Bubbles under the glass???

I have an 4gb iPhone that I got at the launch of the phone that has bubbles that are appearing under the glass now.

I have 5 bubbles thus far and more as showing up as the days go on. I can't find any reference to these on apple's site but I am seeing quite a few people talk about it when searching google.

Is this something apple will take care of at the Apple Store and replace the phone?

This is not due to any abuse, it's just a fault of manufacturing or something.

What's the deal here?

Your problem is rare, but not unheard of. What most likely happned was your iPhone might have had a fault when it was made. Their might have been a spot that air could get under the screen. It may be to small to see with the human eye, but most likely its their. Like another guy said, your still under the one year warranty, so try to take it in, and explain it to them. If they can not help you because your warranty does not cover it, you should invest in getting it fixed ASAP. A small problem can get bad FAST. So as long as you fix it soon, you should be good.

Quick update, I took my phone in today and got it replaced right away. The Geniuses said they had never seen the problem before, though I know one of them did because I had the problem before and had him send it out, which resulted in getting a replacement, but I digress. One of them thought the bubbles was due to heat, but I don't really think that I've had it in unusually hot environments. I was really pleased with the quick help of the Towson Apple Store Geniuses. Yay for no bubbles!
