The only thing I care about with my iPhone, or any device with a screen, is even coloring. I don't care if its warm or cool, but it just has to be even.

I guess as far as condition I'm a 'perfect dude'. I rarely buy used Apple products on eBay. I prefer to go to the sellers house then I can walk away. I rarely buy used but...

Gotta love the smashed but 'this doesn't affect usage' eBay sellers... with bids. NOPE!

As far as buying new I have never had an issue.
 
That'd be "anal retentive."
OCD is me having to repeatedly correct everyone when they misuse "OCD" because I'm compelled to and can't help it. :D

Like I said - self-diagnosed OCD. Compare how many times people here refer to their "OCD" as opposed to their "anal retentiveness."
 
FWIW, I've not ever returned a phone for any reason as they have all been fine IMHO. This since my first mobile back in '98. So I guess I must not be the "perfect" dude guy. I do take very good care of my stuff tho.

I think some are just content with their phone working as it normally should and they don't forsee finding or looking for imperfections. You're just one of the millions of people that purchased a phone and use it normally every day.
 
I once had the store manager go through at least 3 iPhone 3GS boxes to get a good screen. After opening the three boxes, he gave up and said to wait for a new batch. All the screens were really faded and were from the same bad batch.

Looking back, I wasted so much time and energy on something I would have gotten used to. I've overcome my craziness and YOU can too. Join me at the next Apple Anonymous meeting....it could change your life.

I feel empowered, thank you for sharing your experience on how to overcome an obsession and live a positive life.
We meet again next Wednesday at 7pm.
Bring donuts :D
 
What I mean by “perfect dude”?

Return the iphone to apple store again and again for unlimited “imperfect” reasons

Feel bad when the phone becomes imperfect like the skin peel off or drop the phone, or even the case is damaged.

Feel bad not using the latest iphone
I was once. Got over it and stopped worrying when I realized just how pathetic it is to fuss so much over a device.
