Splashed out for the new iPhone 6?

You might find it comes with an unexpected feature.

A number of owners have complained their new smartphone has become BENT after only a few days being kept in a pocket.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - which cost £539 and £619 respectively - were launched around the world last Friday.

New features include a larger screen surrounded by an aluminium frame.

But several owners have posted evidence that the phone bends all too easily.

One Apple fan named Hanzoh posted on MacRumours forum that his new iPhone 6 Plus has been left distorted after only 18 hours in his pocket.

The issue quickly took hold on social media and has been dubbed 'bend-gate'.

One tech enthusiast even posted a video on YouTube to prove how easily it can be done.

Apple has so far declined to comment on the alleged problem.

Apple users two years ago "You look like you're taking into a piece of toast" (referring to Galaxy Note II).

Apple users now "Hey look at my new iPhone with a big screen! It's also flexible...errr...wait a minute"

Some poor engineering team somewhere is going 'I told you so' for sure.

Maybe if they used decent materials they'd get better results ;) Of course, that would eat into profits........ and we can't have that [-(

How do they make past the engineering phase though? They couldn't have been in that much of rush, where at least one person at the factory went - Holy shit, it bends :-s
