@Ashley - My friend stuck with his iPhone (the one in the photos above) since this article was first posted in October 2008 and it just got worse until the “bubble” eventually crept all the way around the edge of the display. We took a trip to the Apple store a week ago to get a fault with my iPhone sorted and whilst he was there showed them his iPhone with the bubble defect and they replaced it on the spot. The Apple Genius said he’s never seen that fault before though, so mustn’t be very common.

All iPhone 3G’s should still be under original 12months warranty so just make a backup in iTunes and make the long 2hr trek to your nearest Apple store but make sure you make a Genius bar reservation online first.

I have the same problem. Also have the problem of an Apple store being two hours away, but I guess if I want it fixed I’ll have to make the trip. Mine’s on the left side though, working its way all the way down the side…getting progressively worse.

@Josh – Good to know, thanks for the info. My friend still hasn’t got to an Apple store yet but it’s reassuring to know you had yours replaced under warranty for cosmetic defects under the glass.

I called Apple Iphone support and they replaced my Iphone. Cosmetic defects under the glass screen are covered under warrenty .
