I have a bent iphone 5 ?

To my horror I too have the bend in the same place as everyone else!

I know for a fact that I have not bent it. I know this because I have straightened it!....Yes...I straightened it!

The force that was required to bend the chassis back straight would definately have given me a bruse on my butt!

You may all flame me for doing what I did, but at the end of the day I now have a straight chassis!

There is a small bezel around the glass screen. I put some clear tape over the area around the volume buttons so not to scratch the chassis bezel. I then took a 10mm square SS bar and but the edge of the bezel on the edge of the bar. Nothing is in contact with the glass screen! Use conciderable force and press down at each end of the chassis at the corners in line with the supported edge to bend the chassis back to straight. The deflection was approx 3-4mm to gain a straight chassis...

If it all goes wrong, you will still need to shell out for a repair broken or not! I took the risk and it paid off for me...its your call, I can only confirm that it is possible!

I am also facing the same problem, my phone is bend starting from the volume button.....apple better rectify this issue!!!

Give them $269 and they will!

same issue. new phone bent at volume button. I'm sure it effects the sound quality.

Any Apple warranty repairs Been had without the £££?

I recently noticed my phone was warping on the left side near the volume buttons. Yesterday my phone also started shutting off for no apparent reason. I did an online search and came across this thread. I read every post/reply and used the link that someone posted for Apple support online chat. I chatted with a gentleman named Eric, he had me do a few things that I thought was irrelevant to my problem but I was wrong, Eric sent a diagnostic test to my phone and discovered I had a bad battery which is covered by Apple. He gave me a case number and made an appointment for me for the 'genius bar'. I was still skeptical based on everything I read here. When I got to the store, they pulled up my case number, did another diagnostic test and confirmed the bad battery was the cause of my phone being warped and they replaced my iphone with a NEW iphone right there on the spot. Just wanted to share a positive outcome, for some this may come as a little too late but for future reference this may help someone.

You mean they cionfirmed it had a bad battery and they replaced the iPhone.

A bad battery did not cause it to warp.

Chris, yes they confirmed twice that it was a bad battery and that the battery was causing the warp so they replaced the iPhone. They said I needed to get it replaced because eventually the battery would explode in the phone.

For me, Brand new Iphone 5s bent - i didn't read this forum earlier i bought. Planning to visit istore tomorrow to replace it as it has warranty.

They need to agree to it, as even my iphone has not even finished a month after unboxing.

I got my New Iphone 5S - now

Better not to hesitate rather visiting the istore - they replaced it with new one, after giving much explanation from our side.

User's problem needs to be known to apple to consider the facts raised by us.

with warranty - replaced with new iphone 5s - Big thanks for this forum.

Can they send me a new phone and is there something easy to use to bend my iPhone 5s back in place

For me the bent keeps on getting worse and soon my screen will come off and if that case puts too much pressure on the battery it could explode.
