KARACHI: Twitter lit up Wednesday morning with photos posted by iPhone 6 users of their newly purchased phones -- which happened to be ‘bent’.
According to these users, the iPhone 6 physically bends when you put it in your pockets.
The hashtag '#BendGate' was trending on Twitter throughout the day.

@Muhammad Ovais: they are talking about phone sizes not display sizes.
@Muhammad Ovais:
Did you even read the article properly? The sizes you mention are screen sizes and these are the physical dimensions of the phone as clearly stated in the article "5.44 inches in height and 2.64 inches in width. On the other hand, the iPhone 6 Plus is 6.22 inches in height and 3.06 inches in width."
@Moiz Omar,
Hahaha, this is exactly how Android users gain the opportunity to hold their devices in great esteem. However, it must be noted that this may, (and I say may because Apple just MIGHT have intended it), be a flaw in the hardware design. It should be clear that Android is simply an operating software, and in my opinion, which I am entitled to like everyone else is to theirs, iOS has a better UI and design compared to Android. Nonetheless, Android is known for its customization.
However, this post does infact deal with the hardware sector. :)
Thanks, @GreenTeen92 (twitter).

The article mentions the vertical height and the horizontal width of both phones. They are correct. 4.7 and 5.5 are the DIAGONAL lengths of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus respectively. I'm sure you misread it, the reporting is correct. Please do take care in the future.
Thanks. @GreenTeen92 (twitter).
The writer is Talking about the dimensions here. iphone6 is (5.44 x 2.64 x 0.27 in) The overall size is 4.7inch Genius --_-- for details visit Phonearena.com @Muhammad Ovais:
@Muhammad Ovais ~ ET mentioned height and width not screen diagonal size.
@Muhammad Ovais: The reporter says that Iphone 6 and Iphone 6 plus are 5.44" and 6.22" respectively in "height" and not the screen size! So that is correct.
