iPhone manufactured defect

Apple moved the buttons on the 4S. Its not a defect.

The 4S has the same button placement as the Verizon model. The + is meant to be on the top. These are wrong.

Exactly why I'm waiting for the hype to die down...I learned the hard way after x amount of returns on my ipad 2 due to very poor quality control with the initial runs...

I would keep it, it makes your iPhone unique!

You are looking at wrong

My guess is that you can sell it for more money than other 4S' when the next iPhone comes since this is almost one-of-a-kind

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

Had to check my wife's too. I hope the OP gets a new replacement soon.

This thread interested me because my buttons are not lining up in my otterbox like they were with the ip4. The power button is off as well as the mute switch.

Got to love those Chinese factories

My first 4s had a crooked home button then the second ones sim card wouldn't sit flush with the aluminum bezel...third one is the charm

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

Is there anything else wrong with the phone? If not, just hold on to it until you want to get a new one (let's say it get scratched up within the next couple of months or you want to sell before the next iPhone hits). That's generally what I do when I get something like this, my iPhone 4 home button wouldn't work unless you pressed it just right, lived with it like that until a month ago and swapped it. Then the refurb I got I never took the plastic off and sold it and used that money to pay for my 4s.
