I gotta say...I'm getting a little fed up with Apple at the moment. I'm usually good with stuff like this, but when I get into 1,2,3 and now a 4th replacement, I begin to get annoyed.
1st- Had the creek, however that turned out to be a non event as the phone just died after using it for 3 weeks. Complete flatline with a black screen and Apple was not able to turn it back on so they replaced it.
2nd- Was great...no creeks, no outer cosmetic issues, and a nice white screen. Turns out it had a blue tooth issue and wouldn't connect to my car, 2 Hard re-sets, and trying any other phone with it connecting led me back to Apple for a 3 replacement.
3rd- Side of the phone where the screen connects to the housing felt like sand paper, an issue that down the line could wreck havoc as the screen wasn't sitting properly in the housing.
4th and current- Phone was fine the last 2 days, screen is white, non cosmetic issues, everything looked to be fine and than tonight the pop or creek or whatever we would call it is here on this phone. I gotta say this has to be an adhesive issue that rears it's ugly head oncd the phone begins getting heated from use and charging, honestly I'm effin pissed!!! I don't want to rant, but come on Apple, this is an almost $1,500 phone and when all is said and done this is a problem that shouldn't exist...sorry but I'm not a happy customer right now.
I may not go for round 5...I may just speak to a manager tomorrow and return the X and grab an 8plus and call it a year.
Not to mention nobody can get my belkin glass screen protector on with out a single fingerprint smudge, just annoyed from every angle as I really do like the phone!
