Anger Worldwide As The New Iphone 6 Plus Bend In Users' Pocket by xtervaganza(m): 12:22pm On Sep 24, 2014 |
Owners of the new iPhone 6 Plus have been left angered as it emerged the phone can bend out of shape simply when stored in a pocket. Since the new model launched on Friday, a small but growing number of iPhone 6 Plus owners have reported the issue that significantly alters the appearance of the phone. The problem, dubbed 'bend gate' by some on social media sites, is due to the phone's thin aluminium exterior - but can be solved by ensuring the middle of the phone is not subjected to a large force. It is believed the thinner model, in addition to the use of aluminium metal in its design, causes the phone to deform. MacRumors detailed on Tuesday that 'a small but growing number of iPhone 6 Plus owners have reportedly bent their phones after carrying the devices in their pockets just days after launch'. One forum user known as 'hanzoh' claimed his iPhone 6 plus was 'slightly bent' after he drove with the device in his pocket 'The 6 Plus was about 18 hours in my pocket while sitting mostly,' Hanzoh said. 'As I lay it on the coffee table and sat down on the couch to relax from the drive, I saw the reflection of the window in the iPhones slightly distorted.' And he said when laid flat, a bend in the phones display can clearly be seen. It has been reported that the thinner design of the 5.5-inch phone and the use of aluminum on the frame will cause the new iPhone 6 Plus (pictured) to bend if pressure is applied Hanzoh questioned whether the new 5.5-inch design was 'too thin'. The bendy feature of the new iPhone has also been met with wide criticism on social media. Others hashtagged 'bendgate' as they poked fun at the defect. One user wrote: '@tim_cook hi Tim, I absolutely love my new iPhone 6 Plus!! My favorite feature is the flexible display.' However this isn't the first time iPhone frames have warped while the issue isn't unique to Apple, Mashable reports. It was further mentioned the thinner design and the use of aluminum on the frame causes the phone to misshape if pressure is applied. 1 Like |
