take a picture of the whole thing.
for all we know it could be slightly angled.
what is it perched on? A samurai sword holder or what?
That's the Apple Case... unfortunately not a sword holder

I see it. More like a ding instead of a bend.
Yeah, now that you mention it, from the picture it looks like the aluminum piece that connects to the glass is missing a small piece, and that makes it look like a bend.
OP: Is the bottom plate of the phone actually bent at all?
It does seem like it is, a bit at least. It wobbles very very slightly on a flat table when on it's back.
That might just be the camera. If you have something small and completely flat that you could sit on the back you could test to see if that wobbles.
If the back isn't bent, then this might just be a simple case of a manufacturing defect in the aluminum casing that probably should have been caught by QC.
I think I'd be able to lay the phone on a table so the camera doesn't interfere with the wobble...
The wobbling is extremely minimal, I still think it might be a manufacturing defect, as you said.
Well a slight bend is completely unacceptable if it is happening on it's own because of a manufacturing issue.
Every year there seems to be some fatal flaw with the iPhones that affects people, and everyone who doesnt have these issues blow them off as if they arent a big deal.
Sorry, but if someone is buying a device that can cost upwards of 1000 dollars, it should be perfect.
How is that being immoral? If apple doesn't regard it as an issue worthy of replacement surely they don't regard it as a defect or an issue? You are merely returning a functioning phone then no?
I've read a couple people on here already that apple refused to replace their bent phones and told them to get apple care and pay 180 dollars for a refurb. I wouldn't chance that.
Thanks for the opinions for now. If anyone is interested I can update the thread when I talked to AppleCare.

Yes update the thread, I'm curious what they say and if they replace it. Are you going to mention that it's bent?
OP let us know what sort of response you get from the Apple geniuses
also, do you have apple care +?
I'm hoping #bendgate removes bending from counting against the $49 return provision
What you guys think?

What type of abuse on your iPhone? Am curious because I returned mine this Monday for being curved but I did not abuse it in any way.
The iphone was in my backpocket with the screen faced against my butt cheek through a 3 hour wedding recital. Came home to charge it and noticed the slight curvature and bend; not as dire as the ones seen in recent tests where much force was used.

Same issue I had, bent inwards on the screen side
I have had my iphone 6 plus in my pocket everyday since launch day and have not had any problemsmine is perfect in my anti #bendgate Case
