Crack in Apple logo after powering up

Ok - after being on hold for almost 3 hours, and only having my iPhone for 48 hours, I finally got a human being who knew what they were talking about.

Have you had this experience? After powering up - the Apple logo on the first screen has a crack going from 7 o'clock to 1 o'clock where it fades. I thought my precious toy was broken, but finally found out this logo with the crack is specific to the iPhone. Has anyone else noticed this, and why isn't it noted somewhere in the manual or something????? Frustration to the max!

Wow, another example of non-existant QC.

I'd suggest taking it into a Genius Bar and showing them - typically the Apple Logo on the back of the phone will scratch very easily, but a CRACK - that sounds serious. As another posted suggested, you might want to repeatedly power on/off and vigorously rub the cracked logo as the friction can sometimes cause the pixels to invert. But then you run the risk of spreading the crack, too. So, yeah - take it in and get a replacement. Make sure to show the staff the crack, and anyone else in the store (if possible) so that they know what to look for, too 😉
