If the phone is brand new, bring it in to the Apple store. If they won't replace it, threaten to just return it outright.
Yes, just got a replacement through Apple because of this. Get a magnifying glass and makes sure its not something on top of the glass. You should be able to see it much more clearly with a magnifying glass as well.Is it covered under one year warranty?
Also, how can I tell if it's just one? It might be two.
Was there something wrong with the thread you already started on the exact same topic 15 minutes ago?
I'm sorry I didn't know I thought you for different Q's you start diff threads

That being said, does anyone know if Apple will change it out after I come back from overseas?
I will be be back in two months and a week.

You've got great vision if you can see one pixel..
Guess I have great vision also since I saw a dead pixel on my i4.
Dude, it's pretty much the exact same question from the exact same problem.
Had a refurbished iPad 2 replaced due to one dead pixel without problems a couple of months ago. The Genius asked me if I would be worried that the dead pixels "might spread" - with a serious expression on my face I said yes and walked out with a brand new iPad!

That genius should have been fired on the spot. There is a certain professionalism that should be expected of Geniuses, and belittling customers is way over the line.
A quick FAQ for returning NEW iphones:
1. If the phone has been purchased within 30 days, you can exhange it for practially any reason, there is no issue here and you do NOT need a genius bar appointment to do so.
2. If your replacement came from a white box, you can no longer return the phone as new within the 30 days (for subsequent issues), you now must make a genius bar appointment and do it that way.
3. If you need to return your phone which you purchased within 30 days make sure you bring your retail box and accessories with you, you will get a new unopened box as a replacement - I personally would not accept a white box phone within the 30 days do to my FAQ #2.
As he said above, and yes they do have certain criteria for dead pixels, from iPhones and iPads, to MacBooks, and iMacs. If it is within warranty and AppleCare then book a Genius appointment, and they should be able to rectify the issue.
Be aware that if the dead pixel is affecting your usage (in the middle of the display) then it will be replaced straight away, but if it's to the side or edge of the display, then other rules/restrictions come into play.
Basically, if you're not happy, take it to your nearest Apple Service Centre and they'll sort it for you
