Since the new model launched on Friday, reports have emerged online that 'a small but growing number' of iPhone owners claim the body of their latest Apple smartphone - which retails fromAUS $999, US $299 and £619 - bent after carrying the device was left in pockets for an extended period of time.
Others took to social media, facetiously thanking Apple CEO Tim Cook for the 'flexible display' on their new gadget.
It is believed the thinner model and the use of aluminium metal in its design causes the phone to deform.
'The 6 Plus was about 18 hours in my pocket while sitting mostly,' Hanzoh said.
'As I lay it on the coffee table and sat down on the couch to relax from the drive, I saw the reflection of the window in the iPhones slightly distorted. Now I lay it flat with the display side on the table, take a look.'
Hanzoh questioned whether the new 5.5-inch design was 'too thin'.
The bendy feature of the new iPhone has also been met with wide criticism on social media.
Others hashtagged 'bendgate' as they poked fun at the defect.
One user wrote: '@tim_cook hi Tim, I absolutely love my new iPhone 6 Plus!! My favorite feature is the flexible display.'
