iPhone 5 screen light leak :(

Call Apple and let them know, then set up an Appt at the Genius bar. Going in without an appt today would be like walking into the pits of hell. Also make sure you're getting a brand new phone, and not a refurbished 5 when they replace it. Lightleaks = Automatic Replacement at Apple.

Will it fix itself?

I feel your pain this happend to me with a Ipod touch. It was noticed after installing my zagg.

I have the same thing, same spot. Not sure if I want to deal with it now though

They generally set aside phones for replacements. Not sure if you will get a brand new retail box one or the ones that come in the little black plastic box.

Same thing, but I think I'm gonna wait until the demand dies down a bit before I do anything about it. It'll give me a chance to see how well the thing holds up without a case.

same thing, same spot.

So, let's figure out if this is model/size/color specific, shall we?

Mine is a 64gb Black AT&T model.


My friend with a black 16gb sprint model says he doesn't have any light leaks.

My wife's 32GB black AT&T has the same issue

I have a different light issue. I can see light coming thru in a crevice between the screen and the metal band, right below the sleep/wake button. Anyone else see that?

Can it fix itself?

i dont suppose there's any chance these leaks will go away? maybe glue needs to dry? that probably doesn't make any sense in this case, huh?

Also wondering if time will fix it

It is same with me. I bought it on 22 Saturday, got it replaced today. But still second replaced set has same issue.

Let me know if you are able to get the replace and correct handset.

Light leak?

Is the top of the lock screen suppose to be look like this? Ie. gray band in pictures... Seems strange.

I have an iPhone 5 64GB White.

If we are to believe that, the glue still hasn't dried on my iPad 3 which I got on release day. lol
