Hi

I've had my iPhone for a couple of weeks now, and I love it ! But recently I saw what I thought it was a particle of dust or something on the screen.

Thus I tried cleaning it off... it wouldn't come off so I peal the screen cover I have on it thinking it was behind the screen cover, but to my surprise the particle is behind the glass !!! I can't get it off... it is significantly big and I one can see it with the iPhone on or off. It is kinda getting annoying...

Anyone with similar issues ? Is it worth taking it in to the Apple Store may be ask for a replacement or repair ?

Thanks.

I'd take it to the Apple Store. You paid $199 or $299 for a flawless product (out-of-the-box) and that's what you ought to get.

I had a similar problem with an iPod nano - 3rd gen if I can figure out the current correct nomenclature. The apple store wouldn't do anything. Said I could try getting someone to open it up. I tried dislodging it with compressed air without any luck. It's just sitting in a desk drawer right now. Didn't affect its use, was just annoying.

I had 3 particles under the screen, took it to the Apple store and they replaced it without question. Couldn't hurt to try if it really bothers you...

Unless the Apple store is far away.
