Why everyone suddenly began to bend their smartphones and upload photos to the Internet

Every time a new iPhone goes on sale, users discover some flaw in it, which instantly becomes the cause of mass paranoia of epplofans and a source of lulz for everyone else. And this time the tradition continued: users found that if they sit on their phone, they can bend. There was a wave of publications on the Internet with photos of curved sixth iPhones in the style of some LG handsets, accompanied by allegations that you can now bend the phone even in the front pocket of the trousers.



It's not fashion yet, but just complaints: people who liked to put their phones in the back pockets of jeans, and then sit in them, found that with a diagonal of 5.5 inches, this trick could not be repeated as painlessly as before, that the phone, like a good dog, becomes like its owner. Well, in some places.

Continued: Apple responded to messages about the bend in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, that "if you use the phones normally, then nothing will bend"

According to the tradition of Watergate, this scandal was called "bendgate" ("bend-gate"). On MacRumors have published a whole selection of iPhones-wildebeest:



The reasons are generally understandable: the aluminum from which the iPhones are made, is not only light in weight and pleasant to the touch, but also a fairly flexible metal. At the same time, the iPhones themselves have become larger and thinner, which makes the task of killing even easier.



Since they say that iPhones are now bent in their front pockets, the carriers of narrow jeans are in a zone of particular risk.



In search of the truth, attempts to bend the iPhone were recorded on video. Look scary:



In general, experimentally it was possible to prove that the iPhones did bend. The good news is that they bend, not break: all bent iPhones have retained a whole screen and performance.

Panic is canceled

The “Cult of the Mac” site is trying to save the epplofan nerve cells: they have laid out a photo collection of smartphones of other models and brands proving that everyone is bending.

The iPhone 5s was smaller and fatter - and still bent:



Samsung Galaxy S4:



Sony Xperia Z1:



iPhone 5:



BlackBerry Q10:



I wonder what the owner of this HTC EVO sat on?



Oppo:



iPhone 4s



It’s a pity that all this doesn’t answer one question: why wear tight jeans, why even sit down with a phone in your back pocket? This is just inconvenient.
