5c screen glass seems loose?

I got the green 5c on launch day (UK) , however its only today i noticed that the glass on my screen seems slightly loose on the right hand side?


It doesn't seem to have affected the functionality of the phone, but if i press the right hand of the screen i can feel it moving up/down and it sort of clicks. I was debating taking it back to the apple store on my day off to ask them and maybe get a replacement, because its kind of annoying, plus I did pay nearly £470 for it..

I know the 5c is more cheaply made but I wasn't expecting to have this sort of problem 3 days into owning the device?

iPhone 5c, iOS 7

There's no other phone manufacturer on this planet that would consider a loose screen "within tolerances" but I actually believe the manager, Apples tolerances are clearly much lower than everybody elses yet they're happy to charge a premium for their hardware, the mind boggles. Mine has gone back yet again, waiting on replacement number 7 now.

Sorry, my mistake, 6 repair/replacements, 2 not showing as they were direct retail replacements via Service & Support Admin in the USA.

Do you want to jog on now?


As for trying a different phone, why should I? I paid for this one and it's second hand value is next to nothing. It would take a really special kind of idiot to go and fork out another 500 quid on another model of phone rather than try to get the one they've already purchased fixed. Obviously this is something you'd consider ...

So got my phone back from repair today and the screen is actually worse, now literally half of the screen is loose. Really poor show from Apple, I've had to engage Trading Standards to deal with my mobile network provider to see if I can replace the handset with a different manufacturers or cancel my contract due to the it not being fit for purpose.


Resubmit it for repair? So for the 6th time in 2 months I'm without a phone for a week? How about Apple put some quality control procedures in place and actually check their repairs prior to sending them back to customers? Surely that would be the sensible thing to do?

I treat my phones very well not that it's relevant as all have had loose screens on arrival. I can also provide every repair ID for each phone. Is it your sole intention just to troll other users on these forums?

Before you crawl back under your bridge, try reading.

No you can't. You are here to troll and annoy people and offering no constructive input. Posters like you come here regularly to post misinformation in someone else's thread . Do you want someone here to come around and hold your hand while you take your phone to an Apple Store? 😉
