No matter what LCD or who its made by, there is always a chance of stuck pixels. It could be an AMOLED display, it happens to all LCDs. Its a common issue.

Now, in my 5 years of using iOS devices, I only had one device that had stuck pixels; an iPod touch 4th Gen. Otherwise, I have never run into another issue with stuck pixels on iOS.

If you get a device with them, you can always change or get a refund for said device if you like. Considering though how small the pixels are on modern displays, I think its going to be harder to see then on an older MacBook or iPhone.

It's very rare, don't worry. Go buy an iPhone and enjoy it.

The iPhone 6 has a display of 326 ppi and the iPhone 6 Plus has 401 ppi (ppi = pixels per square inch).

with a pixel density that small, you can have multiple dead pixels and never even know (your eye will never see them.

I haven't had broken pixels on any device in over 10 years. If you keep getting them, then you'll get them this time too :p

Yes there will be a percentage of phones that have this issue and other issues. Apple have set aside 4% of their stock minimum to quickly replace these on day one. Power up your phone and check it if you're concerned, then show it to an Apple rep, he'll take care of the rest.

What do you mean "any other easy way".

You will have to take a chance like anyone else.

I am a business man too but could find time to replace a defective phone. Get one and if it is defective use it for a while and then return for another. No device is absolutely perfect, not even an Apple device.
