Apple took a few playful, yet stinging jabs on the Internet this week over the iPhone 6 Plus “bendgate” tempest in a teapot. Even though Consumer Reports finally weighed in by showing that the new “HUGE!” iPhone was just as, if not more, durable than competitor’s handsets, that didn’t stop others from taking a jab or two.

Of course iPhone competitor LG had to point out that THEIR device flexes too… But by design.
