Dead Pixel question

They will but not yet.

 

I would bet money they won't replace your display for 1 dead pixel. Like most companies, they will prob tell you there needs to be a minimum amount

 

Nope. Apple are great to early adopters. I got my iPad switched out at an Apple Store with no hassle at all.

Book the appointment as soon as you can OP and don't take a refurb or repair as a good answer.

 

Call Applecare, they will call the store and have them hold an extra one for you and let you come into replace it, just had a friend do it. They replace it on the spot.

 

I just replaced the phone I picked up this morning. I thought it had two stuck pixels, but they actually turned out to be foreign matter under the glass. Regardless, I wandered in around 3:30, and wandered back out 15 minutes later with a perfect phone. They had a few in back that aren't in the normal boxes and don't have the cables/headphones with them, just for situations like mine.

 

Had some junk under my screen (metallic flecks) so I sent it back for a return. Was being offered one of the non-retail box iPhone 4s but considering I didn't even have the phone for more than 24 hours, I'd rather return it and just purchase a new one (in a sealed retail box) to get piece of mind. Hence, I refused and returned.

I know the ones they have on hand right now are new with a small part inside that was changed. To me, new is in a new box and not previously handled, so it was worth it for me to return and just purchase again due to this policy. I would have accepted one of the refurb box phones if this was past the 30 day return area (which is what they usually do), but for less than a day of owning a phone? No, thanks.
