What u mean by dot?

Erm, I duno how to explain.

At the back has 3 scuff marks or whatever it is, can be seen at a certain light angle. Even through I have a back case.

While at the screen, it has 3 dots which can be seen at a certain light angle too. I suspect is the coating. Because if I on the screen, there is no dust/dots on the screen.

I presume Apple manufacturers few million circiut boards and continues to manufacture them, independent of when the circuit boards actually get assembled into a phone.
The manufacture date is the day the phone was boxed. The manufacture date does not necessarily mean that the components inside are built in that week.
That's why some phones don't work fine even when manufactured at a much later date.

If the phone is box at week 38 meaning.... that the circuit inside are all before week 38.. now is week 42. Wonder why the phone was left sitting in factory for 4 weeks

Do update us on how your 3rd replacement set goes. I seem to find a pattern here. All the replacment new sets by Apple does not have any hissing issue (I went through 3 of them because of wrong colour) however the retail sets all seem to have issues. Funny thing is that both types of phones are new and not refurbished but retail sets seem to have a higher chance of issue.

Is the same thing.... sigh. They advise me get full refund then order again. I shld be placing a whole new order maybe next week. Must go and count auspicious timing liao lol

Not sure how more unlucky you can get but the 3 times I was sent a replacement phone (not retail), they all had no issues. If you don't mind a replacement new one, you can request from Apple or drop by Alab and get one. You can also test it out at Alab too

M is retail and N is replacement but new. F is refurbished set.

my iphone 6 (which i'm sure is refurbished, i swapped it through QCD early this year when the replacement sets must be refurbished) also starts with N, dont think that means brand new...

What's the defects you have this time?

N means replacement devices, which are most likely refurbished (either used or failed QC when first manufactured)

F are for devices that are sold as refurbished (i.e. Refurbished iPad, iPod, etc)

As such, we will never see an iPhone with the Model starting with F as they don't sell them refurbished.

Exactly the same as the previous 3. Phone get heated up at the right side near the lock button. Then there is hissgate but super serious like helicopter kind. Even when video down.... even when phone in home screen. When i first on the phone to put in sim card can alr hear... msg come in also have. In calls also have. Worse part is the video..... the sound of the hissgate is even louder than the whitenoise...

Hoping the new one i order can be week 40>
