I dropped my iPhone and something weird appeared on it. It's very small and less than a centimetre. I thought it was a crack but if I run my finger over it, there's no crack. It's only visible in daylight and there's no effect on what's on the screen so is it glue leaking or something? It looks like tiny dots close up, inside the screen. It didn't come out clearly in the picture but I've attached it anyway.

Please submit a MUCH higher res, macro photo; nothing can be surmised from that one. Thanks :)

Yeah, no offense to you, but I agree with this... The picture looks sort of like it was taken with an iPad 2 or iPod touch 4th gen, those cameras will not suffice for reproducing details in close up scenarios like this.
 
It's even started to fade.

It might be a rubber gasket or seal that's between the glass and metal, that was pushed out from the drop. It might be fading because it's slowly working its way back into place.
