That would be my guess

weakness due to holes in the side rails. I don't know about the fit in the area but reinforcing the side rails extending 1 cm or so either side would seem to be an easy and cheap enough fix. Don't know either way, if physically they have the space though

Agree with your first part, I doubt very much that millions of 6+ have this issue.

There you go. Makes you wonder how all these negative publicity all of a sudden crops ups within days of a new Apple product release. Some dumb ass bending iPhones as hard as he can on video takes hold as fact on mainstream media. You can see him struggle, yet the media notes it as “easy” or “easily bends”. Really? No investigation, no validation that it happens in the front pocket, no testing and they all jump on the bandwagon as if its happening all over the world. How many were really reported and returned to Apple that has been verified as actually bending in the front pocket?
