iPhone SE is asymmetrical -- one corner has 1mm bulge

[dave006]

Just confirmed my suspicions that all iPhone SEs have a potential defect: the person using it. I declare it OCD-gate.

Note: Your individual experience may vary but never fear there is a ???-gate just waiting to draw you in the conspiracy theory of the day of the week.

By working off a relatively small but statistically significant sample size. Observe your iPhone SE closely, you'll notice it too like other people in this thread.

What makes it a statistically significant sample size?

I wish I could see what everyone is talking about. :/

Pretty sure it's a troll topic rather than an actual observation.

This thread is a perfect display of Apple enthusiasts hypocrisy.

One moment Apple's precision design is heralded.

The next, upon spotting anything that might not be up to Apple's standard, it's downplayed with Devotees coming out to attack the messenger. Devotees claim it's irrelevant. Devotees doing what they do best.

I'm not even close to a "devotee", just someone with basic measuring ability calling BS on a nonsense claim.

Just got my SE finally ... and just wanted to say ... there's no bulge.

Just for grins I checked my SE with a set of digital calipers. The thickness is within .002" all the way around. That's .05mm. Some of the stuff spewed on here is just plain silly.

You don't need to see. You just have to believe!

Just confirmed my suspicions that all iPhone SEs have an additional 1mm bulge on the top right corner. (It's the part above the aluminium edge, the top right corner sticks out 2mm versus 1mm everywhere else).

It is a smooth, slight transition and given the position I suspect it's to make room for the 6S camera. Most people probably won't notice this, but the front corner casing extension is probably enough to prevent a back camera bulge.

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm OCD and cannot unsee after measuring. I checked some Apple Store display units and they have the same bulge, so it's probably part of the design. #sneakyive

I don't really know what you re talking about but I think I had this before on my old 5s. On the top right corner, That thin plastic frame was like half a millimeter raised up and also the corner of the glass panel was even more rased.

Can you provide a close up picture?
