The iPhone 6 Plus is flexible, and not necessarily in a good way. 

Since the phone hit stores last Friday, a number of owners have reported bending near the volume buttons and mute switch. 

Most owners noted that their iPhone 6 Plus got bent after they place in in their front pocket for a duration. 

One owner even gave a detailed breakdown of how his iPhone 6 Plus “slightly distorted” after a day at a wedding on the MacRumors forums: 

“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.”

Other owners took to Twitter with their photos using the hashtag #bendgate.
