Jakarta - iPhone 6 Plus has complained that a number of users have the disadvantage of being easy to bend if it is stored in a trouser pocket for too long. Apple is considered to have made a big mistake by choosing a metal-aluminum alloy that is not too solid as the base material for the iPhone 6 Plus frame.
For this weakness, Apple's new smartphone with a 5.5-inch jumbo sail is now reported to be the subject of ridicule on various social media. A number of Apple's competitors did not waste this opportunity to 'beat' Apple.
According to the Business Insider page, Thursday (25/9/2014), the hashtag #bendgate, or what can be interpreted as the 'curvy scandal' of the iPhone 6Plus has become a hot topic on a number of social media. Many users of Twitter, Path, and various other photo social networks mock the weakness of the iPhone 6 Plus.
An example is what the snack brand's official Twitter account @KitKat did. The brand, which is indeed a partnership with Google, posted a photo that satirizes the fragile frame of the iPhone 6 handset. They also tweeted, "We don't bend, we #break. #bendgate #iPhone6plus.
There was also another internet user who posted photos to the Imgur website. The photo he posted is an imitation of the official Apple website. It describes a hoax feature belonging to the iPhone 6 Plus called 'Flex'
It is stated that the curvature of the iPhone 6 Plus body is not a drawback, but indeed one of the special features that is deliberately embedded in the smartphone. This feature is useful for providing a better view of watching videos, just like LG's curved screen concept
