'Curved. Not bent’: Rivals mock Apple’s iPhone #bendgate

Apple’s smartphone rivals have taken to Twitter to mock the so-called “bendgate” surrounding the iPhone 6 Plus after customers complained that the newly-released phones had bent unexpectedly. “Curved. Not Bent,” Samsung tweeted, along with a photo of its Galaxy Note Edge, which features a purposely very curved edge. “Our phone doesn’t bend, it flexes … on purpose,” LG wrote on Twitter. A bunch of other mock ads were making the rounds as well. Earlier this week, iPhone Plus 6 owners posted photos showing their new phones with slight bends in the thin aluminum frame from seemingly innocuous use - like being placed in pants pockets. On Wednesday, Apple promised to replace the bent handsets.

We don’t bend, we #break. #bendgate #iPhone6plus
