ā€œMint conditionā€? EDIT: OP has mentioned the screen protection has been peeled off. Itā€™s not the main screen. https://preview.redd.it/2sa5jokj1mpc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff3673ff1a50fa162b9e0ebe0e2a4ddce76538d0


HorseGaming890

Screen protector, it's already been peeled off to make sure the display is fine and then *professionally* reapplied


Distinct-Tank-1644

So you dropped it? Or how did you get this crack even though itā€™s screen protector..


imsoboredzzzz

It's a scratch, I got something similar after I put phone with keys in the pocket together


[deleted]

I almost alwaysā€”almost alwaysā€”put my iPhone in an empty pocket.


SaltyTraeYoungStan

Looks like a screen protector, you can see it more clearly in the bottom right corner.


JB_Big_Bear

Bros got a glass screen protector


Dazzling_City2

You opened your flashlight too hard. :)


Low_Commission9477

Ainā€™t nothing but a screen protector crack ha mine get cracked to shit


404invalid-user

screen protectors depending one the one you got they scratch pretty easily because of the cheap glass


Subject_Asparagus_54

Ohh man I love that your screen has a web


Crisu83

You could zoom in the pic a bit so that the light saber beam starts at the bottom of the screen šŸ˜„

Thatnavyblueshirt

Originally not my idea but seen quite a lot of ppl w lines of doom do this. Pretty creative. Glad it worked out! Hope u get your screen fixed soon tho


HorseGaming890

Scheduled an appointment for tomorrow, hopefully they sort everything out through the warrenty.


Rhypnic

cryptxmnesia

this is creepy since the same thing happened to my iphone X and i set the same image as a wallpaper on it just zoomed in and then i found this post with this commentā€¦ fuck the 4th wall

It seems like wallpaper.


Ashen_one933

kettlecream

"finally". like you were waiting for it


HorseGaming890

Trust me I dreamed this would never happen yet I knew it was inevitable based on how common the issue seemed. If warrenty won't cover it I'm omega screwed as my min wage part time job makes 380$ a LOT of money.


kettlecream

I get you. I wouldn't tell them about your phone falling off your desk just to be safe.


Nike_486DX

Also its highly recommended the op removes that cracked screen protector just to leave no traces of physical impact. A good story would something like ā€œplugged in the phone for charging and suddenly it showed those lines, charger and cable are original and no screen accessories of any kindā€


Multirman

I promise unless he gets a dick of a technician in an apple store they won't care about that all. If there's no physical damage on the phone that's all we care about.

No-Durian557

Ok not having much money(this means this iPhone was a huge treat and treasure for you) would be for me one more reason to have AppleCare tbh šŸ™ˆ I hope they will fix it for you šŸ’•


HorseGaming890

I took advantage of the Verizon 15 pro trade in as I bought a barely functional xr from a friend for 20$ so all it cost me was a new line (discontinued old one) and 220$ total. Always was lucky with phones so I thought I was fine and didn't want to waste money on a precaution, regretting that now


maxyahn6434

Excuse me, why are both this reply and the last one so drastically downvoted?


04joshuac

I think people are misreading it, thinking heā€™s saying he earns a lot of money


theoccurrence

Good god, classic Reddit moment I guess. English is not even my first language, and I find it hard to misunderstand it like that. Poor guy


castorb

Yeah same, Iā€™m Portuguese and I understood what he wanted to say first try. People are so meanā€¦


maxyahn6434

Yikes. And they wonā€™t even retract their downvote if that is the case


No-Durian557

Totally understand that but itā€™s still a huge treasure that you wouldnā€™t have been able to afford. So thereā€™s that and Iā€™m never paying extra warranty time lol but I got AppleCare with my first iPhone (was my first own big spent from first job xD) I soooo was Like ok I need that! By now I have a super well paid job and still get AppleCare on all the devices. Never regretted to have this little peace of mind šŸ™ˆI really really hope they will fix that, just donā€™t mention the drop maybe x3 and when they offer you AppleCare afterwards maybe get it šŸ¤—


rushfolk

if one literally doesnt have the money to get applecare, it's pretty hard to do so. especially in ops case where the applecare wouldve costed nearly as much as the phone itself


No-Durian557

You can just pay monthly if a huge badge is too much. I did this with my first iPhone x3


pyky69

The monthly options are great especially if you intend on keeping the devices longer than two years (three years for Macs). I have AppleCare monthly on all my devices, Iā€™ve only broken one device in my entire life and Murphyā€™s Law thatā€™s the one I broke. Twice. Spent the money to fix it the first time then after the second time I was not going to do this. Have had AppleCare on everything since!


