Samsung and HTC take their turns at #bendgate

Yesterday, I posted about LG’s and KitKat’s reaction to the bending iPhone 6 Plus. As expected, here come Samsung and HTC taking their turn poking fun at Apple’s #bendgate.

Samsung posted this on Twitter, showing the Galaxy Note Edge’s 5.6 inch display that curves at one side of the edge.

And followed it up with an ad showing a bent iPhone 6 Plus bowing down to the Galaxy Note 3 phablet.samsung-bendgate-2

And finally, we have HTC with this clever tweet.

Designed to withstand the most demanding environments. Like your pockets.#HTCOneM8

Like all things, this will die down. Although its mostly funny, the jabs at Apple are getting old fast. And deserving or not, we all know Apple wouldn’t care with a reported 10million units sold on their opening weekend.

But still, which one do you think has the wittiest tweet or ad?
