#Bendgate: LG France pokes fun at the iPhone 6 Plus, completely backfires

As you can imagine, Apple's competitors are anything but silent on the matter, and rejoice the possibility of sneaking one at the Cupertino giant-- most already have. LG UK, for example, saw an opportunity to push the G Flex -- the world's first flexible smartphone that bends "on purpose". A few days later, the company's France arm decided to follow that example, and posted a similar tweet, again boasting about the G Flex and its ability to bend. What the folks behind Cult of Mac noticed, however, is that the tweet, in an ironic twist, was posted via an iPhone -- as you can see from the screenshot yourself.

It's worrying that the 6 Plus bends the way it does -- enough that Apple is likely to replace your unit if it passes an internal inspection. But the irony (and lesson) here is pretty clear -- while specifically sending the tweet from the G Flex may be overdoing it, at the very least don't use a product from the very company you're poking fun at to do it.
