Well, ya scared me for a sec there, but then I actually read the article.
Apparently, the iPhone 5, which I've owned since its release two years ago, was equally prone to the same bendy-issue.
Two solutions: use a case, and don't leave it in your back pocket and sit on it for days on end.
You see, I have the iPhone6 itch, and I might just have to scratch it. I was actually thinking of going to Future Shop today, and playing with each of them.
The only, very minor, petty thing holding me back is that it will take at least a year until I can get a really cool case. (I am such a girl!).
I currently alternate between my "Mine Mine Mine" seagull case and my Minions case.
