I just got this yesterday. I haven't seen it before until last night. I'm going to contact applecare, I just don't know when. Would I get a refurb?

Try those? If they don't work, just go to the Apple store. The 'Genius' should replace it for you and give you a new (not refurbished) phone. I'd avoid AppleCare, only because I know they'd end up telling me the same thing.
P.S. Open those links on you phone.
Thanks for the links. I'll try it out. I hope it works. I would hate to have to replace the phone especially with my screen shield, side skins, and back skin on. lol.
When I have a black background I noticed 2 pixels stuck on white, what does that mean?
What black background are you using? It might just be that wallpaper or image has 2 white dots on it. I'm not sure if a stuck pixel can be white. Maybe.

Well I tried it out last night, today at work, and now. Still nothing. Damn red pixel won't change to anything else.
Well I must be extra lucky then because I had a stuck white pixel! I returned it and they had no problem swapping out a new one... I kinda wish I would've held on to it until I got a few major scratches though. The pixel didn't bother me and it would have been a guaranteed replacement.You would have to have all 3 (RGB) pixels in the same cluster to be stuck on to produce white (this would be extremely rare).![]()
There is some super-fast rainbow pattern thing you can run on it for 30 minutes in an attempt to "unstick" the pixel. Do a search for iPhone pixel repair or something like that. You might as well try it before returning it. Just don't watch it too long or you might have a seizure![]()

I have the same exact problem! It's really obnoxious, in going to bring my phone in tomorrow for an exchange
