Chip in the edge of my iPhone 5 screen?

So I was inspecting my new (out of the box) iPhone 5 today and I noticed a VERY tiny little chip in the lower left-hand edge of the screen (SEE PICTURE BELOW). It's so tiny that I had to REALLY look to see it. While it is kind of annoying that my $200 device had any defects at all, it's really not enough to make me send it in to be replaced if it's not going to hurt anything. HOWEVER, I was wondering if this little chip could possibly turn to something more? Intensive use isn't going to cause the TINY chip to turn into a huge crack that goes across the screen; will it? If there's any chance of that happening, I don't want any part of it. Any help would be appreciated.

if you keep dropping it then it might eventually get bigger. If you have the warrenty, then i think that you should make an apppointment to go to the store and look into getting a new one for free. They are very nice and understanding about stuff like that

HT3226 My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one

My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one.. ???

I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

Any tutorial to see the edge animation in iphone devices

You can test some of the Edge samples here - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/edge-animate/articles/showcase-sample-files.html on iOS devices to see how they fair.
While its difficult to pinpoint what exactly you interested in seeing, if you google search edge samples you may zero in on some samples.

I have a sign of a little lock on the top of my iPhone 4 screen and therefore I am not able to hear from the people who call me unless that I switch the speaker on. What should I do

I have a sign of a little lock on the top of my iPhone 4 screen and therefore I am not able to hear from the people who call me unless that I switch the speaker on. What should I do

The little lock has nothing to do with speaker volume. It means you have locked the rotation on your iPhone.
Have you tried using the volume control on the side of the iPhone to raise the volume when someone calls?

After the new update of the latest iOS, I noticed a yellowish color on the sides of my iPhone 5 screen (Top,Down,Left,Right). Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank You.

It is highly unlikely that any iOS update could cause this.
Try a restore as new, if the problem persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the keypad on an iPhone touch screen?

The keypad is so senstivoty its extremely difficult for me to use. If even a tiny part of my finger brushes a key, its 'typed'. Yet if I try to use a stylus or something smaller so I don't acciently touch a key, there is no response at all. Right now I feel like I have giant clumsby fingers because its no difficult to hit the right key. I also have long finger nails but the keys don't respond to a touch from them..it seems to have to be skin contact for them to work so i have to turn my thumb to the side to touch a key. Since I can't feel the key or see it due to the small size of it, I am pretty much guessing if I have the right one. The problem is too, my right hand has a shake in it so it makes it even more difficult to not hit the wrong key...especially when they are so close together. I have heard of others having similar problems...too sentivite and too hard to text on they had to take their phones in and get one with a regular push down keyboard. Even when on the internet its so super sensitivity I end up accidently hitting something while trying to scroll, causing it to take me to a different page. Its very frustrating. Yet when pushing incons on the phones main menu I have to push them over and over and over again, hard to get any response. This is a brand new phone too. Just got it earilier this week.
(and yes people have told me to cut my nails but I really don't think that will help anyway...besides I shouldn't have too just to get a phone to work).
Thanks for your help!

There are pressure sensitive screens (which do respond to pointed sticks. ;-). ) and capacitive screens, which respond to the electrical capacitance created by the presence of a finger tip. The iPhone is the latter. The only way the screen can respond to the pressure of you fingertip is by detecting the increased area of contact caused by your increased pressure. This is demonstrated in sone musical instrument apps. If the screen itself was to be pressure-sensitive, a sheet of rigid glass would not have been Apple's choice. :-)

Why are there white bars across the top of my iPhone 5 screen?

I have a brand new iphone 5 (not 5S) which has white bars across the top of the screen. The bars are quite faint at first, if the screen has been locked for a while but they get brighter while you use the phone. The bars overlap and obscure the time and battery symbols but you can still see through them with effort. I have tried turning it off and on again but this has not helped. It may have happened after the phone was updated to the latest version (iOS 7.1.2). this was required so I could transfer my old phone's information from a backup. Has anyone experienced this issue or know the cause of it?

Hi Ererer, I am sorry to hear that you are having that problem with characters showing up at the top of your screen. I had a similar problem so I understand how frustrating it can be. This problem has been linked to some antivirus software. Could you tell me what kind you use? I have also found an easy solution to this. When they appear simply drag the window from its maximized state down. It will no longer take up the full screen and the characters will be gone and everything will be back to normal. If you want it maximized again simply drag it back. I hope this helps.

Anyone else with a small chip or two on the edge of your new iPad Air?

Anyone else with a small chip or two on the edge of your new iPad Air?
I just picked up my new space gray Air and it has a small defect or chip in the edge which is purely cosmetic but is disappointing since I haven't had the thing for an entire day.

yeah, actually I just got a black one 16gb wifi from Target which has a chip too!
I took it to Apple store but they told me to go back to Target...
but all of the iPads are sold out in the Targets around me...
not having a great time with my first iPad experience....

I have the gold iPhone 5s. I recently dropped it and it now has a chip on the side. Well it's more like a chunk missing. Is there anyway I can get that fixed?

Is there anyway to fix a hug chip on the side of gold iPhone 5s

Probably not.
What is of more concern than the cosmetic "chip missing" is the likelihood that some internal components are damaged.
You should take it to an Authorized Apple Service Center for an evaluation.

Found a small chip on the corner of my new macbook pro- worth calling?

