Glad to see this thread
I for one, am glad someone started this thread. There are already so many posts about the flaking and dead pixels and such. People need to know that not every phone left the factory blemished.
I pre-ordered through Apple within 15 minutes of the start. The phone I received was produced in week 37. I got a black 16gb for Sprint (stuck paying full price since I had no upgrades on my plan yet). Since I had to pay full price I inspected mine pretty closely. I have not found a single flaw anywhere.
My only complaint would be the lousy battery life on the first day. Turns out this was pretty simple to fix. After restoring my backup I found that everything was turned on. LTE as well as notifications for every app I had were turned on. In my case I have no LTE coverage so I turned that off as well as all the notifications that I never use. My son and I had to work damn hard for the last 13 hours to kill my new phone. Him playing games and me watching Youtube videos. I can most definitely live with that. My 4S would have been dead in less than 7 hours with that kind of abuse.
