Of the hundred zillion people who lined up to purchase an iPhone 6 on Day 1, we wonder how many have experienced what some are calling #Bendgate? Word on Twitter is that the new aluminum phone can be easily bent by hand, or if carried in a tight pants pocket.
#bendgate really dig the innovation involved in those new, bendable iPhones. … oh wait, they're not supposed to bend? ooops.

I hope the #iphone6 #BendGate issue helps to rid the world of hipster skinny jeans. That would Job's greatest gift to the world, ever.

All I get from this #bendgate stuff is a mental image of a conflicted hipster holding an iPhone 6 in one hand, and skinny jeans in the other

If you own an iPhone 6 Plus, you should also own cargo pants. #BendGate

I guess baggy pants will be making a comeback, just to make a phone feel better #BendGate

Some think the whole #Bendgate scandal is overblown.

RE: iPhone 6+ bending thing- in fairness I own a lot of expensive things that are easy to bend. The trick is I take care of them

Prediction: One person bent an iPhone 6 & posted a pic. Then some other idiots tried to bend theirs, felt dumb, & complained. "Controversy"

Just an anecdote: I carried around the iPhone 6 Plus for 5 days in a pocket at Disneyland on rides & coasters and did not bend it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
