NEW YORK: The problem of bending, called ‘Bendgate’, still disturbing the users of iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6 handsets.
One of the world’s biggest smart devices manufacturers, Apple, had claimed that there were just nine cases, but now a video of latest iPhone models having Bendgate problem is surfacing on the internet these days.
Apple had invited tech journalists and bloggers into its facilities and instructed them to write about the extensive durability tests its new iPhones endured ahead of launch. Following the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launch in late September, there was a flurry of media coverage surrounding Bendgate. According to many user accounts, Apple’s new aluminum iPhones were so thin that they were bending while stowed in people’s pockets.
While dozens of reports of bent iPhones popped up in the first few days alone, Apple stated publicly that it had only received nine complaints from users who said that their new iPhones had been bent.
That number apparently angered some Apple fans out there, and a new site called “One of the Nine” launched last month. The goal of the site was to collect photos from iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners to show that more than nine iPhones had been bent during usage.
Now, despite the fact that the site didn’t get much publicity, it has collected photos of at least 300 bent iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units.
