#Dyegate may be the iPhone 6's latest problem

Oh no. Here we go again.

It almost seemed like we had a good run going of not hearing about any problems with Apple's new iPhone 6 smartphone. However, that lucky streak may have been broken with the latest issue some iPhone 6 users have reported: Dyegate.

BGR spoke with several iPhone 6 owners over a period of a few weeks, and they told the website that after repeatedly putting their iPhones in their jeans pocket and taking it out again, as any normal human being with a mobile phone does, the dye from the denim turned the white strips on the gold model of the iPhone 6 blue. All of the versions of the iPhone 6 include these plastic strips outlining the top and bottom of the back side of the phone, but it appears that only the gold model includes strips light enough for a blue dye to rub off on them. Now doesn't that make you feel blue?

"The result is an unsightly discoloration that makes the iPhone look dirty and old," according to BGR. "Conventional soaps and other cleaning products one might use in an effort to remove the darkening on the plastic strips apparently have not worked."
