I bought an iPhone 5 that cam pre-dinged upon opening it. I took it back to the apple store and they brought me a replacement which they said was triple anodized and double inspected by AppleCare. The genius opened the box and the first thing I noticed was a ding on the top with the aluminum showing through so he walked right back and grabbed another one. 3rd time was the charm. That one was flawless.
It's kinda sad that they are having all these quality issues. They have to be losing a LOT of money and certainly their good reputation for quality.
lol. did he really say triple anodized?
"Inspected by Applecare" is almost like saying "inspected by a nearsighted hamster" They are supposed to be "remanufactured", wherein only the motherboard is reused, but I have SERIOUS doubts about that. I am sure they are recycling parts, and the quality control is atrocious.
