A China Unicom store in Shanghai has hired a tailor to enlarge the pockets of iPhone 6 Plus buyers, reports TechInAsia and People's Daily.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launched today in China, India and Monaco. Unlike past debuts, the China launch was described as 'low-key'.

About 100 customers waited in line Friday morning outside Apple’s store in Beijing’s upscale Sanlitun shopping district, which opened its doors at 8 a.m. for buyers who had pre-ordered their new wares—the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+. That was in part because the phone also went on sale at midnight elsewhere, including offices of China’s biggest telecom carriers.

Notably, this isn't the first time we've seen an iPhone 6 Plus pocket tailor. When the iPhone 6 Plus launched in Amsterdam, local telco KPN hired a tailor to enlarge pockets as well.

Covering up is not possible. Hiring a tailor wont solve bendgate, its the design flaw

Hey it wasn't me, I hear the Nokia is a very strong phone, you can jump on it and it won't freak. Whynot get that one for yourself. Hey...good luck...with the Nokia and all!

Heck, I'd pay extra to have my pockets adjusted (my iPhone 6 Plus sticks out the top of my shirt pockets). Of course, if they offered this on the first day of sales, I'd probably show up with every single shirt I might carry my phone in, which would produce a sizable delay in people getting their phones!
