Hi All,

I was one of the lucky ones who got their iPhone on launch day, was flawless except for 1 dead/hot pixel - that turned into to more than 1 dead/hot pixels so couldn't ignore it any longer so called and got a replacement, which arrived yesterday .... wished I hadn't

This is a week 37 and:

Home button not working
Chipped black exterior
Screen no longer jet black

Question I have is with no access to an Apple store to check - Those with black iPhone 5s are your screens jet black i.e. when locked you cannot see the screen edge to edge if that makes sense ? My original one was totally jet black when off this one is kind of off black and has a light grey frame around it and then you get the black phone edge ... kind of looks cheap :eek:

There is no correlation between faulty phones and batch numbers, week numbers or whatever.
