I have the LED ON so it will flash when receiving text messages, it works when I call comes in?
It does NOT work--On the wifes 6+ it works perfect, seems silly to take it back for that but looks like I may have to. Any one else having issue with it?

So this year, it's all about VIBRATE-GATE and PIXEL-GATE?
don't forget heatgate
Dead pixel on my 6+ but I'm going to leave it. It's down the bottom where the dock/keyboard/status bars would normally be and it's so tiny and unnoticeable that I had to really search to find it. Not worth the hassle of replacing for a unit that could have even more problems
You were able to walk in and get a white box replacement with no appointment? Maybe I'll swing by tomorrow.
Check out the apps to help try to release a stuck pixel. Look on the app store. Try it out. Sometimes they work.
Sorry for the late reply. Yup! Just showed one of the associates my phone and they referred me to a tech specialist and went through with the replacement.
White box replacement refers to the thin white box they keep the replacement iPhones in. They just contain the phone; no charger, lightning cable, or EarPods.
Only issue I am having is with calls and voicemail. I think it is just a Verizon problem right now though. Was working earlier....2 hours ago it started happening....
Just came back from Apple store replacement has white spot/dead pixel annoying I hate this exchanging game.
Hm, I've got 2 stuck/dead pixels in slo-mo mode ONLY! I don't know what to do.. Photo camera, no dead/stuck pixels, normal video camera mode, nothing, but as soon as I turn on slo-mo mode, I see 2 white dead/stuck pixels while recording and also in the video.. :/ whyyyyyyy!!!! otherweise I'm really happy with the device (iPhone 6 64GB)
I have slightly uneven backlight at the top of the screen. Will probably try to swap out but hate the risk of dead pixels more. I'll see how it sits with me over the weekend!
Where did you purchase your phone?
If you purchase online/instore make sure you send it back under the 14 days return
period you will recieve a brand new sealed phone.
After the 14 days return you will get white box replacement units.
If I'm going to exchange the iPhone 6 online, how long will it take to get the new one? Is it the same amount of time like buying a new one? Shipping time for a new iPhone is 3-4 weeks now.. :/ does it mean, it will also take 3-4 weaks to exchange mine? And will I be able to use the "old iPhone" till I get my exchanged one?
Mine replacement says 15th-20th October. I really hope it doesn't take that long.
A courier will contact you and arrange a collection date for your old phone.
Picked up my 6 Plus last night, set it all up and then the home button and touch ID started failing. The Apple website suggested a restore, so tried that and it kept getting stuck half way through in DFU etc.
Went back to an Apple Store this morning, terrible service but eventually they replaced the phone.
