NBA Player Blames The iPhone 6 Plus For His Tennis Elbow

We’ll admit that phones like the iPhone 6 Plus are a bit too big and unwieldy if you’re planning to use it with just one hand. However could it be too big to the point where it could lead to a person developing a tennis elbow injury from it? Well apparently that’s what happened with San Antonio Spurs forward Matt Bonner.

Speaking in an interview with Concord Monitor, Bonner claimed that he had developed tennis elbow and the pain resulting from it caused a huge distraction for him during his games. Bonner said, “It made it so painful for me to shoot I’d almost be cringing before I even caught the ball like, ‘Oh, this is going to kill.’”

He then went on to claim that the iPhone 6 Plus was the source of his injury, or so he theorized. “Everybody is going to find this hilarious, but here’s my theory on how I got it. When the new iPhone came out it was way bigger than the last one, and I think because I got that new phone it was a strain to use it, you have to stretch further to hit the buttons, and I honestly think that’s how I ended up developing it.”

That being said, to be fair there are larger phones out there and we’re sure that while the stretching might be annoying and could potentially cause injuries, the larger displays for gaming, surfing, and watch video are considered by some to be worth the inconvenience, but what say you?
