iPhone 5 screen - died after 2.5 hours

[khuypen]

I got my iphone 5 this morning. It had no charge, so I charged it on my Mac. Got it activated and finished charging. In the mean time, my service on ATT ended as I activated a VZ phone. I pick up the iphone 5, and hold the home button to bring up Siri since i had never used it. I do that and it brings up Siri, the screen fades to black and no longer functions. The iPhone is still on.

I tried a hard reset and restored the iphone to factory settings to no avail.

Now i am hoping that i can get a replacement at the Apple Store.

This iPhone experience has not been very good this time around. For the time i did get to the screen and use it while setting up, it seems nice.

Under normal circumstances, getting a "lemon" is annoying, but not a big deal... It happens.

BUT, for this phone. It is a disaster cuz you have to wait weeks to get it replaced. They should have a small reserve stock for the "lemon" iPhones IMO.

Hopefully you can get a replacement fast and with no problems. Good luck
