iPhone 3GS - Rough Pitted Screen

[Munson]

This is quite strange. My iPhone screen is completely blemish free, not a single mark on it anywhere. However, in a couple of spots, it's developed a 'pitted' surface. It's not visible at all, but it can definitely be felt.

This sounds like nothing, but it actually seriously hampers the iPhone interface. Not functionally, just that from a tactile point of view, it's not the same when the fingers don't glide.

Has anyone else heard or experienced this problem? I reckon I may have to take it to an Apple store TBH.

Apple store = New one.

 

[Gally]

Tom do they move everything over for you in store?

 

[JD]

Not as far as I am aware Kev, they tell you to back everything up at home.

 

[Munson]

Yeah I think I will take it into a store when I get back to the UK.

 

[Gally]

Ah was thinking that, so just transfer onto the new one when you get home.

 

[Needster]

Yep, defo get a new one. Mines been a little sketchy really when I touch it, but I'm blaming the screen protector, ATM.

Drop a cup in his vicinity.

 

[ForceIndia]

Oh, and mine has the same sort of pitting in a few places.

 

[H182]

Surely something like thats down to wear and tear? coins in pocket etc?

Bit of jewlers rouge should sort it i'd have thought.

Tom, you saw the state mine was in before I got a replacement... Cover and screen protector are required!

 

[Tom]

The coating on the 3gs screen is soo good i wouldnt want to protect it.

Seemingly doesnt wear well at all.

 

[Needster]

Calamity here needs all the protection she can get! Whether it hinders the thing or not.

 

[Tom]

Just take it back when its mashupindaplace.

 

[Needster]

Tru dat.
