Just opened my white and silver 5 and its got 2 dings in the aluminium (which I can forgive) and a fairly long curved scratch in the glass (which I cannot forgive). Good old Foxconn strikes again.....I'm not going to bother getting a replacement.

Good luck everyone else.
 
Not only myself but many others would like to see pictures if you dont mind.

Why not get a replacement?
 
Sorry guys, I can't be bothered to unbox it and take pics. After all the hype about the build quality I'm pretty disgusted with apple.
 
I'll be pissed if that happened to me. But how the hell do you prove that the marks are from manufacturing if this happens? Being there is no employee to witness the box being opened when you get one shipped.

Cuz there's a no-questions-asked return policy within 30 days.

You're really coming off as brash and uneducated.

It was probably damaged during shipping not during assembly. Apple would never pass inspection with these defects which is done digitally with laser mapping.

Either way its your loss.
 
That sucks but you know what sucks more? Starting a thread about issues like this and not posting pics.

Didn't you have to unbox it to see your phone in the first place...?
