Our pants are not happy about the iPhone 6 Plus, together with the Galaxy phones of Samsung, Apple's mega-sized phone is beginning to seem like the mobile tech future. Though, that has not stopped people from purchasing the phones like there is no tomorrow, the iPhone 6 plus was out of stocks in 24 hours.
Now, fashion is getting ready for the iPhone 6 plus in order to cope with the bendgate issue of the mobile unit. They are modifying the size of their pants' pockets in order to cater the latest phablet design. The representatives of different brands have spoken up:
- L.L. Bean's states: "Within certain product lines, such as our men's active apparel for instance, we do use iPhones and Samsung phones in our fit sessions to ensure that the pockets are large enough to accommodate these larger phones. The iPhone 6 would fit in the pockets now."
- American Eagle's representative: "Currently our men's pockets already accommodate the larger phones including the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Women's is still being evaluated."
- Jonathan Cheung of Levis said: "Without being iPhone 6-specific, our mantra, like [Steve Jobs'], will always be to design products that make people's lives a little better."
- Lee Jeans designer, Whitney Neary, explained: "It's something that we always are considering, in terms of the functionality of our garments. Of course, we're always going to make sure that we're going for something that's flattering for the consumer...but we're always thinking about how she wears the garment, what occasion she's wearing the jeans for and what she needs to just make them work for her everyday life.
- Tom Mora of J Crew announced: "Throughout the design process, we try to consider every aspect of the way our customers live their lives, and changing mobile technology is no exception. We think about all of these details - whether it's introducing new tech accessories for the new iPhone 6 - or special interior pockets to carry the various generations of iPads or tablets."
This is bad news for the people who just love palm-sized pocket.
