Flawed screen

I got my 32gb iphone 4 just now from fedex. I just noticed a flaw on my display. It wasn't very obvious, i was messing with the phone for a good 45 minutes till i even spotted it. On the bottom 10% of the screen there are 3 blotches about the size of shirt buttons that discolor the screen a brown/yellow color.

Again hardly noticeable at first but now that i know it's there my eyes get drawn too it. Shows up well when its a white background. I was hoping it was just some grime but wiping down the front didn't help. Oh well, guess i'll hang onto it until apple gets a few more in stock and trade it in a few weeks from now.

I've got the same problem--yellowish blob in the top left corner of the screen.

I'm a nature photographer, and use my iPhone to show off my work. The discoloration is significant enough to be easily noticeable when viewing photos. Disappointing. 😟

Hopefully after tomorrow's mad rush I can get something set up w/ my Apple store to address. I'm hoping I won't get any pushback.

Other than the discoloration, the screen is quite nice. The extra detail from the higher resolution is fantastic when viewing web pages, and photos look very crisp and sharp.

Ya that's just what mine looks like too elitemrp, but 5 of those blobs. I used one of those flashlight apps to turn my screen all white and they really show up. I ended up noticing that it's on the top of the screen as well.

On the upside this is first time I've dealt with apple tech support and it's been really good so far. There still looking into a solution though, sounds like they aren't full set to field iphone 4 problems till tomorrow. The guy helping me said he wont have the tech support software for the iphone 4 till tomorrow cause no one was suppose to have it yet. Kind of a fumble IMO, even apple said some ppl are getting it on the 23rd. Ultimately it's going to be a return, just not sure if I'll have to wait till that stamp out more phones or what.

I did a post to try and see if there were any who got good screens and how bad the flawed screen situation looks and they deleted my post. Guess people don"t want others to know.


It has nothing to do with them not wanting people to know. It's no conspiracy. Heck, these forums are full of people doing nothing but complaining about Apple products. The terms of use of the forum, which you agreed to, specifically forbid doing any census taking or polling. Those types of posts are deleted immediately.
