Now it's the iFunny 6: Internet jokers

Apple has been the subject of countless internet spoofs this month following the release of its new watch - and now the jokers are taking aim at the firm's 'flexible' iPhone 6 Plus.

Over the last 24 hours, #BentGate, #BendGate, and #BendGhazi have been trending on Twitter.

The social media storm is surrounding claims that Apple’s latest handsets change shape when placed in the pocket of a tight pair of jeans.

And while Apple has remained silent on the issue, the world has decided to give its amusing take on the controversy with spoof photos - that have now gone viral.

Smashed: Over the last 24 hours, #BentGate, #BendGate, and #BendGhazi have been trending on Twitter. One user posted an image of a traditional London telephone box, bent in half with the caption: 'I put my new phone in my back pocket #bendgate'

Mind over metal: Even celebrities are being brought into the controversy. One image shows Uri Gellar (left), the illusionist famous for bending spoons, attempting to bend the iPhone 6 with his mind. On the right is the character 'Bender' in the TV show Futurama, bending a cartoon iPhone 6

 

Latest design: It is believed that the thinner model, in addition to the use of aluminium metal in its design, causes the frame to deform. Pictured is a spoof advert showing the iPhone 6 Plus after a week