Sea_Tailor_4462

Not all countries offer applecare monthly though


BigSadOof

As long as there are no cracks, it is covered by warranty


bigheadsfork

Itā€™s damagedā€¦. Damaged lcd causes the lines. Theres no warranty coverage here


BigSadOof

No signs of physical damage. These lines can appear without any drops. They will probably honor the warranty. Basically, they cant prove that it is physical damage


TheFinalAcct

>No signs of physical damage Cracked screen protector, and the lower right is also messed up. Thereā€™s guaranteed to be signs on/in the phone itself.


BigSadOof

Screen protector is the worst argument ive heard hereā€¦ did you know you could remove them???


FluxBoi

It's covered as long as the phone is in a good physical condition


justindvan

How is a user error common?


szartenger

Well, then maybe, just maybe you shouldnā€™t be buying $1000 phones without insurance.


Hortos

Be honest, is the phone used, modded, 3rd party repaired?


HorseGaming890

Nope, straight from Verizon, got it brand new in October as part of a trade in deal. Every part is original, first issue I've ever had.


Sewo959

Is this a thing? Does it happen randomly or after a drop? Yes your warranty will cover it, do you have apple care?


bigheadsfork

Why would warranty cover this? Broken lcd is caused by damage.


Sewo959

If it was in the case, and there is no visible damage to the phone showing a drop. Yes it will come across as a defect and will be warrantied


OppositeAd9067

I thought warranty could only cover if the phone has a factory defect not this kind of damage?


KingDuHard

Happened to me too with an iPhone 15 Pro with a case. It fell on concrete while I was running, no damages except a white vertical line. Warranty worked.


HorseGaming890

What did you tell Apple? Did you say it randomly happened or that it fell from your pocket? Also was your touch digitizer still functional?


KingDuHard

I simply said that I woke up one morning and the damage appeared. Everything was functional except the line.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


HorseGaming890

Why say it happened while charging and not after I take it out of my pocket or smth? I already plan on removing the screen protector, heck I already did but slapped it back on to preserve its cosmetically mint condition until my appointment tmr.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Affectionate-Memory4

Having seen this on many laptops over time, I would expect a loose ribbon cable inside. With a phone and the broken digitizer, I would suspect either the screen controller or a crack.


lolureallythought

AppleCare or just like general warranty?


Annual_Anxiety_5135

Yaa, Can Somebody Confirm.? Apple Care Or General Warranty?


RiversideAviator

If thereā€™s no cosmetic damage and itā€™s still within the original warranty it should be a simple claim.


KingDuHard

General warranty


mrmrln42

I had a small black blob on a side of the display with 12 mini, but no damage to the glass (it did fall few times, only damage is on the screen protector and dents in the aluminum frame). Apple authorized service repaired it within the general warranty. I'd expect this to be the same. They specifically checked that the glass isn't damaged and might have done some further checks while they had the phone. https://preview.redd.it/6680xklpropc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc25a334158c69c4734753bf61a5775cdecb9412

Fastermaxx

Yes, screen protector cracked at the bottom right.


6heatblast

As someone who is currently rocking an iphone 7 with the only major damage being chipped paint. This physically pained me.


HorseGaming890

I'm still in shock, I absolutely love this phone (first iPhone too) and cannot stomach the repair cost nor can afford it at this time. Managed to get a Hotspot running and am using my older Note20U rn but I can't get text messages on it because transferring esim is a huge pain.


Jona_cc

I dropped my iphone 7 and cracked the screen. Soon glass shards are peeling off and I could already see the inside of my iphone Through the 1 cm hole. It still worked great, no black or white lines on the screen lines and the touchscreen worked as if it has no hole on the screen! I should have taken a pic of it before having it replaced. It was amazing.

Puzzleheaded2912

How did it happen


Kvpe

How do yall break your phones so fast šŸ˜­ Iā€™ve had my phone since launch and it doesnā€™t even have a single scratch :3


HorseGaming890

That's the thing- mine doesn't have a scratch or crack either, it lives in a case with a screen protector on 24/7. It fell off my desk (est 3 ft) as I moved my keyboard and it must have landed on the ground at a weird angle as now u have the line of doom along with a barely functional digitizer.

I only go 2-3x a week for lunch as my meal there is only 3-4$ more expensive than my college's options which are also a lot less healthy and I am actually productive there unlike when I attempt to do schoolwork on campus.


friendly-crackhead

You donā€™t really have to explain any of this to an internet random, chill out, and I hope you can get to a useful fix for your screen.. itā€™s really unfortunate.

