I’ve not had a very good run with my iPhone 3GS – first of all, I found the same rattle that Will found, and now I’ve got screen issues!
What exactly? Well, follow my instructions below and let’s see if you have the same:
– hold the 3GS in the palm of one of your hands
– take the thumbnail of your other hand and gently run in from the centre of the screen outwards toward the bezel
– see if your thumbnail slips off from the glass over the bezel, or
– …. if it catches on the bezel
….. basically my screen is higher on one side than the other – and looking at the device in profile, you can just about see this.
I was expecting this to be just my issue, but when I typed “iPhone screen not flush”, I got back a bunch of hits – seems like I am not the only person with this problem! Interestingly, this doesn’t appear to be just a 3GS problem, but prone to occur on other devices too!
Now I’m not commenting on this purely because I am OCD, but for practical reasons – if the screen doesn’t mount flush, I’d guess there would be a higher chance of dirt or fluid ingress? Certainly that’s been the case on other devices I’ve owned.
I’m also a little disappointed that the build quality from Apple, a company normally famed for its industrial design, is a bit lacking here – in my opinion that is.
Anyone else got the same issue?
