A STORE IN China is offering to enlarge pants pockets for people buying the new, larger iPhone 6s.
The iPhone 6 should fit fine in anyone’s pants, since it’s just 4.7-inches large. The iPhone 6 Plus, at 5.5-inches, is going to be a bit snug in most pants pockets.
This is mostly a publicity stunt. And it’s working.

The Chinese are sew clever!
Loving this *cough* thread already.
This story has me in stitches!
The iPhone 6 will also make your pockets lighter.
Reminds me of the olden days when the tailor would ask *cough* ‘Does sir dress to the right or left’? Real men just had their pants left baggy at the knees ;-)
Pockets in your pants? Trousers you numpty.
David the artical is just a cut and paste of an US article. Don’t be stressing yourself over the problem of American miss use of words. They can’t help it if they dont understand that pants are men’s underwear knickers are women’s underware.
They also don’t understand difference between trousers and slacks.
Where do they stand on caks ?
Solutions ! Not problems.
This is a total copycat.
In the beginning of the september there was a stunt from Dutch Telecom provider during the iPhone 6 Launch in Amsterdam.
They came up with the solution for #Bendgate called Pocket Plus.
Now yesterday (October 17) in Shanghai, the Chinese created an exact replica of this stunt. Besides iPhones they also now copying advertising.
have your say
