It would be great if we
could all stop the lazy practice of adding "gate" to common words to
indicate controversy. It's a plea that falls on deaf ears, we know, but
it's just annoying.
Almost as annoying, we suppose, as getting one's hair caught in one's iPhone 6. Yes, you read that right. The latest saga to hit the iPhone, arriving shortly after everyone realize that putting 200 pounds of force on your back-pocket device via your butt might not be the best thing for its longevity, now chiefly affects those with hair—which is to say, a preponderance of iPhone 6 users.
According to a community post up at 9to5Mac, some users are allegedly getting miffed at the iPhone 6 because it catches their hair during calls and pulls it out when they remove their smartphones from their ear. No hair is immune: Normal on-top-of-your-head hair and beard hair are all apparently fair game for the snagging.
Of course, not everyone can decide what to call this predicament: beardgate? Seamgate? Hairgate?
"The seam on my iPhone 6 where the aluminum meets the glass is definitely catching my hair and pulling it out," wrote one Twitter user.
