“BGR has spoken with several iPhone 6 owners over the past couple of weeks who have encountered a very annoying issue with Apple’s new iPhones,” Zach Epstein reports for BGR. “The issue involves pockets on men’s jeans, but this time it’s not a matter of Apple’s gigantic iPhone phablet fitting into pockets. In fact, these particular iPhone users might wish their smartphones didn’t fit in their pockets.”
Epstein reports, “Some iPhone owners who don’t cover their phones with a protective case are finding that after sliding an iPhone in and out of the pockets on their jeans for a period of time, some of the dye from the denim is rubbing off onto the plastic strips on the back of the phone.
“The result is an unsightly discoloration that makes the iPhone look dirty and old. Conventional soaps and other cleaning products one might use in an effort to remove the darkening on the plastic strips apparently have not worked,” Epstein reports. “One BGR reader jokingly referred to the problem as ‘Dyegate.'”

MacDailyNews Take: Ooh, now Apple is doomed for sure. (smirk)
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Rob” for the heads up.]
Buy reasonable quality jeans and wash the f..g thing before wearing it, and reasonably often after that.
It’s amazing these days that people complain about this and that when the fact of the matter is that you the individual as a consumer has the right to do as you choose. Now for those who want an iPhone and choose not to put a case on it then unless you leave it at home in the box and don’t use it then it shall for the most part stay and look perfect. But come on people. Don’t want it to get scuffed put a case on it. Don’t want it to get dis colored put a case on it. Don’t want it to bend don’t sit on it. Come on people use your heads. You know the lump above your shoulders you put your phone up to to make a call. Oh wait people don’t really do that as much anymore.
Jordache looks good in those blue jeans!
