If you can't carry a mobile phone in your pocket without it bending, the phone is not fit for purpose.

Maybe nobody notices when other companies sell phones that are unfit and, later, lie to the public about it. On the other hand, nobody would defend them either.

Never been a problem for my 6+.

Maybe people who want to carry a phone in their pockets should be more careful when they sit down, or wear pants that aren't so tight.

For the many customers whose phones developed touch disease, it was a problem. And Apple themselves say it's 7x more bendy than previous models... well, except that Apple doesn't say so publicly :(

Do those sticking up for Apple in this thread want Apple to continue releasing flimsier products than they used to? I do not understand why there is so much positivity about this story.
