Hello Macrumors,
I bought a release day iPhone 5 from my friend (traded an iPhone 4, Asus Tablet and $60), I just noticed today that there is dust under the camera lens, as well as backlight bleeding in the upper right corner. I have attached images of both problems, my question is, would Apple see this as a reason to replace? This does not have AppleCare+, so the phone support is out, is there anyway to still get it for free, and also, the phone was dropped coming out of the box on Sept 21st (I remember him texting me saying that the suction had caused it to come out) Would this affect them replacing it, I don't think that the two problems are related? Also, I want to know if you think its worth replacing it too?
