Here we are, in 2019, with the glass and the LCD having been fused as one unit for years, and people still make this claim that there is some sort of "risk". Now, if there was dust incursion when they were fused, then yes, it might be a problem in the replacement part, but the act of replacing the screen does not introduce dust.
Got a tip for us?

There is. As others have already noted, you play the gambling game of having dust appear under the replacement display that’s replaced to the original. There’s been numerous threads of others who have had their original displays replaced with one speck of dust, then they find _more_ dust/debris under the replacement display, which turns to into the exchange game. The point being was and still is, it’s not the dust that appears from the store conditions, you just don’t know if the replacement display will have any type of dust already embedded. Those are two things that are mutually exclusive perhaps your conflating.

I will ask them if they can just swap it out under my warranty so I can go in an out.
And by no means am I trying to single you out, but you’re a great example of what I’m referring about to the above member, many times in the past, you have switched out displays that you found dust/debris under the display, and then to find out that the replacement display also had dust debris under it, then you continue to make these exchanges and it’s a never ending problem for yourself with the exchange game. Hopefully you do find a display that is what you’re looking for, but being you quoted me, I felt the need to point this out, based off your extensive thread history on this very subject.
[Also/related, if someone finds ‘one’ speck of dust under their display and if they can overlook it, my best advice would be to do exactly that, *overlook it*. Because exchanging your devices over and over again, just allows for more displays that won’t be nearly as good as your first one in some cases.]

Apple is a time waster they told me a screen replacement two hrs later they tell we tried a screen replacement and they didn’t have a replacement phone and told me go to next Apple store and they have it in stock.
The good part they have my phone reserved under my name at that Apple store.
