I received my 64gb black pre-order from apple.com.
Didn't open it only because it was created by mistake (new line).
I went to Apple Store today and told the guy that I want to do a return and buy it back on full retail price. For some reason, it doesn't process a complete return, it pops a message transaction failed. He tried to call apple.com hotline but the support on the phone knows less than what we know by apple's policy plus giving us wrong infos about the ETF. He went to his manager for the 3rd time and he know that the apple support is no help for them at all. He then went at the back and excuse himself and came back with a new one and told me just mail the one I received and he'll let me buy the one on his hand. Just so happen the shipment just came
I paid for it and added Apple Care+ and asked for in house Verizon Rep, eventhough I know I wouldn't have a problem doing it by myself online, but I wanna be on the safe side for my UDP. That's the time I opened the iPhone and was glad that I don't see any visible scuffs or fading paint on the bezel. Right then I went to Cellairis and got myself a case and had them install a screen protector. I am sad for those who have issues with phone, I guess it's not at all by batch it could be random in a batch. who knows! But they would double their QC I guess with this issue. if you order it with apple.com you will receive a good customer service and they will let you return the iphone and exchange until you get your satisfaction.
