IPhone 5s top glass not flush with chrome bezel?

So I was recently rubbing my iphone screen clean with a microfiber cloth when I noticed there was some white dust / lint on the top of the screen where the glass meets the bezel that simply won't rub off. Upon closer inspection the "white lint" I'm seeing is not lint / dust at all, it is the edge of the glass part being raised above the chrome bezel, and instead of being black or transparent it is white. When I look at the top part edge on (like looking down directly at the lock button) it appears that the front part of the screen is raised up ever so slightly. If I apply pressure on this raised part it goes down like it should and is 100% flush like in the product images on the official apple iphone site, but as soon as I release it comes back up again. It's a really minor cosmetic issue right now, but I'm concerned about down the line, like a thread getting snagged in the tiny elevated part and pulling the screen to be more separated. Or maybe over time the separation will increase on its own?
Other than that (and my loose rattling lock button, which I've learned to live with since all the ones on display at my local apple store also have rattling lock buttons) the phone is flawless. Would apple be able to re-seat the screen to fix this issue? Or if I showed them this would they just want to offer a replacement? I am definitely not pleased with this very minor defect, but not sure what to do. The fact that the screen is raised doesn't bother me, it's that it looks like white dust / lint because is stuck in there where it is raised that bothers me.
Thanks for your replies

I went in, genius noted that the display glass was separating, and replaced it on the spot. Support like this is why I keep buying apple products. Thank you apple!

  • Glass Not Flush With Bezel On All Sides

    Like the battery in My MacBook, the glass panel on the front of my iPhone is not Flush with both sides of the bezel. On the right side it meets perfectly smooth with the edge, on the left side it dips slightly creating a little lip with the bezel. It's not huge, but it's there.
    Just wondering if this is typical of iPhone construction or if I need to take it into an Apple Store for a swap. Like I said, I see it in almost every MacBook I've seen, but then the battery is designed to be removable and one would expect it to be an imperfect fit. The iPhone is a sealed enclosure with no user accessible parts. I realize no manufacturing process is perfect, but is this something I should even try to get Apple will likely to replace or is it like the stuck pixel LCD problem of the past?

    It's defective. Take it back.
    I have both a macbook and a iPhone, both perfect.

  • I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon.  Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

  • My iPhone 4S Bluetooth will not connect with either my iPad1, MacBook Pro or Automobile BT.  Suspect a stack issue in new BT 4.0 (BTLE) release. Has any one discovered fix to this. I have tried this with two separate 4S phones and have same problem..

    One further clarification. I am most concerned with connecting with BT in automobile. I can use WiFi to tether to my other devices.  I cannot change the car very easily! My iPhone 3G had no connection issues.

    I'm new.  Same bluetooth problem. Will not pair with my 2010 VW GTI w NAV system, or my MacBook Pro 17" (just discovered the MacB prob.)
    When I initially discovered the problem I went to an Apple Store. Genius was excellent but requested that I check with VW.  VW people were very helpful. A mechanic had an iphone 4s. He came out to the car ... He could not pair my phone but he could pair his phone ... So, it's the iphone ... Back to the Apple Store ... the genius was really good. He replaced the iphone. Great !  So, back out to the car & it would not pair, still.  So ... can't be the phone , right.  Back to VW. The Audi manager had an iphone 4S. He paired his phone with my car. He could not pair my phone to my car. He tries my phone in a new 2011 GTI sitting on the lot ... my phone pairs with it just fine.  So ... it's my car.  So ... make an appointment to get the bluetooth module replaced. They replace the Bluetooth module. My iphone will not pair.  They end up pairing 2 different iphone 4S to my car ... but not my iphone 4S. My iphone 4S will also not pair with another 2010 GTI they have in for service. Though the 2 iphone 4S
    pair with the second GTI just fine.  They even try pairing my iphone with a brand new 2012 GTI in the showroom ... yep ... it paired fine.    So ... ????????????????
    They are going to update my nav software next (tomorrow), Hopeful ??? not really ... Will be taking my computer to Apple Store next ... maybe if they can discover why it will not pair to my MacBook Pro it will lead to a solution for the GTI ???  I'll get back to you.

