AT&T Next Damage

[Jarrahammer]

Hello, I wanted everyone's opinion on whether or not the damage on my iPhone would be unacceptable for a trade in for the Next program. I do not want to turn it in and be charged $300 without warning. Here are the pics: (http://imgur.com/a/ncCzI). It is hardly noticeable except at a certain angle, and everything else is absolutely flawless. I'm not sure if I should repair it or not, but I set up a genius bar appointment to see what they can do. Since the screen is flawless I wonder what they can do.

Anyways, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, especially if you have experience with the Next trade in.

you should be fine. it doesnt look like a crack more like a scuff

There is a very small chip as shown in the third picture, but it really is not obvious during regular use. I just want a guarantee that this is fine, but at the same time I feel that if I pointed this out to an ATT employee they would charge me.

oh, i didn't see all the pictures. yea. i see that chip. not sure now. see if apple will replace the display under warranty since it doesnt look like a spiderweb crack.

Yeah, I'm hoping the Genius Bar can help me out but I wont cause a fit. I am definitely going to buy better cases if I plan to stay on these yearly upgrade plans.

AT&T is ridiculously picky with Next trade ins. Thats the main reason why I left AT&T Next for the Apple Upgrade Program. Apple is a little easier going with 'wear and tear'. AT&T wants a pristine phone. I had a small knick in the aluminum of my iPhone 6 and AT&T gave me such a hard time about it. I eventually said screw it and sold it 3rd party and just paid AT&T off.

I don't think you will know until you trade it. Wouldn't mention it.

I use Apples silicon case. Has dropped several times on cement, tile etc. No damage.

I like Next. Interest free rental and for now I want a new iphone each year.

I don't think it will be a problem.
It's very minor.

Thank you for the comments everyone. I just returned from the Apple Store where they replaced the screen for free no questions asked! Love their customer service.

Luckily I resolved it. I am thinking of getting that case too, I like the look.
