Treated Different with A used iPhone?

[chasonstone]

You didn't say this? I'm confused.

OP did say it was as loud as an alarm clock. Another member commented this:

My home button has gotten quite loud, which is surprising because I do not jsut it much (I use 3D touch everywhere I can). I wouldn't say it's intolerable, but in a quiet room its clear that I am getting on my phone. I am otherwise happy and so I won't be expecting a replacement until something more serious arises.

And it was mistaken to be by the OP when it wasn't.

Ah thanks for clearing that up.

But OP, usually Apple doesn't discriminate if someone has a used iPhone or not, as long as it has AC then they should replace/repair. TBH, I doubt they'll be replacing your 6 with a 6s.

It seems to me you are a little at the extreme end with your OCD or you have been extremely unlucky with Apple products..

I could see Apple possibly replacing an iPhone 6+ with an iPhone 6S+ if and only if Apple determines the defective logic board errors seen on only iPhone 6+ models are more systemic in nature and less sporadic (so replacing your defective iPhone 6+ with another seemingly defective or soon to be defective iPhone 6+ would actually be counter-productive). But again, I really only see this happening if the defective logic boards are very widespread and not limited to certain manufactured batches.

After researching this problem. I've seen many others with the same issue one had said

"Go to an Apple store, this is a board related issue, the molex connection LCD part is seems to be delicate to drops or the normal usage, so it not grab properly the phone, this is as I know and it should be Apple aware of that. Don't restore since this will not solve your issue you will only lose time, also please notice that your screen is not failing, when the touch part of the screen fails it fails. Im an Apple repair specialized technician and I saw this issue 4 times this week all of them 6 Plus. They should replace your phone. The way to repair this issue is to change the molex connection on the board however this is a level 3/4 support you need the equipment and expertise to perform that otherwise you will damage the mother board." According to one forum.

A bad molex results in a not working touch or not working display and you see a weird pattern on the screen. You have none of these issues!

2) You're not a high priority support case in Apple's books. To put it into perspective, I am in executive management for an oil company. My phone is CRITICAL to my work. Without my mobile phone, I lose communication with a vast number of vital people in order to keep the company operating smoothly. I've walked into Apple to get tech support on my old phone before (5S, dodgy battery). I didn't have an appointment and there were none available till 2 days time. The best they could do was squeeze me in because somebody hadn't shown up on time. Thankfully it was a quick replacement. The only reason I got this "special treatment" was because I explained to them how critical it was to have a fully functioning phone. So no, your assignment is not important to Apple. They care as much as Steve Jobs does.

If your phone is that important to you, maybe it's time to get a service contract with a service provider that gets you a new phone within an hour if your phone fails or something. Honestly, this sounds like awful risk management by your employer. Apple is in no way responsible for smooth operation of your company. I would highly recommend to hire a risk analyst to properly develop and implement risk mitigation measures. This sounds like amateurism.
