My iPhone 3G has a zit

i would say yes because its not something that is your fault. its a defect. i would take it to the apple store to have them look at it. just make to make an appointment before going.

You should try exchanging it, i had a similar problem with the 3rg gen. iPod Nano... which, has the hole LCD display off centered. The Apple employees would have replaced it, but all the iPod were the same (8 and 4 gb models). I say you should try to get a new one, i now how annoying it is.

Proactive...sorry, had to...

I had the same issue. Got the phone on Friday, was out in the car admiring it and noticed 3 white heads at the top. Went back in and they replaced it with no questions asked.

the power button on mine is not level. They said they would replace when they have more in stock.

I have the same problem. There's a bubble in the plastic on the back of my iPhone. I'm trying to get it replace at Fido.

Here's a couple photos:

I have the same thing (in about the same location as these pictures).
It doesn't bother me - in some way, it kinda adds character.

I've got an invisishield on order - if the bump interferes with its clean installation, I'll take it back & get another iPhone. If not, I'm going to keep my blemished baby.

I also noticed something similar on mine. However, it is very small and I wouldn't have noticed it if I had not read this thread.

However, I will try to get it changed since I only got it today. In Hong Kong when I got the iphone the store told me before they unsealed the box that once the box is opened I can't return the phone. I will try to see if they can do something regarding this case.

Hoping for the best. For now I have a silicon cover for the back and the sides.

If it's not even very noticeable (and hidden in your case on top of that), why bother having it replaced?

Just curious.

It is in my mind now. Now that I know that it is there and exactly where it is. I guess I can try to replace it. If I can't then I will have it put it behind me.

Here's a tiny piece of [unsolicited] advice.

I've had lots of things that had extremely minor physical imperfections (in fact the last was a Nokia factory-unlocked phone.) I took it back to get one that was physically perfect.

The flip side was that the replaced one has been nothing but trouble - a full on lemon - but by the time the ugliness inside reared it's lovely head I was in another country (two days later.)

So yup, mine (iPhone 3G) has a tiny "zit" (great way to put it BTW) in the plastic. There's one other very very minor manufacturing issue that I noticed. Neither of these two issues were noticed by anyone else.

The phone on the other hand works great, and doesn't have any other issues - while I could probably take it back, but I'd rather not chance getting one that looks great but has a lot of internal "issues."

That being said, I fully understand wanting things to be perfect - it's just that they rarely are. After being burned a few times (like the above example), I'll stick with devils I can see.

My 2c. Take it, leave it, or give it to someone else.

I'll take those 2cents and see you 2 more cuz i feel the same way had i not
seen this thread i too would have not noticed but i did it's really very small plus i have one of those silicon skins which by the way feels very nice, anyway im with you yoink my ihpone works great!Think i can live with a tiny imperfection , i know im not perfect-

wow apple must be doing something right. now customers don't even care if apple products have defects!

Did you try squeezing it? 🙂
