Forget iPhone 6 Bendgate, now Hairgate and Beardgate surface
Users are complaining of Hairgate, where the iPhone 6 is plucking their hair
iPhone 6, the most wanted smartphone of the year by Apple, has seen harsh reviews and flaws with the design.
First it was the display screen, which was breaking within a few falls. Reviewers and critics claimed that the display screen is feeble and can shatter with just a two to three falls from a few feet.
Now comes the Bendgate, an issue with the chassis bending with sufficient force. People who kept the iPhone 6 in their pockets found that the smartphone bent quickly.
And now this time the Hairgate is doing its rounds. Hairgate is the phenomenon where the iPhone tends to catch the hair and pull it.

In short, the hair gets stuck between the display screen and the chassis, where the two meet, and the hair tends to get stuck in this gap.
Some have called it Beardgate, where they are getting their scuff caught in the seam of the iPhone 6.
Here are some of the events that happened and the users took to the social platform to inform and warn users about the Hairgate and Beardgate issue.
We are not sure whether the Beardgate and Hairgate issues are true. If you happened to know of any such incident on an iPhone 6 or in fact any other smartphone, do let us know in the comments below.
Anyone else getting beard hairs pulled by the iPhone 6/Plus? It catches my scruff in the seam and yanks it during calls. #hurts #beardgate

The seam on my iPhone 6 where the aluminum meets the glass is definitely catching my hair and pulling it out. #seamgate
