I am the latest victim of the 6+ bending

... of course it could be that the table is not perfectly flat and that the OP is putting the phone in different places on different days.
 
Ok, Mailbox, I'm going to be really honest here about what I would do in this situation.

Nothing.

I'd put the case back on, quit checking it daily, and just enjoy using the phone.
 
Mine wobbles if pressed on two opposite corners too (face down of course). Only does it with the leather case on though, so it's obviously not the phone that is imperfect.

Just so the naysayers include me in their stats, my 6+ has started to bend after 15 days of use.

The bent is not yet visible to the naked eye, but failed to pass my daily test:
- place it, screen down, on the same surface
- tap it on each of the 4 corners

Until today, the phone was as flat as the table, today it started wobbling significantly when taping two opposite corners.

Have had every iPhone since the first generation, have used this one the same way, carried in front pocket when on the move, and usually on a table when at home or work. Never used in a back pocket, didn't run into any situation that prompted me to check if my phone was damaged either, just day to day normal usage.
The phone has been in Apple Leather case from the first minute.

There are already a couple of negative impacts from the slight bend:
- when tapping on keyboard with phone flat on table in its case, phone wobbles
- phone has become noisier when vibrating if on a table

Or there could be imperfections in the flat surface that the op doesn't notice.

That would cause this corner test to seem to fail. I could just be some debris or a slightly warped table (for example).

Just sayin...since you can't see the bend.

If it is truly bent, it should be enough to see if you take a quality photo..

if my main goal in life was to prove the naysayers wrong, I would sure use all the tools in my possession to provide documentation, but it really is not... plus we've seen what happens to those who posted pictures, all they get is accusation of wrong doing, I am not interested in that.
 
Title of this thread - "I am the latest VICTIM of the 6+ Bending".

Says it all.

So you think starting a thread without supplying proof is somehow better?
 
When I first unboxed my 6+ I thought I saw a slight bend but that turned out to not be the case. I would like to see a photo of this bend as well.
 
yeah... pics would help. Some dude would then put a straight line across the edge and count the pixels....

nope, same table, same spot... of course since I detected the issue, I have tried on different surfaces with the same result.

You're gonna need to find another excuse, or maybe just maybe start believing the people that report those issues?

Relax. If you can't even see it why are you cranked up about it? Why are you checking it every day? Stop. R E L A X Obsessing over your phone to that degree is no way to go through life.
 
Have we seriously gotten to the point where we're discussing someone's phone slightly wobbling on a table?? Really?? Has this forum sunk SO low that we're discussing this minute of a detail? What's next, there's a dust speck on the top of my phone? Do I use Pledge or Windex to get it off? I....I....just don't even know what to think of this place anymore.
 
Sensationalist title, yet a somewhat rational OP. Not sure if I should snark or let it be.

would love to, I am just hear to report the issue, not really looking for a solution.

I did report though a couple of negative impacts from the slight bend, including a louder vibration; so it definitely makes it a bit harder to enjoy

actually no.... if you read my other posts then you will find that I do believe that it is a real issue.

I am not a #bendgate naysayer !

want a picture of what exactly? told you I could not see the bend by just looking at it, I think I was pretty clear about that

been 15 days... either way, I am not interested in getting a similar unit, would rather hear confirmation that Apple has silently fixed the issue, then go get a replacement

How about a vid of the non visible bend or the extra vibrations when the phone is on vibrates.

You look for a problem hard enough in your "daily" test, you'll eventually find it. Like I said, your anal retentiveness is the real issue here.

already replied to that: tested on the same spot, same table every day. Once i noticed the issue, tested on other surfaces, with same result.
