clicking noise when twisting iphone

I got a 7 Plus this morning and if I put about 80 ~ 100 grams of pressure on diagonally opposite corners I will hear a light click that appears to either originate from a corner or the centre of the screen.
Hey guys,
I'm still waiting for my iPhone plus to arrive, but a friend of mine got his already. And there is one thing that already annoys me. The iPhone 7plus makes a crackling noise if you move the bezels contrary. Here is the video of the friend, showing it:
Apple employee told at the genius bar that it was normal, since there is a brace inside.
So... Does your 7+ crackle?

So wait you forcefully twist your phone and it creeks?. Well let me make sure not to intentionally twist my phone.
This is dumb.
This is dumb.
you must not be forcefully twisting it in opposite direction for no apparent reason then
Erm, first of all: he didn't twist it FORCEFULLY. It was rather a soft and gentle twist. And secondly: iPhone 6plus DID NOT crackle or creek! He noticed that when he took the iPhone out of his case! So I can't see how it is dumb? There is another example of another friend where he noticed the crackle while the iPhone was lying on a desk and it was vibrating. So don't tell me that it's dumb...

As I already mentioned, only 7plus models are effected...
Mine does. I noticed it when I 3d touched the left edge to get to multitasking. I guess I kind of twist the phone to do it because it creeks on the lower right corner. I think it has something to do with the water resistance glue.
No. No you did not.
You stated that the iPhone 7+ did. So I figured I would mention that the regular 7 does not seem to do what you describe......... (I can do it too
)
Erm, he's still twisting it, and who the hell holds a phone like he does trying to reproduce i, again i say, this is dumb, and apparently by other posts i'm not the only one.
I'm all for legit issues but if you have to hold the phone in a way you'd never hold it, twist it to hear it "crack" thats just the dumbest pile of ish ever....
Wait til they find out that it's been shown that running over the iPhone 7 with a car will destroy it.
Nope. I shot mine with a 50 BMG (really big bullet for those who don't know) and my 7 plus deflected it and broke the bullet up like it was nothing. Not even a speck of dust on the screen let alone a hole or even scratch. You better take yours back to the Apple Store and cry until they give you free stuff.
ugh apple is doomed, im gonna go buy a cheap knockoff from korea
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with someone testing some light limits with their phone - though I can't say that I would do it with mine.
On the durability tests that I did view, it seems as though the waterproofing seal might be a little gummy, and perhaps it is working as designed (and the slight moving is creating the clicking sound). I just wouldn't do it repeatedly because what might be happening is that the seal is being weakened by being stretched out a bit.
I would imagine these phones will be put through so many tests through normal use by owners, that if there is a real problem we will all know about it, without having to put any stress tests on our own phones.
Like I said, I wouldn't do this with my own phone, but I am glad this was posted, so that I can keep it in mind down the road, and see if I notice anything during normal usage.

First take it to Apple if they don't replace complain to Tim Cook if he doesn't help you complain in the threads