  • Simple Pass Not Working with Chrome Version 42.0.2311.90 m

    SimplePass stopped working today.  I noticed a while ago that I no longer had to manually add the Website Logon extension anymore.  A small window popped up with a warning about using developer extensions and SimplePass worked.  Website Logon extension is enabled, but SimplePass isn't working.
    Does anyone know I can fix this?  Many thanks in advance.
    As a last resort, I have gone back to a previous restore point.  Now SimplePass is working.  However, I would still like resolution as I expect to encounter this problem again with other updates, etc.  Can someone tell me what Windows Update may have caused the problem so I can not apply that particular update?
    Thanks again.

    Hi @mellman ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Community! I hope you enjoy your time with us.
    I see that you are having a problem with SimplePass not working with Chrome. This has been a problem for a while now as Google Chrome made some changes about what extensions are available from their webstore and how they work.  You can try the steps in this HP Forums post to see if that fixes the issue for you.

  • Simple pass not working with Chrome

    I've seen this posted numerous times (some posts going back to 2012) and I have yet to see an answer that works. I just bought a windows 7 machine with simple pass.  Simple pass simply does not work with chrome. The only time it works is when I log on to windows itself. Everything is new and up to date, and simple pass is configured correctly. 
    This is one of the reasons why I bought this machine, and it just doesn't work. Can someone, anyone, tell me how to make it work?

    It does work with IE Explorer but I have to use Chrome for work

  • IPhone camera roll does not sync with iPhoto

    Around 1/2 of my pictures in my camera roll folder on my iPhone 5S are missing in iPhoto. For example: I have photos until April 2014 that are sync'ed and then a gap until October 2014. How come iPhoto does not import all my photos as a standard? I cannot be related to dates as there are a mix of old and new.
    Thanks!

    Make sure that you are using a apple charger or transferring charger. Then unplug the charger from both things plug it back in. If that does not work then unplug again and restart.iPhone camera roll does not sync with iPhoto

    /* ~~ These are the columns for the layout. ~~
    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the block elements. The elements within these blocks have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the block itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the block element and place a second block element within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
    2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a block set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For blocks where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the block element's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
    3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar blocks could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
    4) If you prefer your nav on the left instead of the right, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all left instead of all right) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the blocks around in the HTML source.

    Add this to the end of your nav p CSS selector at Line 209 of your HTML file, after 'background-repeat...':
    margin-bottom: -2px;
    Your nav p will then look like this:

              font-weight: bold;
              color: #FFC;

  • Apex 5 not working with Chrome, works perfectly with firefox.

    Hi All,
    So after a few days of trying to upgrade my 4.2 PDB to 5.0. Finally, Success.
    I have encountered a new issue.
    Apex works fine under Firefox, but the same cannotbe said for google chrome.  Even though I can log in via chrome, certain things do not work.
    For example.
    When I click on my username for the account menu in the top right corner, nothing happens with chrome (see image1).
    When I do the same exact thing under Firefox, I get the drop down account menu as intended. (see image2)
    I am a linux user, so at first I thought maybe it was something related to chrome with Linux.
    Then I thought maybe it was some sort of caching issue, so i cleared my cache and all temp files.
    Finally, I checked the chrome vs firefox comparison on 3 different PC's. 1 linux, 1 Windows 8.
    When I use Apex via Firefox, I have not bumped into a single bug, I was able to test it thoroughly to make sure desiger and all features worked without an issue.
    Under chrome, some things work, others do not.
    Another example of something that doesnt work under chrome. When I get an authentication error, the countdown timer (please wait 5 seconds) does not count down nor disappear after 5 seconds. Under firefox, works. This can be said for an assortment of buttons, links, drop down menus.
    Has anyone bumped into this? Anyone successfully using apex5 via chrome?
    Thanks in advance,
    John T.

