that iPhone 6 is more resistant to bend then iPhone 6 Plus.
