“It seems that one ‘gate’ type scandal isn’t enough for Cupertino this time around,” Darren Allan reports for Betanews. “Following ‘bendgate’… we now have ‘hairgate.'”
“Apple’s new iPhone 6 isn’t causing folks to pull their hair out with frustration, it is just simply and literally pulling people’s hair out — or that’s the allegation,” Allan reports. “Apparently, the thin seam between the display glass and aluminum body is snagging on long hairs (and beard hairs, too) when people are making phone calls, and being yanked out when the handset is moved away from the caller’s face.”
Allan reports, “Others doubt whether this is a real issue, while slipping a gag in at the same time, of course. Jen Dudley-Nicholson noted: ‘Two weeks in and I have yet to experience iPhone 6 #Hairgate. Perhaps it’s a bald-faced lie?'”

MacDailyNews Take: As with Microsoft’s upside-down and backwards Mac knockoff, although not as deeply entrenched, there is an industry dependent on Google’s inferior iOS wannabe. Said industry now clearly sees the writing on the wall and they don’t like what it says.
Android’s one big selling point – big displays – has evaporated. Increasingly desperate times call for increasingly desperate FUD. This one, though, is particularly laughable.
Our second-generation 64-bit A8-powered iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units can bend all day long while giving us haircuts and close shaves and you can have them…
…when you pry them from our cold, dead hands.

In case you’re holding it wrong, use Duct Tape. Problem solved. 😉
Now we know the reason for the bendy phones!
They follow the contour of your face so you get a nice close shave. 🙂
But if you use the force needed to bend an iPhone 6, you’re likely to break your jaw while doing the nice close shave.
I’m glad it’s not just me. Thought I was losing my mind. I have short hair and it pulled one of mine out about every other day. You could literally see the hair still in the seam. I usually use my phones without a case, but had to break down and get an Apple leather case to avoid the issue. Never had the problem with any other iPhone model.
Seriously dude, haven’t you read the previous comments? You must be the stupidest troll ever !! What a dickhead.
Not a problem here, but then I have as much hair as Telly Savalas. “😜”
Bogus claims get over! it and enjoy your new IPhone 6.
Definitely pulls on my sideburns daily but I’m not going to be suing anyone for it
“Bald-faced lie?”
It’s BOLD-faced lie. BOLD!!!!
Good grief.
