Skinny jeans and the iPhone 6 Plus may be a bad combination. According to reports from some users, Apple’s latest offering allegedly bends when carried in pants pockets.

Now there’s a science project idea: How many pounds per square inch of pressure is exerted by a denim-encased thigh?

The reports surfaced on MacRumors on Sunday, just two days after the new iPhones went on sale. One user said his brand new 6.2-inch 6 Plus was noticeably bent after less than 24 hours in his front pants pocket. People starting posting photos of their bent phones on Twitter with the hashtag #bendgate.

A quick fix is needed here...
How about changing the company name to Banana?

Meet-the-iPhone-6-Dali-Edition-World-s-Most-Bendable-Smartphone-459845-2.jpg



As smartphones become larger and thinner every day, new issues arise for manufactures as these devices do seem to bend when certain pressure is applied on them.

Obviously, we’re not talking about LG G Flex or Samsung Galaxy Round, as many other phablets available on the market can be bended, even just a little.

We all saw yesterday’s funny bendable iPhone 6 video, which brought another round of laughs from those who aren’t that much in love with Apple’s products.

Well, it looks like someone took it even further with the iPhone 6 Dali Edition, which seems to be the world’s most bendable smartphone. If only it were real, of course. The iPhone 6 Dali Edition is a concept phone published by @PhoneDesigner. In fact, it’s more of a joke and a good one.

Apple recently reported record iPhone 6 sales for the first weekend, but that doesn’t seem to stop the wave of parodies and gags the smartphone gets.

Even if the two iPhone 6 models don’t come up with anything innovative, it looks like customers are willing to switch to iOS just because Apple has finally launched larger smartphones.

Anyway, we will definitely not see a real bendable iPhone for a long time, but it’s nice that at least we can see what one might look like.

Lol I remember seeing video's on this on YouTube, I thought it was just hilarious.
I'm definitely not getting this phone.
Andriod all the way.

There will be a factor about the material use that can cause bend, and using protective cover will solve the problem. ;) that's simple.
