iPhone 6 Plagued By Misaligned Selfie Cameras

Owners claim the phone’s front-facing “selfie camera” is misaligned, with a grey crescent visible on one side.
Various posters on Reddit, Macrumors and other forums claim that their iPhone 6’s selfie camera has become misaligned with its housing, causing a grey crescent shape to appear at the edge.

The Reddit poster said he and a friend both had the same problem with their new $869 devices, and wondered if anyone else had too.
As it turned out, the pair were far from alone.
“I did, they replaced it, and the replacement shifted within a week,” said one commenter.
Some said they had managed to get replacements with the camera properly aligned, but many said they wouldn’t be going back to the shop just yet.
“My nearest Apple store is two hours away,” said one user, while another added, “It’s working just fine, just a minor annoyance.”

It’s worth noting that this is a purely cosmetic issue, and a fairly minor one at that. Pictures still come out fine, which is arguably the most important thing, but it’s still undesirable on a shiny new piece of expensive technology.

Everyone appeared to agree that it was just the casing, rather than the camera, that had shifted, so photos were not affected — so far.
But one commenter pointed out that owners should take the phone back to the store to send a message to Apple that it should make better quality products.
The original poster on Macrumors said it could be an issue if anyone tried to resell their phone claiming “mint condition”.
The issue only appears to affect the smaller iPhone 6, not the iPhone 6 Plus.
