Yes, you heard it right. As the name goes, some iPhone users have begun complaining  about their hair getting caught in the seam between the front glass and aluminum enclosure.This problem is being mainly faced by women with long hair and bearded men, and comes hot on the heels of the now infamous bendgate.This time around however, the damage isn't to the device, but to the user and a lot of very annoyed people in pain are taking to Twitter and 9To5Mac community to vent out their frustrations.Now, this new issue has started taking the social media by storm.