I've had this mac since around December time so I've been very careful with my new purchase! I was just at my desk today when I realised there is small chip on the edge near the battery charger.
Is it worth calling apple about or will they not do anything?
Not sure what can be done, its just annoying considering its so new!

You are a bit over the Apple 14 day return period. There is no way to tell if it came like that and even if it did you would of needed to see it when you took it out of the box. And then taken it back for a replacement.
Sorry but as Steve says Apple will do nothing for you as this falls under accidental damage, as far as Apple is concerned.

HT201274 What can I do if the glass starts to lift up around the edge?

I've noticed that the screen is starting to lift off around the edge on my iPhone, is there any way to fix this problem? PS Being a pensioner I reeeaallly can't afford a newer phone Sic please help

My iphone was cracking up on the back and the screen being pushed out. I took a sharp needle and popped the battery. Gas came out and the battery went back to normal size; gluey smell -probably not very healthy but have heard of phones getting completely wrecked. Don't know if this is the smartest thing to do. Probably not if you have an aple store nearby where it'd be better to arrive with impending disaster in hand.
The battery was of course useless, but that was the case beforehand. Bought the phone used, so wasn't sure if I would have any rights of battery replacement at reduced cost.

IPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black.

I bought an iPhone 5 in New York last December. Now I live in Bogotá, Colombia and I can't find an authorized service center because they said that only if I bought it from a local carrier they attend the warranty.
My iPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black… The only way to make it work is to reboot with Home and Lock buttons pressed at the same time. But in the process most of the times it flickers again, and again, and again. I couldn't find a reason to identify what could be causing the issue. Also sometimes when it freezes, some group applications get ungrouped, causing a big mess.
I already tried to restore the phone, remove the SIM, delete all applications with no luck.
Any sugestion? Thanks!

Was this phone ever jalbroken?
If restoring as new, without using a backup, didn't help, there is certainly a hardware problem that only replacement can fix. Your warranty is void unless you return to the USA. Short of that, finding a local independent iPhone repair center would be your only option

HT201263 my iphone 5 screen has gone black, and when i plug it into itunes it says we have discovered a iphone in recovery mode, then when i try to restore it it just says waiting for iphone and doesnt get anywhere else. ny clue on how i can fix this prob

when i upgraded my iphone to the new update My iphone 5 screen went completely black and has been like it for 2 days. I have tried holding home and lock,I have tried holding lock and the volume, and I have tried holding just the volume, it still just stays black.
When i plugged it into my Mac the apple logo comes up on the iphone screen. and then on the computer it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes. (as in the below pictures)
when i click ok to restore it just says waiting for iphone (as in the other photo below). i left it in for 20minutes and still said the same thing.
after that i tried unplugging the iphone and it just went back to being a black screen again if anyone has any idea please please help me, thank you.

I searched the iPod Touch forum for "iphone in recovery mode" and it appears there are two possible solutions:
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore it>

Ketchup on Iphone 5 screen

Somebody chucked a box of ketchup on me, some of it went on the side of my iPhone 5 screen. I was so upset to look at it so someone cleaned it with tissue. It's not on the screen anymore but it smells of ketchup. The phone is working but can there be any problems?

Not unless some got inside the ports - Lightning and headset, which could lead to internal corrosion.
it smells of ketchup.
Don't be tempted to put the phone on top of a hamburger

Have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone

have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone user for years.I was right! Or so I thought.... The Note 3 has been horrible. I am on my second phone(replaced it under warranty) and it still freezes, shuts off on its own, and will not come back on for long periods of time. Having had enough, I decided to EDGE Up to another device. On March 16th I tried to edge up my device online but was unable to. I immediately called to figure out what the problem was. Back in October I had a mix up in my billing where I had set up a payment. It was not done properly by customer service and as a result my line was cut off. I called the EXACT day it went off, filed a complaint about the lack of follow through for my arranged payment, and thought I had it straightened out as the payment was made that same day. That incident, although it was a Verizon error, caused my Edge Contract to be "hotlined". I spent an hour on the phone on March 16th clearing the whole mess up. When the conversation ended, the Verizon representative admitted it was a Verizon error, documented everything, and then told me she was filing a release for the hotline hold that would take a couple of days. Her name was Linda and I stupidly trusted what she said.
The days passed as I prepared to have a major foot surgery and to get my classroom straight before I would be out recovering for 3 weeks. All the time, my Samsung continued to glitch out like it has since I got it! While sitting on the couch recovering, I decided to deal with the phone issue again and EDGE UP. I figured 10 days latter, Linda would have taken care of the issue. Unfortunately, I faced the same problem and was told it was not eligible to edge up at this time. BACK on the phone again, 2 supervisors, 3 customer service reps. ( JOE from New York being the rudest customer service rep. I have EVER worked with) and 4 frustrating HOURS latter, Jason, the equally rude supervisor from Rochester, New York, informed me that Linda gave me BAD information, there was NOTHING he could do, and I am NOT eligible until April 14th!!!!! The WORST experience I have EVER had with a company. They were completely inept, rude, and not concerned about my time, my frustration, or the problems I was facing with their product in the LEAST. I have 4 LINES on Verizon that I am going to talk to Sprint about buying out. It was a horrible experience, and I can NOT believe I have no recourse or anyone to talk to....

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.