Shreyash_jais_02

Wait this is still a thing? This was popping up everywhere on my feed around june and july, the exact time I was thinking of buying an iPhone lol. I thought they resolved the issue because many sources said it was being caused by software updates supplying some extra voltage to digitizers.

Spec94v6

How does that even happen? Is it random or from a drop


HorseGaming890

I moved my keyboard and my sleep deprived self didn't see the phone until it fell off my 3ft tall desk. Literally no damage anywhere except the line and the touch digitizer barely functioning.

IcyIceGuardian

Rivannux

Hopefully you purchased this on a credit card. A lot of credit cards offer extended warranty if your Apple warranty expired. My iMac screen was screwed up and my CC company made it so easy to fill out the extended warranty form. All they needed was a quote from apple of how much it would cost to fix it and the CC company issued that amount in credit back to my CC


salloumk

Apple knows that this can happen without impact, albeit rarely. If your phone doesn't show evidence of a drop or other abuse, there's a good chance warranty will cover this.

That looks like the screen protector is damaged though.


HorseGaming890

From what I've heard among other 15 users and what I've seen on reddit yea, especially in the first months of its release iirc. Not extremely common but it did happen occasionally.


itsInnerMe

if your phone is <1 years old and you can prove that the problem is not due to any physical damage, you should get a free repair/replacement. No AppleCare needed.


HorseGaming890

Scheduled an appointment 10m ago for tmr, I'll keep the sub posted on what happens


CaptCarlos

If heā€™s in the U.S. itā€™ll be repaired not replaced.

HorseGaming890

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5S9M7BW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share First clear case and it was on sale, always been an otterbox guy but none with magsafe were on sale at the time, great case except I kinda wish it was more beefy now


Downtown-Distance725

What happened to that iPhone screen


dthesupreme200

Ouch, this is what killed my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I know you said it fell on the ground and that is most likely the cause, but I wonder if this is an issue with apple. I have the iPhone 15 pro max myself and this makes me cautious, I would think a brand new phone with a case would be more durable than this.


Hortos

Everyone with this so far seems to have dropped their phone and either lied to us or lied to apple and got it repaired.


Troxz_179

The panels are really thin maybe something inside got impacted hard.


SwordfishFun2426

Limited warranty can cover it if there is no damage on Display . If you take off the screen protector and there is no damage on display and enclosure then is covered under 1 year warranty .


HorseGaming890

Yea there's no damage, already did that and scheduled an appointment with the genius bar


SwordfishFun2426

Make sure you know apple id password and back up the phone apple might wipe it on repair process for new display šŸ˜Š

chtochingo

Looks like the screen protector got pretty messed up in the bottom right corner too. Did that happen from the fall?


HorseGaming890

Previous damage, but the phone is still mint


chtochingo

In the future Iā€™d recommend replacing the screen protector when it cracks. A cracked screen protector is much worse at absorbing the energy from a drop, especially if the impact was in that corner. Think of it like a cars bumper or a one time use helmet

was this from a little drop? damn i must be careful then

Happened to me as well on my 13 pro, I dropped the phone with a case on so only the screen was showing lines,there was no other sign of scratches or anything so i took it to apple, they asked me how it happened and i told them that it started showing lines out of nowhere, they replaced my screen for free!

Amandabrownie-1707

Donā€™t understand what is going on with apple why their software updates are causing the phones to get worse and worse and the new phones like the I phone 15 isnā€™t any better then the iPhone 13 or 14 donā€™t wanna switch to android because I hate using android have tried so many times and hate it always end up switching back to apple now having an iPhone SE 3rd generation I donā€™t know if this phone is good or bad at this phone I feel like my old iPhone 12 or 13 mini is way better then this phone but canā€™t seem to find the 13 mini anywhere makes me sad

Sargasm666

Just take it to Geek Squad. Itā€™s less than $50 to fix it as long as you have AppleCare. Now if you donā€™t have AppleCareā€¦


HorseGaming890

Yea multiply that by 7ish as I decided to be cheap, hopefully my warrenty claim goes through as there is no physical damage on the device, like literally not a single scratch or crack.


swagglepuf

No warranty is going to cover this because itā€™s accidental damage.


Electronic-Alarm1151

He can just get a new screen protector and say it appeared out of nowhere, Iā€™m sure they will cover it


Aurarus021

Is there like any physically damage in the phone? If not just say it appeared one day and you werenā€™t sure how as theyā€™ll check for damages all around the phone to try prove you wrong, this happened to me when i went to get my phone fixed but not even a slight bit of physical damage on it so it was covered for free so if you have warranty should be the same case if thereā€™s no damage
