Bendgate taunts Apple

Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
It’s a wise saying that few in the tech industry seem to
live by. But it’s alright, we don’t mind. The big names’
desire to capitalize on a competitor’s misfortune is
often a source of hilarity.
Take #bendgate. By now, you probably know that
simply walking around with an iPhone 6 Plus in your
pocket could bend it , sometimes irremediably. In
typical Internet fashion, the issue spiraled into a storm
of 160-character quips, more or less witty memes, and
deep social commentary from everyone and their
grandma.

Apple’s got its share of snark and derision over
#bendgate (or is it #bendghazi?). But you can count on
rivals in the Android camp to make it even harder for
the folks in Cupertino.
LG casually recommends users a phone that’s
supposed to be bent, like the G Flex.
Our phone doesn't bend, it flexes...on purpose.

While HTC probably takes the cake with its own little
jab.

We are actually surprised that Samsung doesn’t have a
video ad ( or six ) out by now. They’re probably on it,
though.
What’s your favorite #bendgate joke? Should we even
be making fun of Apple? I mean, problems with
Android devices come up all the time.
