Yeah, I'm just going to return the phone for a full refund :/ when will the next, hopefully better batch, be ready?
2-3 weeks according to current shipping times on Apple.com, which is where I will be ordering from.

That's not too bad of a wait. It's a shame I have to even return this phone, but oh well...2-3 weeks according to current shipping times on Apple.com, which is where I will be ordering from.
My 6s+ gold might have a slight book spine effect down the right side. I honestly probably wouldn't have noticed it had I not been reading the forum and then started eyeing it real hard. It could even be my imagination lol. It's not worth returning what is otherwise a perfect phone. I don't have an store nearby so trying to exchange and risking getting one that might have a real issue just not worth it. Enjoying the phone, it's nice and fast.
Couple months down might not resolve the issue, just FYI

We know...
my 6s plus had this problem as well. Return for a full refund. Will wait a few months until Apple gets there **** together
call apple and have them send you a replacement.. don't be so accepting of it

The good news is that Apple - without me having to ask - said they would replace my iPhone 5, which is pretty much unusable, so that I'm not without a phone for the next couple of weeks. The replacement is on a FedEx vehicle for delivery today. They also waived the express shipping again. That's pretty awesome and my support experiences are usually pretty outstanding, which is why I always consider getting AppleCare, but rarely ever do for iPhones. Now I'll have a backup phone that I can mindlessly install iOS betas on and/or jailbreak without having to worry about messing up my daily driver.
Wow, that's pretty awesome! I wonder if they would do that with my now beat up iPhone 5s, provided I go for an exchange rather than a full refund.
I don't know, you could try. Although, the one they sent me seems very slow compared to my previous iPhone 5 and it has a faulty power button. The 5's had/have a recall for power buttons, but you'd think they would have sent me one that was affected by this or at least one that was already repaired. They're probably going to have to send me yet another one. It's getting ridiculous.

October 2016, when the iPhone 7 (presumably) launches.
If you're looking for problems, you're going to find them. If this is unacceptable to you, then you may want to just not buy an iPhone. Seriously.
Otherwise, you risk being one of those guys who exchanges their phone a dozen times or more. And not only will you be driving yourself nuts, but you'll be waisting the time of the sales staff, and reducing supply for people who understand that build variances happen and it's simply a part of manufacturing millions of the same product to satisfy demand.
Also what kinda gets me through it is the reality is that this time next year I'll have the new iPhone anyway, so what does it matter if I get a "perfect phone".
Don't give me the "Don't buy an iPhone" lecture because iPhone is the only phone I want to own right now.
There are problems I am willing to accept (like the very slightly wavy effect at the top of the display, that doesn't bug me too much), but when the display carries an uneven tint and there is an obvious pinch occurring at one end of the display, that's unacceptable for a phone that cost me so much.
If you have no issues, kindly exit this thread.
That's the difference between you and me. I bought my phone off contract to keep unlimited data and I plan on keeping the phone for at least 3-4 years, but if you're an every year upgrader, then I agree that this shouldn't be much of an issue for you.
