Yup, he told that the customers who had preordered these phones where unhappy but took the phones anyway with apple care...
I assume he wasn't allowed to open the other ones because they want to sell the other phones sealed so that they can prove that the scratches are not from the employes.

He personally didn't unpack 30 but I think he said that they unpacked 30 between his friends and him.
8 or 30 doesn't really matter, he couldn't get a mint one, which proves that there is a major screw up happening.
I hope it's a production issue not a design issue.
Working more then 60+ hours a week for $2.00 an hour id probably do the same
You know that almost any device you use is being made under these circumstances... It's not just apple... (not trying to defend apple, they could make the first step)

Sorry you were right, 30 phones indeed!
He tweeted that none of these were perfect! He is going to give an interview to the "bild" newspaper (a boulevard newspaper).
Anybody defending this is ridiculous. Your phone will look like you've used it for months in a few hours. No excuses, this sucks.
EVERYONE knew it was anodized finish over aluminum!
Guess people are not as smart as I thought!
We just hoped it would last two days instead of one. Foolish of us, I know.
This is gonna be huge for Apple
Really hope it is, they should make them with top quality because of the TOP price, and their ULTRA TOP revenues.
Agree, but this is where apples obsession with weight saving blows up in their face. Should have increased the weight and made it durable. I care very little for 5% more weight vrs it looking like crap after a month cause its all scratched up.
Where? Which one? Looks very much like the Apple 4 bumper, hard plasix center, soft outer? which combined with a power support films, has treated me good for 2 years now. The feel has really grown on me? Other colors?
If you paid $900 each, you ARE nuts!
Yup, $899 for 32gig here in Australia at the Apple store. $999 for 64 gig, $799 for 16 gig.
Mine is white. I will be getting it later today when it arrives. We should sticky one of these threads for defects and such. I will examine mine, and post pics if i find something.
I guess what I hear about the kids not getting a good education is really true! Oh well, as long as the unions are happy . . . .
let the OCD posts begin!
Apple cant market the way they do on design and quality and have things like this happen.
This is not OCD but acceptable observations and complaints.
I really hope my phone does not do this nor will I accept it.

I'm still waiting for the yellow screen OCD threads
Great, I have a black one coming for me and a white one for my wife. I'll will not be pleased if the quality is poor. I don't want a white one.
In this article is also a white iphone with a dent:
