Is Your iPhone 6 Defective In Any Way?

Are you serious? Surely you realise that people can get a hold of an iPhone, even though that country officially doesn't have an Apple store?
Look my friend
In iran we are in sanction...
So the apple company doesn't have any service in here..
And we don't have any choice... In this country we all love the apple and iphone and we should buy iphone with out warranty!!!!!!!!
I hate this country but what can i do??? I love apple and buy one but now??????? This issue!!!! I don't what should to do?????
You still haven't answered my question. In which country did you buy your iphone? U.S? Europe?
Sometimes my 6+ lags, and is unresponsive to touch.
Just doesn't seem as polished as my 5 in terms of fluid use.
I did a complete restore and the problems persist so I'm thinking it's not software.
Perhaps it's because I did a restore from my iPhone 5. Might start from scratch, we'll see. Anyone think this will help in any way?

Thats not a hardware problem, its an optimisation issue with iOS for the 6 and 6+
My launch day 6+ is as pristine as the day I took it out of the box. (Apart from a scratch I put on the screen)
Oh I see. Well that is no good. Have to taken it to the place you got it from and see if they can send it in for repair? If not you'll probably have to deal with it.
Thanks...
You think is getting worse or not change????
This sound( pop pop ) is not to much i mean if i have pay a lot of atention i can hera this...
I just so scare to is get worse
I havent had hardware problems. I don't think anyway. But iOS seems to get worse and worse. The huge keyboard on 6plus is far less accurate then on my 5 (which was less accurate than my 3GS). Wifi seems much less reliable than on other devices in my house. Music volume randomly changes by itself. Apps tend to crash back to home frequently (3rd party yes, but their android counterparts don't)
I bought my iPhone 6 about a month ago and I've recently requested a replacement because of severe backlight bleeding in the top left hand corner.
The new iPhone, which I guess is a refurbished one, "kinda" fixed the bleeding problem (although not completely) but now it has a clicky home button and worst of all, it has tiny little scratches around the lightning port and the wake/sleep button.
Needless to say I'm kind of disappointed considering the fact that, backlight issues aside, my original iPhone 6 was in perfect conditions (basically brand-new, with 0 scratches). What should I do?

Did you send it in or take it to the apple store? I had a dead pixel on mine (got it on 2/5/15) and I requested the genius to just replace the screen only and not the whole device. So pretty much I still have my original one that matches the serial on the box.
Also they make you sign the paperwork before and after the repair has been done. So pretty much what I did was I inspected the phone to make sure that there isn't a dead pixel and there are no scratches on the screen before I signed.
Unfortunately, there aren't any Apple Stores where I live (in Europe) so I had to call Apple Support and they had someone pick up my iPhone. After 2 days they sent me a new one.
on my 11th.
some had loose home buttons, others cam scratched, one came dented, and the rest have dark spots along the top of the screen, and the last 2 had clicky screens. this last one i got has dark spots on the screen again. im done, im sticking with it.

Clearly the only conclusion from a single anecdotal point of data is that none of such devices must exist anywhere ever.
must be nice to be rich
swapping out a phone just cause of the color...
Says the person with an iPhone 6 AND Nexus 7.
I used to live far away from an Apple Store and it wasn't a problem. Sadly over the last couple of years Apple's quality has begun to slip. Once wonderfully consistent, now it's hit and miss. I know because I buy at least one or two iPhone's, iPads and MBP's at each refresh, year after year.
Luckily my new house is only five miles from the Apple Store. Because I order BTO MacBooks they get shipped directly from China. I have them delivered to the Apple Store so I can remove it from the sealed box with an Apple associate standing by to witness it. Twice I've had $3,000+ fully optioned MBPr models come out either dented or heavily scratched.
Truly relieved that I took the trouble to have them shipped to the store, the surprise on the Apple employees face was interesting. Offering to replace them was another issue since it took over a month to get the originals... plus two charges on my credit card unless I was willing to wait even longer for a refund before initiating the replacement since Apple treats it as two orders.
Last year's iPhone 5S was also scratched. The good news is my iPhone 6 Plus came out of the box looking new, a real treat. I now appreciate getting lucky more than ever.
iPhone 6 Plus
64GB, Space Gray
Week 52 build but I got it last February 9. I took the time to read this entire thread and I've run Spotter and found 0 screen anomalies. But I have a scratched Apple logo and the stainless steel protruding camera lens has obvious scratches around it. It just looks like the color is coming off. The ringer is a little loose when set to loud. And the volume + sleep/wake buttons as well. As for software, I've experienced 5 resprings so far, has something to do with the flash memory.
And just now, I've noticed the very first tiny scratch the display has acquired (It's been naked since day 1). But then, all my Apple devices displays acquired scratches in a few months of their lives. But this is greatly disappointing and makes me wonder how well it will hold later if I keep it naked.
I hope this gives others insights if it's time to buy, or exchange a defective unit.
