I received my 4s only to realize the volume buttons were in the wrong spots. Anyone else have this issue?

Wow! Seems to be a few quality control issues this year. Is this the first time another factory apart from Foxconn has produced IPhones?

I'm getting a White 4s next week I just hope there is no problems for myself or anymore people here!!
 
Would this be reason enough to ask for a replacement? I know it seems a little picky, but I would like it to be the correct way haha

I love apple but I've always had quality control issues with every product I bought from them. this year my wall charger is shot.
 
Setup a appointment at a Apple genius bar. 100% chance they will replace your iPhone. This is a manufacturing defect and it clearly states in the warranty that they will replace your iPhone.
 
I actually laughed when I saw this. It is so ironic that you have a + and - switched on the iphone which is made by a company that always perfect in everything to do. 😀

When paying this much for a product, it should be perfect. However, I don't blame them for the mistake. Millions of iPhones made by under payed over worked employees, means mistakes are bound to happen. But that's what a warranty is for. 😀

You paid $650 for the thing. You should demand a replacement even if the phone just smells funny (ok, slight hyperbole.)

But switched volume buttons is without a doubt replacement-worthy.

Agreed. This isn't even debatable in my book. Take it back.
People even take their phones back because it "rattles" (and I'm not even sure if this is being picky).

Wow that is something! That made me check mine. I would definitely return it and get it swapped out.
