Hey, look at that phone bend! That has got to be the LG G Flex, right? Uh, no. Actually, the warped phone in the series of pictures below is the Apple iPhone 5s. One of our loyal readers sent us a picture of a co-worker's iPhone and this particular unit apparently has a problem with overheating. Once the phone gets extremely hot, it starts to warp resulting in a flexible look.

The overheating Apple iPhone 5s is actually a company-issued model, which might be why the user doesn't seem to be in such a rush to return it for a "cooler" unit. Anyone else have a problem that results with their Apple iPhone bending over backwards to imitate the LG G Flex?
