Hate to say this but Apple do have a serious design flaw problem with its latest iPhone 6+ that's currently breaking on all social media outlets.

Just imagine you dropped £600+ on the phone only for it to be faulty a few days after release.I will be returning my unopened iPhone 6+ back to Apple for full refund.

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Bend Easily and Are Flimsy Say Users

The more you see it the more it winds me up that a company like Apple could release a flagship product with a major design flaw.

"Gate"

Conspiracy theories and social media = Bendgate

What I find laughable are the people who are suddenly calling people "stupid" for putting phones in their pockets.

Large screen phones are not a new thing, and there has not been mass hysteria of android devices bending.

I'd say it's pretty common for guys to put phones in their jeans. It's not as if the phones are being used in unrealistic scenarios to try and produce faults.

Let's face it, regardless of genuine quality control issues, apple has die hard fans that refuse to ever believe anything could be wrong with any of their products.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying there is an inherent fault/problem with the new iphone. I'm not qualified to say and frankly I don't care. What concerns me is the people who are so attached to manufacturers that they can see no negative and defend their products as if their life depends on it.

These people are everywhere, whether it's apple nutters, or samsung or console fanboys. It's ridiculous.

Well I returned mine back for a full refund and was asked why.I told the unhappy looking Apple guy to Google Apple 6 bendgate on the nearest iMac.The look on his his face was a picture.

Bet he was gutted - how are they ever going to find someone else to buy your unopened phone? Lol

Not my problem anymore but customers in the Apple store were openly discussing it.
