Anyone else got a bent iPhone 6?

But when you look at the sheer amount of iPhone's sold to date (over 600m since 2007) the percentage with problems is probably insanely small.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an Apple 'fanboy' - the iPhone is the only Apple product I own. I fell into the iPhone trap because of work and have never been bothered to claw my way out.
But one thing I will say about them, from my experience and in my opinion, is that the build quality is second to none.
I'd say it's secondary to the HTC One M8 which is also 90% aluminium.Don't get me wrong, I'm not an Apple 'fanboy' - the iPhone is the only Apple product I own. I fell into the iPhone trap because of work and have never been bothered to claw my way out.

Like the other poster who commented, I've got one and it's straight as a die despite being similar proportions. Not heard of a single other M8 with bend issues either.
HTC are the only company who've made a phone to rival the iPhone when it comes to design and build quality.

Unfortunately the M8 is actually exactly the same as the iPhone 6 for strength...Like the other poster who commented, I've got one and it's straight as a die despite being similar proportions. Not heard of a single other M8 with bend issues either.

In fact I think the M8 failed first in the final tests according to that link.
Either way I have a 6 and it's straight as a straight thing. I personally don't know a single person who has bent any mobile.

From what I gather from all the articles, is that the iPhone 6 is a delicate piece of tech (who would have thought? http://betanews.com/2014/09/30/htc-one-m8-bends-ju...

), but not that bad compared to the competition. The 6 plus however is, apparently. Of course the bigger body means more leverage.The Note 3 on the other hand seems to be build like a brick compared to the competition.
People just don't look after their phones and expect far to much from them. We've had similar topics about the charging wires breaking.
I've had a 6 from day 1, and it's not bent. It never goes in my back pocket. 80kgs of meat will bend it, what do you expect? Really? If I sat on you for hours on end i think you'd probably end up bending too...
Mine also doesn't have a screen protector on it and I've no scratches yet. It does however sit in an apple case that fully protects all the edges of the glass.

Mine is bent 
put on a table next to my two brothers phones and mine moves if pressed down on it if that makes sense?
But I also dropped it a few months back and the top and the bottom of the front of the phone has a crack either end. No chance they would swap it.
Phone is crashing alot lately too.
Launch day 128GB.

If you don't ask, you don't get. You've got nothing to lose (except your time) by booking a Genius appointment. They may even be more concerned about iOS crashing and replace it for that reason, rather than the cosmetics. put on a table next to my two brothers phones and mine moves if pressed down on it if that makes sense?But I also dropped it a few months back and the top and the bottom of the front of the phone has a crack either end.

An Apple Genius comes through the my place of work every couple of days so I'll ask him what the chances are next time I see him.
I have had an iPad mini screen fixed before that was cracked but that did not have scratches on the sides that my iPhone has. It's evident the phone has been dropped onto concrete but like you say it's worth a try.
I wonder if they will swap from space grey to black
