• With the number of recent threads from brand new users that we have observed in our Classifieds forum selling goods under questionable circumstances, we have instituted a new policy restricting new members of iLounge from posting new threads in the Classifieds forum until they have reached "Regular Member" status.

    New users become Regular Members once they have made 10 posts and been a member of the iLounge Forums for at least 7 days. Prior to this time, members may still read the Classifieds forum, and even respond to existing threads for items being sold by other members, but they may not create new threads advertising their own items for sale.

    This will hopefully help to protect our user community by discouraging fraudulent users from signing up and posting classified ads without having at least a very basic level of established membership in our forums.

    Obviously all users should still exercise due diligence when making use of our classifieds forums, but we hope that this restriction will help to decrease the number of blatantly fraudulent ads that we have been seeing in recent weeks.

    Please be sure to review our Classified Forum Policy for more information.

Is anyone else this unlucky?

Sometimes I wonder why I stick with Apple. Is it just me?
All except a couple of these were there straight out of the box. A couple happened after a while. None have ever been dropped or mistreated.

1. iPod Touch 1 - bricked by update
2. iPad 1 - light leakage
3. iPad 3 - blue line across screen
4. iPhone 4s - dent in bezel
5. iPhone 6s Plus (1st) - mark in screen, dust in camera
6. iPhone 6s Plus (2nd) - dust in screen, marks on aluminium, dot in middle of screen
7. iPhone 7 Plus (1st) - scratch under earpiece
8. iPhone 7 Plus (2nd) - 3 marks on upper antenna and mark near camera flash
9. iPhone 7 (1st) - scratch on screen
10. iPhone 7 (2nd) - scuff near flash

I think you take your Apple gadgets way too much for-granted. Try to take extra care of these. Only tip i got for you.


As I said the majority of these problems were straight out of the box. Even the ones that weren't and took time, they were never mistreated

I and the five others in my immediate family have owned many iterations of all the types of iPods, iPhones and iPads starting with version 3 of the iPod. Never had a problem with any of them but one--a Nano 7 that had its headphone jack stop working after about a year.

Dents or scratches out of the box? I'd send them straight back. The way I look at the phones especially is that I want them to last for 2 years and if I can sell it after that it's a bonus. I'm using it all day everyday so I wouldn't expect anything less than a few cosmetic imperfections.

I used to get really bothered by imperfections like this, but phones end up getting bashed/scratched/dropped with everyday use, so I've learned to live with it!
