Brands were quick to pile on the iPhone 6 Plus Bendgate controversy this week with a heavy serving of scathing tweets and jokes, except in LG’s case, it can’t get enough iPhone either.
LG – makers of the curved LG G Flex smartphone – bragged on Twitter that its phone “doesn’t bend, it flexes… on purpose,” but like countless of ignorant celebrities and brands before them, their social media mavens didn’t know we can all see their belly busting joke was crafted on an iPhone.
Using an app like Tweetdeck or Tweetbot you can see that the joke was posted using Twitter for iPhone. Which iPhone they were using is anyone’s guess, but I hope they’re taking a few design lessons from it so they can finally start using their own phones someday.

This coming from the company that put a tv screen into a refrigerator……
That is what you call witty. They didn’t even have to mention Apple anywhere, but the Twitter machine will put in the context for you. Brilliant!
Bahahaha! You’re my hero!!
Lmaoooo what a fail!!!!!!!
Apple says there’s only been 10 known issues of their phones bending, so if the competition only has this extremely rare issue to roast Apple about, they’re all about to see their market share crumble……but I don’t know how much worse LG’s share could lose since I’ve never seen anyone with their junk.
My next phone will be the G3… like a twin-turbo 6+!

Please, somebody gotta make it!
No Android or WP phone can create enough buzz to ensure that two people will stand in line to purchase one.
The day LG, Samsung, et al can produce a phone that will, THAT would be Twitter worthy. Until then, it’ll be fun just sitting back watching their mobile divisions implode.
Payback’s a bitch.
