iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users experiencing issues with case discoloration

4.6
It looks like Apple might have more than just 'bendgate' issues with its latest devices, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. After a month, it looks like some users are experiencing issues with discoloration in regards to the plastic antenna bands that are located at the top and bottom of the device.

According to BGR, a couple of readers have chimed in on the site, reporting that their once pristine iPhones are suffering from discoloration on the plastic antenna band areas. The problem seems to occur with users that put their devices into pant pockets. The repeated action, that most likely happens multiple times over the course of a day, causes the dye of the pant to eventually rub off onto the phone.

While there's no word on how to correct this problem once it has occurred, those who have contacted Apple for support have been told to try and remove the stain by carefully scrubbing the area with household cleaning products. Luckily, those that have yet to encounter this issue can most likely just purchase a case to prevent the discoloration from occurring. Judging from the pictures, it looks like the white and gold models will be more susceptible to this issue due to the phones' lighter colored antenna bands.

Ying Wow... i mean just wow... Any phone is likely to bend with the right amount of force... But clearly people are just too dumb to realize


I hope you realize any modern smartphone is liable to bend because of how thin they are.


I have a Nokia with a 6 inch display, which is bigger than iphone! I've had it about 12 months, i have no cover on it, i put it in my pocket all the time. The screen isn't marked or cracked, the plastic casing basically has no marks on it and best of all it shows no sign of bending! P.S. And it cost me like half as much as an iphone!


It's okay!!! Your phone also does at least 70% less than the iPhone 4s LOL


And then there's the rest of us, with Androids. My beautiful Sony Xperia which is bigger, cheaper, and a heck of a lot better than any iPhone and most Androids! An iPhone literally is the mac of phones, over priced, terrible looking and terrible performing but it still has a following. Also like the Call of Duty of phones when you look at it, I mean who buys a phone where you can't even put in a Micro SD card? Or one where the charger is $40 and only for that phone? It's rediculous, I'm surprised at your idiocy


overprice? yes terrible looking? naw by far the best "looking" everything fits togather nice and smooth and expensive looking thats the only thing i will give apple. Oh and the software is so optimized that it runs just as smooth as phone with 2x the hardware in it. The microsd is a bummer to but we are moving to clud and its only 99c to 2$ a month for storage available whereever you go not just on your phone without having to remove and change cards.
