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.

Almost sounds like satire.

This is definitely true. Can not figure out how it's happening.

The bending doesn't help any. Puts the phone closer to the head where it can more easily snag the hair. The iPhone 6 is like a line of dominoes.

Had the iPhone 6 for 3 weeks. I love this phone. Haven't had any issues.

It's a design feature to pull the nasty arse hair from old men's ears that are too dumb to own an Android with a built in card holder.

Years from now we will look back and know that this was the beginning of the end.

Serious question, Gman. Do you know how bad of a poster you are?

obviously not
Not that I care a lick.

I thought was funny; but I'm told I have a strange sense of humor.

other than you don't think it's funny, enlighten me as to what's wrong with the post. Everyone else is making jokes about it. I mean you don't believe this is true do you? And even it is, wouldn't gap gate big a much bigger candidate for hair to get hung in?

The gap is too wide to snag hair, and that's why it's a feature!

I'd imagine all the business and credit cards would block the hair anyway!

That's the polite way to tell you that you're not funny.

Meh. I crack myself up all the time. My experience is most of the jokes go right over people's heads. Mostly Windows & Fandroid users.

But each to his own.

The gapgaters are a bunch of damn crybabies with no initiative. The obvious mod is to fill it with some of that automotive liquid gasket stuff, like iPod Touch lightleakgaters had to do. Jeez.
