After news of the iPhone 6 black market and how people came to blows while queuing for the coveted gadget, comes the iPhone 6 Plus Bend-gate.

The incident first surfaced on Mac Rumors forum on Monday 21 Sept that some iPhone 6 Plus users were accidentally bending the 5.5 inch phablet in their pockets just days after its launch.

One user commented:

Yesterday, I left at 10am with the iPhone in my left front pocket of my suit pants. I drove 4 hours to a wedding, which also involved a lot of sitting during dinner etc but also 2-3 hours of dancing. I left at 2am and went to bed, driving home 4 hours back.

So in total, the 6 Plus was about 18 hours in my pocket while sitting mostly.

As I lay it on the coffee table and sat down on the couch to relax from the drive (yes, sitting again ), I saw the reflection of the window in the iPhones slightly distorted. Now I lay it flat with the display side on the table, take a look.

And pictures of the bent iPhone 6 started streaming in.

Is there a reason? No one can say for sure but the phone is made from aluminium, which is malleable.

Here's a video of a bend test:

What if you wear those super tight jeans? Maybe your iPhone will transform into a LG.

Thinking of flipping the phone for a small fortune or before you inevitably bend it? You have missed the boat.
