Is it a manufacturing error?

It gets a little bit annoying but I just need to know if it will defect my iPhone.

I didn't drop it or anything and I haven't taken my phone in public since the launch date but there is a light coming out of the gap on the side of the phone but it's like half a centimeter light.

You won't be able to see it unless it's the phone is in a dim area

The gap is like where they describe where hairgate pulls your hair at

Looks like a little bit of light bleed to me.

If you're not happy with it, exchange the phone. To be honest, if you slap a case on the phone it won't be noticeable at all.

I've not really looked at my iP6+ that closely to see if there's any gaps or light bleeds.

Will a light bleed defect my phone in the future?
I'm just worried about that, if not there's no problem at all!

Even if you want to exchange it, I would wait a couple months. Right now it's a bit of a mess. Trade in for one issue, and you'll get another back. Once production slows down, the situation might be better
