Samsung's turn. :D
Galaxy Note 4 screen separation issue reported in South Korea | BGR
‘Gapgate': Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 might have a big manufacturing problem
Samsung keeps making fun of Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus “Bendgate” problem, but the company might have issues of its own with the new Galaxy Note 4. The device might not bend, but buyers in South Korea have already noticed a manufacturing issue affecting some of the first Galaxy Note 4 units: Apparently, there’s a gap where there shouldn’t be.
According to South Korean publication IT Today, some Galaxy Note 4 users have noticed a space between the phone’s frame and the display panel, both on the top/bottom or on the sides, posting images with business cards inserted in those gaps. The report also says that two pieces of A4 paper fit inside the gaps.
It’s not clear how widespread the issue is, considering that Samsung’s South Korean Galaxy Note 4 launch day sales amounted to around 30,000 units, or all available stock Samsung had on hand, but apparently the company is aware of the issue
Considering that Samsung has rushed Galaxy Note 4 launch, at least in its home country, to better counter the iPhone 6 record sales, it’s likely this screen separation issue is a limited manufacturing problem that will be corrected before it becomes Samsung’s “Gapgate,” or something similar, once the handset launches in more markets next month.
Meanwhile, an image showing two distinct Galaxy Note 4 units affected by the matter follows below.

Thrillseeking idiots new thrill: going to Apple stores and bending IPhones...
Stop Bending the Apple Store's iPhones
Stop Bending the Apple Store's iPhones

In the wake of the uproar that followed last week's purported iPhone 6 Plus pliability problem, some people have apparently taken it upon themselves to go into Apple Stores and bend iPhones. And while it pains us that this even needs to be said, guys, please: Breaking private property doesn't prove anything. Except that you're an asshole.
The most notable case of bandit benders so far comes in the form of a couple of British teens, who tried to stick it to the man by breaking wildly expensive smartphones that they did not pay for. As the Daily Dot notes, in the five-minute video the pair posted online, the kids not only recorded themselves breaking thousands of dollars worth of hardware for all the internet to see, but they round it all off with a solid "I don't even care to be honest, because it's Apple's fault." Except that no, it's not.
Apple itself acknowledges that there are confirmed issues with new iPhones bending under some circumstances. But intentionally seeking to destroy an iPhone 6 Plus doesn't mean it was poorly built, any more than walking into Best Buy with a baseball bat and smashing TVs doesn't mean that the TVs should be more shatter-proof. It just means that you're an idiot.
But they're kids, you might say. Kids make mistakes. They sure do! And hopefully these particular teens have been publicly shamed enough that they'll at least make their criminal activity less absurdly indictable in the future. But it's not just kids that are doing this. Full-grown, literate, presumably mentally sound adults are walking into Apple Stores, bending iPhone 6 Plus floor models, and sharing their abuse of private property under the pretext that this somehow validates people's complaints.
Why are you doing this? What is there to prove? Apple has received at least 9 official complaints. Some users have bent their iPhones through typical use. Consumer Reports did determine the exact amount of pressure required to bend it. And physicists have acknowledged that, yes, this phone does have some weak points. All of this is already established. When you go breaking private property on purpose, you're not proving anything. You're just creating noise. You're distracting from the real conversation that needs to be had, which is just how common is this bending under normal circumstances, not under the circumstance where you intentionally act like a half-wit.
So please, stop going into Apple Stores to break the iPhones. And for god's sake, don't put it on the internet if you do.
