Anyone else got a bent iPhone 6?

Noticed the other day that my phone has a slight bend at the volume rocker. I was under the impression that the issues were limited to the much larger iPhone 6.

As usual, Apple customer service and warranty is top notch and have promised to replace it once I've backed everything up. But it's no excuse for a top tier premium phone to bend in your pocket during normal use.

Anyone else got the same issues?


It's difficult to spot at first, but if you hold the edge of the phone on a flat surface at an angle then it should be completely flush.

Glad someone has made a post..... Today My Iphone 6 has now bent in the middle, I had it in my jacket pocket with my car keys on the back of a chair, Sat down and i felt the phone under my ass cheek. Its now un-useable The screen is all knackered, can't unlock etc. All i can see is the time and date. I've only had this phone for a short while since release... my old 4S was bullet proof. Theres no scratches, nothing... Just this bend! Whats the chance of this being replaced under warranty?

Cheers

It's not in the known weak spot where the volume key is? If it isn't, it could be a problem. Do you have insurance?

Take it into an Apple Store and chance your arm. If they decline, try another Apple store. Don't tell them you sat on it.

Can I ask - how bent ?
did Apple just offer to replace - no questions ?
reason I ask is that I've noticed my phone has got a slight bend to it;
it's been in a case since I got it (new, from the Apple shop) and has no scratches marks anywhere
Quite surprised to see a bend in it today!

Sorry, procrastination has got the better of me. I went in and they said they would replace it (I took it back home to back stuff up). Wether that actually happens it not is a different story. I'll update the thread when i bother to get out the house and replace it.

Just to update the thread, I eventually got off my arse and went to an Apple Store.

Got asked a few questions and had it replaced on the spot.



As long as you don't tell them you've been sitting on it, then they'll replace it.
