When you spend over £600 on an iPhone, after queuing for hours in the early morning, the last thing you expect it to do is bend.
Bend? Yes, that’s right, some users have found that the device has bended slightly after spending an hour or so in their pockets.
The flaw, known as ‘#BendGate’ on social media, is thought to be because of the aluminium frame as well as it being thinner than previous models – perhaps it’s time for a rethink on the design…
While Apple have yet to comment on the matter, Twitter-user opinion is certainly coming in fast and steady.
Apple should probably stop spending billions on sueing Samsung and maybe learn about stress/strains from them…#BendGate #iPhone6

It used to be all about “Does it Blend?” & now it’s all about “Does it Bend?” Apple users just wear tighter pants. #BendGate #Bendghazi

Laughing at the #BendGate thing. Is this really an "issue"? #FWP for real.

So jealous none of my Androids have magical bendability. Guess they were too cheap. 🙂 #bendgate

So, #bendgate is a thing now, meanwhile nobody ever cared that dropping a phone from 3 feet would break the screen into shards?
