FaceTime camera appears off-center

I noticed today that on my iPhone 6 the FaceTime camera on the front appears way off-center. I've attached a photo, but it's a little hard to see. It doesn't seem to interfere with the camera, but I don't really know that without a comparison and I haven't seen any other iPhone 6 in person to compare how it looks. Should I

take this in to have looked at?

I had the same issue, and just as severe, with my first iPhone 6. Made a genius bar appointment to have it looked at and they replaced the phone hassle free. However, only 6 days into my replacement phone I'm starting to see a hairline shift already in the FaceTime camera again. If the shift gets worse I will be bringing it back to apple again. Glad I am not the only one with this issue. Apple team in Wayne, NJ told me my problem was the first of it's kind.

Im in the completely same boat here. I too got a launch day phone and noticed the camera was not centered. Took it to the apple store, and they replaced it hassle free. Now my new replacement thats only about a week old, is starting to move too. Im seeing the hairline crescent shape starting. This is ********. Its going back again today. They better replace it again.

I had the exact same problem with my iphone 6 128gb. I first noticed it about 3-4 weeks ago and have been watching it. It started out as a small sliver of white around the front facing camera but now it takes up about 1/3 of the opening. It looks like a crescent moon. I called Apple last night and they're overnighting me a replacement iphone 6. I'm hoping the replacement iphone will not have the same problem! I'll report back later.

I went back with my replacement phone that did the same thing. I couldn't believe it. The "genius" said it was a defect again and replaced it again. So now im on my third iPhone 6, and now this one has a funky home button. I just cant win. This one is going back too now. And last time, the genius asked me to wipe my phone before he grabbed a new one. Ended up not having a replacement in stock, and unless I wanted to wait 3 days, I had to drive an hour out of my way to another store to get one. Then had to wait another 45 minutes at the next store for them to get up to speed before they got my replacement out of the back. What a cluster apple has with these retail stores. So unorganized its silly. Man I hate going in there.

Not whatsoever would they EVER do that. They are the can't-do people of the world. I have never met a bigger bunch of hater little hipsters in one location ever, than in any apple store. They love to say no and put you through the ringer over minor things. I dread the moments that I have to enter those places and talk to those so-called genius people. What a load.
