And yeah, put a case on it. Problem solved. Just not a clear case. That would not solve the problem.

No issues on my silver 6+ 128gb. Text is perfectly straight.

You can return it within 14 days for no reason. If it bothers you return it and tell them you want one thats right.
Mine is the same. iPhone 6 Space Grey 16gb AT&T.
I will check some at the Apple Store in the next few days. If I see some are perfect then I will exchange.

I went and looked at the 2 on display at the at&t store near me and both are perfectly straight. I know it doesn't affect the way the phone works, but it just bothers me. Looks like another luck of the draw realease from apple. We weren't suposed to care about the scratches on the edges of the 5 & 5s and I guess we're not suposed to care about lop sided text on our supposably top of the line phones from apple.
It's clearly noticeable even before I clicked on the image to enlarge it. I would return it. Obviously, the QC, was ordering lunch when yours went through the conveyor belt. Or the stamping/etching machine was not aligned properly.
That isn't surprising. Apple undoubtedly checks each display model very carefully before putting it before the public. Something like a crooked silkscreened logo would never get past in-store quality control.
I feel bad for those who are getting these crooked-logo phones. Does it affect the operation of the phone? No. But is it annoying and indicative of hurried manufacturing? Absolutely.
Thats how all the phones should be looked over, i understand there mass produced but when you but a “premuim” product you'd expect a great QC device. Period.
I know you could say that it is only a bit of writing on the back of a phone... but for a company like Apple who pride themselves on the design of their products and their brand... this is shocking.
The writing on the back is as equally important as every other component on the phone... not only for the customer, who has shelled out lots of money for a premium product, but for Apple who seem to put as a lot of effort into the little details that help build positive brand recognition.
If I was someone who knew nothing of Apple and was using your phone to decide whether to buy an iPhone or any of their other products; I may look at this slanted engraving and think 'well this is a company that clearly doesn't take themselves seriously and don't really care about checking things like this don't happen'... and would possibly not buy.
Surprised this got passed their inspection; especially if there are more than a few cases as appears to be the case.

My 64GB Silver Plus has the same issue. I didnt notice it until coming across this thread. My phone also has the weird, LOUD vibration buzz which overpowers the vibration itself. Contemplating whether i should go exchange it or not since i risk getting another faulty unit (something worse such as display issues, bent frame, dents, etc.) Its just the mere fact that i actually dropped $900 on the phone thats getting to me.
