Why the difference?

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to show you some pics of two head to head iphone 4's, which differ .

Mine (got it SH) is a refurb 2010 43th week
Her's is a brand new 2011 9th week

The differences i've spotted were related to the LCD screen and the camera LED, performance is same, all the buttons on her's are a little more firm but i blame that on the wear.

On the left you have my older refurb iphone and on the left her brand new i4

1.LCD

Mine has visibly more contrast.

2. LED

Mine has a yellowish light, her's is clear white... more visible with the naked eye than the photos bellow.

Why this differences???

It's just a result of manufacturing, unfortunately. It would be impossible to get every single iPhone exactly the same.

of course yes, but her LCD is really crappy compared to mine.... that really sucks for her.... especially since we're talking about an expensive device....

3) Receive new iphone4
4)...

You can easily get it replaced at an Apple store, you know. Just bring both in and show them to a Genius. You'll be out in no time.
