When they built the phone

The screen is sealed. Dust just can't appear outta nowhere. That's what I read on ifix it.

And your pic doesn't look like dust imo. My phone has the gap. My gfs year old has the gap and no screen protector with no dust.
this is the new pic

Looks like dust. Just not saying it's from the gap.

I just took my case off for the first time in 2 weeks. It's so damn dusty from my pocket. Opened a white screen. Full brightness. No dust.

Gfs iPhone 6S. No screen prot. Thing is scratched to high heavens. No dust. Same gap. Can fit half a paper in it.

It's normal for the gap. Dust. No.

will apple replace the iPhone since the dust is under the screen
 
when the apple guy installed a temper glass on mine there was no dust under screen after weeks of use the dust came
dust just can't appear. The screen is sealed. I think its actually impossible for dust to get inside not from the factory. You probably never noticed it.
[doublepost=1475303845][/doublepost]If any dust gets inside the phone from this gap, it'll go somewhere else in the phone. The screen is sealed shut. Nothing is getting in or out.

Only dust can get in when they build the phones.
 
ill upload a photo another time but for now I'm out. The gap is normal. Tested a few display models, they had it. Mine has it. And so on.

Did Apple confirm this wasn't part of the design? Has this 'defect' as you say been confirmed a flaw? What about the iPhones that have been subjected to water with this gap? All the Plus variants I have seen, have this. There have been zero reports on this being a defect. Where is your evidence saying otherwise?
[doublepost=1475247193][/doublepost]

The gap has been reported on the Plus model and I contacted Apple Care, they stated it's not been reported as an issue if the iPhone has not been subjected to water damage. What's considered widespread? Do you have numbers/citations to prove this or are you going by anecdotal threads?

Get real dude.

I think you need to get real. Lol.
Relentless power makes very valid arguments. With any solid (and in san SOLID) non-anecdotal evidence you're simply spreading alarmist idea.
Now I'm not saying I disagree with you, however as mentioned ... all heresay for now. Why not go to apple directly and ask them?

Because this is nonsense. A gap is a part of design? To collect dust and dirt? Just stop people.
 
Did you design the phone? iPhone engineer? All heresay without evidence. Solid evidence.

I don't have to go to moon to know that is not made out of blue cheese. Morover the demo units i played around on friday had no gaps of any kind anywhere.

Oh yeah there's your solid non-anecdotal evidence.

Ok tell you what. If this is really a concern then go to a store and replace it. Jesus.
