Since the release of Apple’s iPhone 5, rumors were already spreading about the next update. Many were excited for the new release, hoping that the iPhone 6 would expand upon its predecessor and bring new features. What we got instead was an iPhone 6 Plus that, while an improvement in technology, was able to bend within your pocket, enough so that buyers are concerned. There were many complaints but people did not expect for major corporations like Kit Kat and Pringles to jump on the bandwagon as well, joining in on the dialogue while smartly marketing their own products. Here are a few tweets coming from various companies about the “#bendgate” ordeal.
Nicht mal auf Biegen und Brechen. #unBENDable #bendgate http://t.co/XvwsR2iFdC