    Hi John,
    based on the error message that almost looks like that our desktop.min.js library didn't load. Can you please try the following.
    1) On the page where you see that error, click the Hamburger icon in the top right corner and select 'More tools' -> View Source.
    2) In the HTML source displayed, search for desktop.min.js (use Ctrl+F) and click on that link of the file. desktop.min.js should be right before wwv_flow.js_messages.
    Does it show the source of the file?
    If that works, can you do the same for jquery-2.1.3.min.js right before desktop.min.js.

  • HT1454 iPhone 4s video out not working with AV cable

    I have an iPhone 4s with ios 6.0.  I recently bought the apple composite AV cable from an apply store.  Unfortunate when I connect it to my tv all I get is sound.  I've search for tv out settings but I can't seem to find them.  Any suggestions?

    im running ios 6.1.3 but have been having this problem for a while at least 2 earlier versions.I have an iphone 4s as do 2 of my work colleagues one running on the same as me and the other slightly earlier but not sure. I have a docking device that has an av out and also an iphone adater to composite av.and also vuzix wrap that supports iphone My phone doesnt work with any and i can recall starting to have problems first with the docking device which became temperamental and then wouldnt work at all.both my mates phones work with it and the glasses.My kids ipad 2s work with the composite lead and the glasses- dont fit the dock obviously ,my iphone 3 runs on all.i can only think that at some point the internals of my iphone 4s may have become damaged hence the intermittant problems with the dock at first ,and maybe its the 30 pin plug could it be that whichever of the pins carry the av signal have become damaged in some way posible dampness ,but im going to have it changed as it seems like a likey possibility.I can say one thing it was nothing to do with the software version ,nor any other device or lead.Also what i thought might be the internal 30 pin plug is i dont get a message l anymore saying the "accessory is not compatible with this iphone"therefore i dont think the phone knows theres a plug in so for the av out pins anyway as it charges up fine

  • IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio not working with stock Toyota radio

    I have a 2010 Toyota 4Runner Limited which has the premimum JBL radio in it.  Up until recently, I have had an iPhone 4 which worked well with both hands free phone features, along with Bluetooth Audio so I can stream my music from iTunes or Amazon Cloud Players.  I dont use the feature all the time, so I am not sure when it stopped working (after upgrading to IOS6 or upgrading to an iPhone 5) but bluetooth audio no longer works.  I can still use the bluetooth phone features, but if I go to the bluetooth music tab on my stereo, it states that the portable player is not connected. Siri also works fine through bluetooth, as it it can read my text messages, ask and answer questions through the car stereo, though I cannot make an outgoing call with Siri because after it shuts off siri and starts to dial, my stereo disconnects. 
    I know Apple updated the bluetooth, but you would think the new version would be backwards compatible, right?  Is there a plan from Apple to fix this, because I am sure Toyota isnt going to update the firmware on their stereos just to fix an issue with one phone...

    Actually, as an update, mine is now working (the BlueTooth Audio part, Siri still cannot place calls).
    I have done this on my first (now smashed) iPhone 5 and my new iPhone 5.  It takes a lot of trial and error, but you can get it to work.
    First thing is with the iPhone 4, all I had to do was connect the phone in the phone connect screen and it just worked for both.  Not so with the 5.  With the 5, I have to register it both in the Audo Settings> Bluetooth Audio Settings menus as well as the phone settings on the radio.  I didnt know there were two different connections with two different pins.  (0000 and 1212).  I forget which one you have to connect first, but again, I tried it so many times both installs and it eventually worked.  It may be easier to change the name of either the Phone or Bluetooh Audio name from Car Multimedia, so the iPhone can easily connect to one or the other, but I left them both with the same name.  I can now play music, and when the phone rings, automatically swaps over to that one.
    Play with it and you will get it to work.  If I have time, i will remove it and do it again and write down the steps.
