The iPhone 6 bend issue has resulted in exploring some 'similar' problems that are just as disappointing. For instance, the fine folks at The Verge has recently discovered that the banana also suffers from an annoying bend. Although not as bad as the iPhone 6 bend, this still leads to some difficulties.
Chris Zeigler of The Verge writes, "I'd assumed that the banana's protective case would give it some semblance of stability, but I noticed that the one I bought last Friday had a slight bend when I took it out of my pocket this morning. Yes, true, bananas have a natural curve--but you shouldn't be able to bend them further on your own. (Interestingly, I was unable to bend an orange, so not all fruits seem to have this problem.)"

Trend Themes
1. Fruit Durability Testing - This trend could lead to the creation of new fruit durability tests that could be used to determine which fruits are most resistant to bending and other forms of damage.
2. Biodegradable Protective Packaging - This trend could lead to the creation of more environmentally friendly packaging materials that can better protect delicate fruits and vegetables from damage during transit and storage.
3. Smartphone Durability Innovations - This trend could inspire smartphone manufacturers to develop more durable devices that can withstand bending and other forms of damage.
Industry Implications
1. Agriculture - This trend could impact the agricultural industry, as farmers and produce companies may need to consider fruit durability when selecting which fruits and vegetables to grow and sell.
2. Packaging - This trend could impact the packaging industry, leading to the development of more innovative and effective packaging materials that can better protect delicate fruits and vegetables during transit and storage.
3. Technology - This trend could impact the technology industry, inspiring smartphone manufacturers to develop more durable devices that can withstand bending and other forms of damage.
