Seems to be a lot of issues with display. dead pixels. Will wait and see what else comes out as more users get their phones.

They've sold millions of units and I've only heard of a few with dead pixels and the screen interlacing, my 5s is flawless for the record. If I didn't visit forums I wouldn't even know these problems exist, I'd just open your phone up buddy and if anythings wrong then return it. What do you have to lose?
7.03 just released fixed a lot if bugs. Gyro, Touch ID, janky icons. All fixed.

"Seems to be." Is your 5s having issues, specifically? From your original post, you state you don't even have yours in-hand yet.
It seems premature to return a device you haven't even inspected. The defect rate is far from 100%, and if you're going to go by the complaints on a forum where users specifically seek support for issues, then you'd never buy. I for one have no dead pixels or interlacing, or any of the other defects you mention. My 5s is absolutely great, and so are the ones my friends have purchased since.
I think you should at least look your 5s over when it arrives before declaring it unfit for use.
Why? What do you think will of happened within that few months? They won't make a hardware change, otherwise everybody who has a 5s will kick up a fuss. There are no problems as severe as 'Antenna-Gate' and the crappy anodizing problems from last year, I think you're exaggerating these so called problems more than needs be
Yes, you have to keep in mind that even if you've heard dozens of people report problems, that's out of MILLIONS of phones. You will never hear anything from the VAST majority of 5s owners because there's nothing wrong with their phones. Every product ever made has defects on some (usually very small) percentage of its units. That's what warranties are for. If you happen to get a defective device (and odds are that you won't) it will be replaced for free.
BTW
What did they do to remedy the infamous antenna problem? I wasn't interested in iPhones back then, so I remember hearing about the problem, but I didn't really follow the situation.
That's your choice, and I wish you the best of luck, but returning a phone you've never even seen because of problems you haven't experienced is not sensible.
The phone is absolute garbage, switch to Android while you can.
Here's hoping this helps loosen up supply for you guys that are still trying to get one.

That's going without a phone unnecessarily
People need to just enjoy the phone and stop making up problems b
