Users of the recently-announced Galaxy Note 4 report that they are seeing a major defect on their device which shows a significant gap between the phablet’s body and its display – thus the term “gapgate”.
After numerous complains on the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus’ body easily bending when applied pressure and after other brands had made fun of it, it seems like Samsung is getting the spotlight this time but not in a good way. South Korean users, where the Galaxy Note 4 was released last September 26, said that the gap in their device is thick enough to fit 2 sheets of A4 bond papers or a slightly thicker business card. It may seem like a harmless design issue, but it might affect the internals of the Note 4 in the long run since dust, lint, and even water could easily penetrate the device.
Samsung has been made aware of this issue and is already looking for a solution, although they haven’t released an official statement yet. After the ridicule that Apple got from Samsung, will they retaliate and fire some shots back at the South Korean company?

Look at the difference:
Apple won’t use Samsung’s issue against them in advertising.
Apple users won’t care to talk about Samsung’s issues.
The opposite can’t be said about Android users, who were far more vocal than the 9 people who had bending issues.
Makes you wonder what the problem is, since they don’t even own iPhones.
