Since the launch of iPhone 6 on Friday, the iPhone
6 Plus model has caught many owners by surprise with an unintended extra feature, which has been dubbed ‘bend
gate’.
Reports claim that a growing number of iPhone
owners claim the latest model of the Apple smartphone bends when left in the
pocket for a long time.
Others took to social media, to humorously thank Apple chief
executive Tim Cook for the ‘flexible display’ on their new gadget, as they
believe the thinner model and use of aluminum metal in its design, is responsible
for the deformation of the phone.
The bendy feature of the iPhone has been met with wide
criticism on social media, as others hashtagged ‘bendgate’ as they poked fun at the defect.
TechCrunch co-editor Matthew Panzarino said just ‘Just
an anecdote: I carried around the iPhone 6 Plus for 5 days in a pocket at
Disneyland on rides & coasters and did not bend it.
iOS App developer David Barnard, said It’s actually impressive that the 6 Plus
doesn’t break. Seems like that much pressure on any device would do damage.
Apple announced on Monday it sold over
10 million of its 'bigger than bigger' model, setting a new record since it
launched three days after the launch on Friday.
Just an anecdote: I carried around the iPhone 6 Plus for 5 days in a pocket at Disneyland on rides & coasters and did not bend it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
