iPhone 6+ minor rocking normal?

Probably. Your iPhone could be bent a little. I did the test too mine was totally flat, so I guess yes, it is #bendgate, but it should not affect your everyday iPhone life. If you constantly look at the bend like someone with OCD you might want to exchange it. But if you can ignore it, everything will be fine.
Plus 1, the OP needs to lay it flat on the edge of the table with the camera off the edge.
Uh... did you read the post? Face DOWN.
Anyway, people have already covered it. They make tens of millions of these. There are design tolerances. You can't expect every single example to be 100% perfect.
Exactly, and has the OP tested the table top?
Bend gate has caused issues to be looked for

Sorry, your right, didn't read the whole thread. My table top post applies ? Potentially?
Is there a reason this should bother me? If i could imagine a scenario where I needed to use my phone while it was face down on a table, then perhaps I'd be concerned. For what it's worth, my 6+ doesn't have this issue, but I wouldn't really care if it did. Also it's possible that the surface of the wooden table wasn't perfectly flat.
That won't work. The table doesn't need to be level. It's surface needs to be flat. He should try it on a variety of different surfaces if he really cares about a variance that small.

Yeah... you also need to slow your rush to fuel the bendgate fire and actually READ the original post where he clearly says the .gif isn't his phone.

Try a different surface. Mine wobbles against some seemingly flat tables, but it doesn't wobble at all against my macbook and other metal surfaces (though I don't like putting the screen face down ever personally)
No, my actual phone shows no presence of physical warping or bending of any sorts. Even the in-app spirit level shows 0. When placing a ruler over the front/back vertically, horizontally, diagonally seems negligible. Only facing down it shows very minute rocking, not as severe as the gif. Would you report or ignore, or get Apple Care + and consider replacing much later on?
Tried it on various surfaces, same effect.
Visualise front facing down, back facing up. (i.e. rear protruding camera is facing sky) I just have to state this because some people just don't understand.
Diagonally tapping corners (near headphone jack) and (rear camera region) will then show the minute rocking.

If there is a problem bring it back to the store. Problem solved! Apple are good with genuine complaints. I have a iPhone 6 plus and it looks perfect!
Just tested mine for rocking and it doesn't move!
