Any chance of Apple covering the bending issue free of charge? I'd actually expect them to if you took it into an Apple Store.

Nope. I just paid $79 under Apple Care Plus to have mine repaired. I ran into a corner of a table and decimated my 6+.

"I sat on my phone! Can I have a new one?"

"I fed my phone to my dog! Can I have a new one?"

"I dropped my phone out of my car! Can I have a new one?"

"My phone fell into a commercial smoothie blender! Can I have a new one?"

Can you see how one of these things is not like the others?

Yes. All four of them are evasions of personal responsibility, but only one of them seems to empower people to seek relief at the genius bar.
