iPhone 15 plus bent after charging

I plugged my device in and left it to charge came back and my device housing unit is bent. I took it to Apple and they told me it’s physically damaged and I must have done something to it, I pay for Apple care and they are telling me that I need to pay the 150$ physical damage fee. the phone has zero scratches, cracks or anything how is it fair that they deem it as I physically damaged it, they asked

me if I sat on it! Do you know how large I need to be to bent this phone?! I called the support they told me the same thing, clearly the phone is defective and they will not replace it unless I pay. this is absolutely ridiculous if I broke it I would pay for it no issues, but it’s less than 8 months old and I didn’t do a thing to it!
