Take it in and show them what's happening. If they really see the headphone ring to be tight, it could just be at the edge of its max metal tolerance. They should swap it out for you with a white box.

A lot of Best Buys seem to be scheduled to get their shipments this week. Probably won't be more than a few days.

If you take it to Apple store, you can set up a genius appointment and they will replace it with a replacement unit so that shouldn't be an issue if they find any issues with the original.

what is a white box?

what is a white box?

Generally Genius Bar replacement units are white box only meaning they only replace the phone. Does not include other accessories.

Do I have to give them my box? Is the device brand new?

 

[Shadowbech]

You don't need the give them anything. Just your defective phone. At this point, replacement unit will be brand new.

Great! Do I even need apple care for this?

No, as the phones comes with a standard 1 year warranty, you should be covered. I'd say just take your receipt just in case. If they need to see the date of purchase.

I do have apple care this won't affect anything say something occurs to my device?

You mean applecare +? No it shouldn't as you didn't cause any damage to the device.

No, if the manufacturing tolerances are too tight, thats a manufacturing or assembly issue. So your warranty will cover that. You won't need to invoke AC+.

No it does not affect anything on your applecare. Does best buy offer any 1 to 1 for the first month? I'd definitely take the whole box back to best buy to change the whole thing if they do. At least the serial number would match the box I have and it's guaranteed to be a new set

yeah they do for 14 days but who knows when they'll get a new one

I'd go back and raise the issue so that they'll give me a call when they're able to change. It'll save me the thought that I spent so much money to get a refurbished product (not likely for such a new product but I'll still keep thinking about it). If you do get a 1 to 1, be sure to transfer the applecare accordingly.

That's just my opinion anyway. Just ask yourself if you'll end up asking in the forums about how to identity or find out if your phone is a refurbished device (we won't be able to tell, btw). If not, just get it replaced with a genius appointment.
