Is getting your hair stuck in the iPhone 6 the ultimate first world problem?
APPLE fans have found a new flaw in the iPhone 6 to whinge about. If you have long hair or a beard, it seem using the iPhone 6 is a battle. But is the struggle real?
APPLE’S fussy fans have found a new microscopic flaw in the iPhone 6 to whinge about.
Long-haired and bearded iPhone 6 users say their luscious locks are getting caught in their iPhones and being yanked when making calls.
Dubbed #Hairgate on Twitter, this first world phenomenon occurs when individual hairs get caught in a small space between the phone’s glass screen and its aluminium body, and are ripped out.
Pain-stricken users have taken to Twitter to complain:
OMG I just lost a chunk of hair after the Iphone 6 came to life and ripped it out...#idiotgate #hairgate same thing.

— Chad Coleman (@dominocollege) October 1, 2014The seam on my iPhone 6 where the aluminum meets the glass is definitely catching my hair and pulling it out. #seamgate

— Srinivasan (@Srinipolagudy) October 5, 2014This isn’t the first flaw users have complained about - remember #Bendgate?
Just days after the iPhone 6 was released last month, customers complained the iPhone 6 could easily bend in your pocket after sitting down.
For iPhone 6 customers, #thestruggleisreal.
#HairGate manufacturing error? This is more serious than a phone bending IMO

I have been ripping out my hair for years with Microsoft … it is only fitting that some Apple customers now have #Hairgate
— Petabites (@WithReplies) October 5, 2014People complaining of hair getting caught or ripped out on the new iPhones are idiots! Who rubs their phone on their beard? #HairGate
