Another new Apple product, another “-gate” debacle. This time, it’s bendgate. On the heels of the release of the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus handsets earlier this month has come an uproar over an unexpected weakness: In short, when stashed in a pocket of a tight pair of pants, the iPhone 6 Plus bends — and it doesn’t return to its original shape when removed. The subject is fervently being discussed in social media, according to Brandwatch, which found more than 57,000 mentions of it online, primarily by male authors.
So, how do you like your metal case now!
What I always considered a non-issue is now an issue. I definitely DON'T want a metal case.
I would like to agree with you @rogerowens. Nothing is for granted and btw we haven't heard any news that the iphone had bend while being in someone's pocket.
