Why everyone suddenly began to bend their smartphones and post photos on the Internet

Every time a new iPhone goes on sale, users find some flaw in it, which instantly becomes the cause of mass paranoia of eplophans and a source of loulzes for everyone else. And this time the tradition was continued: users found that if you sit on your phone, it can bend. On the Internet, a wave of publications with photos of curved sixth iPhones in the style of some LG devices, accompanied by claims that now you can bend the phone even in the front pocket of pants.



While it’s not fashion, it’s just complaints: people who liked to stick their phones in the back pockets of jeans and then sit in them, found that at a diagonal of 5.5 inches, this trick can no longer be repeated as painlessly as before, because the phone, like a good dog, becomes like its owner. Well, sometimes.

According to Watergate tradition, this scandal was called “bendgate” (“pognu-gate”). On MacRumors published a whole selection of iPhones-gnu:

The reasons are generally clear: aluminum, from which the iPhone case is made, is not only lightweight and pleasant to the touch, but also a rather flexible metal. At the same time, the iPhones themselves have become larger and thinner, which makes the task of dying even easier.

Moreover, the owners of bent devices claim that they bend not only in the rear, but even in the front pockets. Wearers of narrow jeans are in the area of special risk.

In search of the truth, attempts to curve the iPhone were recorded on video. It's scary.



In general, experimentally it was possible to prove that iPhones do bend. The good news is that they bend, not break: all bent iPhones have retained the entire screen and performance.

The site “Cult of Mac” is trying to save the nerve cells of eplophans: they posted a photo selection of smartphones of other models and brands, proving that everything bends.

iPhone 5s He was smaller and thicker, and still bent:

Samsung Galaxy S4:

Sony Xperia Z1:

iPhone 5:

BlackBerry Q10:

I wonder what the owner of this is doing. HTC EVO?

Oppo:

iPhone 4s

It’s a pity, it still does not answer one question: why wear tight jeans, why sit anywhere with a phone in the back pocket? It's just uncomfortable.
