I agree that six phones is a disgrace but the correct question is how can six phones all be defective and get by Apple quality control? Our difference is that i blame Apple and not the purchaser.
Got a tip for us?

Should have ordered promptly at 12am PST when they went on sale, then. For those who got defective iPhones, why should they have to wait longer than you to get one that works when they ordered before you? Not their fault that Apple botched a lot of iPhones. It is your own fault that you didn't preorder sooner, though.
That is opposite logic. First batch iphone would have a significant higher chance of issues then the next and so on ever batch gets better because they learn when to change cutting blades make the robots more percise etc..
This just happen to be an anomaly and something went wrong. I can assure you i was on the flawless list of iPhone but mines had damage all over
OP, take out that perfect gem. Look closely....wait....what is that? A microscopic fleck or scratch. Or worse, a dust particle! It's there.....just look. Look very, very closely. Oh my, it seems to be growing as you look at it. All hope is lost......it is no longer perfect. Wait....is that another scratch forming?? And another......and another????
Sorry, couldn't resist.

It sounds like the OP exchanged his iPhone for a new iPhone. The extra supply iPhones are just for warranty purpose.
For some reason I thought I had week 33...just looked and its a week 34 and came/still is flawless
What I meant was had they ordered right at 12AM PST, they would have for sure received it on the 21st (i.e. no delays)....even with others returning their phones. That was said in response to the person who said the OP was causing the delays in receiving their own phone.
My phone was exceptional except for a horrible home button. Hoping to return it tomorrow to Apple for a replacement. At this point I don't even want a "new in box one," just a white box replacement (so long as it works and cosmetically looks good).
Wow, some people have some real OCD issues.
Go through ten boxes to find the "perfect" iPhone. And then look at it in the dark and it has a tiny light leak in the back. Really?
It's a phone, you're not buying a house.

Honestly that's just messed up, especially to apple. They probably had to discard those phones because of the tiny tiny tiny tny tiny little mark you saw. I don't really know what to say but people are being really materialistic, in a month or two, you'll get scratches 10x bigger and probably won't bother you.

I'm in a similar situation...
Lined up three hours on launch day for my phone. First phone had blue dye all over the right side of the antenna band. Second phone had what appeared to be dried glue on the back between the glass and aluminum. Third phone had a small ding, but I decided to take it because I didn't want to look like a tool.
Fast forward a few days. Home button stopped functioning. Took it to the Apple Store. They replaced the phone, no questions asked. Replacement was in perfect cosmetic condition. Left the store happy. Went out to dinner a few hours later, and took a few photos. Photos all had this little white smudge thing in the same spot. Took a look at the lens and saw a little piece of dust inside the lens.
I think all the replacements I've gotten so far have been justified. It's getting horribly inconvenient! I just want a phone that works...
