Not really. All phones will bend if tested past their limts. Same applies to reading glasses, toasters, race cars.
The YouTube video showed that a person could not bend other phones, but he could for the 6Plus, however, he bent that on the edge, the others he tried to bende in the middle. Suspicious. The Consumer article showed the iPhone is fine compared to other phones.
If you would like it to be better, it will be thickier and heavier, but Jonny ive has a fetish with lighter and thinner, which is a pity

Thanks.
So, "officially" now, there is a problem that will have to be addressed in the 7.
I still plan to get a Plus when the crowds thin out. I'm very easy on my iStuff.
So it's easier to bend an htc than a 6+......
Consumer Reports weighs in on iPhone 6 bending
As much as Apple would like for this discussion to be over, controversy and conversation over whether the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus has a durability problem is continuing. Just as it tested out antenna reception for the iPhone 4, Consumer Reports has forced Apple's newest mobile devices into its torture testing chambers, measuring them along with several other devices to see how much pressure they can really take. You can see the tests for yourself in a video embedded after the break, but according to CR, the larger iPhone 6 Plus is actually stronger than its counterpart, only deforming under 90 pounds of pressure, more than the 70 it took to bend the standard iPhone 6 and HTC One (M8). Meanwhile, Unbox Therapy gave a brand new iPhone 6 Plus another go in its less-scientific test, and bent it once again, while a Moto X withstood the challenge.

The toughest phone in the test proved to be the Galaxy Note 3, which didn't deform or suffer case separation until it hit 150 lbs of pressure. According to Consumer Reports, one of Apple's tests uses a similar machine and method but only goes up to 55 lbs, about the pressure it says is needed to break three pencils. Ultimately, it gauged all of the phones capable of withstanding normal usage, but go ahead and press play if you need some more convincing.
