While most buyers of the new iPhone models seem happy with their purchase, some iPhone 6 Plus users are complaining that their new supersized phones have already bent while in their pants pocket. The issue has earned the hashtag #Bentgate on Twitter.

As with previous controversies surrounding new iPhone releases, some are poking fun at the reported issue.
