Normally I would totally agree, but how does that work with the X? I mean, do the Apple Stores reserve a stock of these to replace defective ones, or do you have to wait 4-6 weeks for one to 'become available' like a brand new buyer would have to do?
Got a tip for us?

"Hardware defect"
So this is Samsung's fault, right?
I'm SURE! They are hacking X's to discredit the competition ;-)
What's that old saying? Beggars can't be choosers?
It could be Apple, it could be Samsung; heck, it's technology, there will always be a few bugs.
Just remember, this is the price of early adoption (and being a slave to the consumerist mindset). But I hope ya'll get your phones fixed. I do.

And $50K cars have problems sometimes to... as do $500K houses. This is why there are warranties. Apple has great service and will take care of the phones with issues, so not even sure why this is big news.
I missed where it was determined this was a display defect? It could equally be caused by what is driving the display I would expect. It really matters not... its a few phones with defects and Apple will replace them. I don't see the reason why this is taking up so much MR home page space.
Odd that your green line extends off the display onto the bezel at the bottom left. Wonder how that happened??????
How is your green line in the bezel?
I would like to point out that it doesn't work like this all over the world. I live in Central Europe and here your only options with a defect would be to send it in to have it repaired (and be without a phone for a week or two, or maybe even longer), or in some cases they might let you return it and wait to buy a new one (which here most stores won't have them until mid December).
Stop trying to blame the supplier. We don't even know what the cause of the issue is. Just because Samsung manufactured the screen, they did so based on Apple's design.
I seldom read such a pile of nonsense. If someone chooses not to buy a beta product then it means he can't afford it? Many of us could well afford this product, but chose not to buy exactly because it was obvious it would have had a number of issues, and we said it before the release so this is not a surprise at all. There is a reason why it wasn't released in September, and it's that they didn't have it ready by then, so it's clear they had to rush at the end, and when you do things in a rush mistakes and error will surface over time. Next year most of these will be solved and people who chose to wait will be rewarded having a more refined product.
I am assuming it just depends on the supply on a given day. I have heard some people going in and getting replacements.
Well you also have to keep in mind that in this day and age problems get aired fast and furiously by a vocal few. Most people probably have no problems. Like me, ahem.
Was he pissed when he oversaw the iPhone 4 and its poor antenna design, or the wifi that got greyed out in those models due to poor internal design? I bet you're one of those people who remember everything he touched being golden.What's next? Multiple Face Id failure??? This is embarrassing... Steve would be really pissed! Guys at apple! You should really do better than this. Shall I get a Honor/Huawei device instead of my iPhone?
It's not the OLED display. The display shows a green line indicates the signal it receives for that particular pixel array is probably corrupted. My guess is a RAM defect or loose contact.
Way to put a positive spin on your defective $1200 device. Keep your chin up there little guy. I'm sure Uncle Tim will make it allll better. Oh by the way. Don't try to use if it gets too cold too. Seems to not like that either. Maybe a fur lined phone case for Christmas.........
Some perspective for those who feel like the X issues are a reason to consider Android:
A co-worker of mine, fiercely pro-Android, had a Note 5 last year. Upgraded to the infamous Note 7 on Sprint. Got a green vertical line. Had to work with Sprint to get it replaced. Then the whole recall happened. Had to work with his carrier again to get an S7. That developed microphone problems. Had to work with his carrier AGAIN to replace the S7. Twice.
Now he has a Note 8. No problems so far.
Moral of the story: the grass is always greener.

The Genius Bar has always (IIRC) had a separate stock of replacement iPhones to replace defects with. I can't recall an iPhone launch where that wasn't the case.
Yep, because Apple aren't talented enough to make their own hardware"Hardware defect"

Sorry, but that looks photoshopped. Look at the top of the green line closely. It goes up over the notch.
Usually in the first 2 weeks they give users a new one, but after that it's a refurbished.
