An issue with my iPhone! Halp!

Hello everyone, I am having an issue with my iphone, today I woke up and saw 3 brown tranparent bubbles under my iPhone screen. They were literally under the screen. It's on the very top left hand corner. You can't see it unless there is a bright light shinig on my iPhone. The good thing is it's not on the monitor where the LCD images appear. However I am vey diasapponted. Now, is anyone noticed this issue? I've heard many people have the same issue on google. I was thinking to go at the apple store for a replacement. But I am concerned if i'm going to lose all my contacts and pictures and apps if they were to give me a replacement. I frequently backup my iPhone on iTunes, so I should be fine right?

If you back up you should be fine.

You will be fine. Just plug it into itunes and it will ask you if you want to restore from a backup.

Btw did any of u get that problem with bubbles under the screen? And all I gotta do is just walk in an apple store with my original receipt right?

Are you sure they are really bubbles? I have three brown spots that you can only see in the bright light right next to the ear piece. I have found out that these are actually the sensors that turn the display off while you are talking on the phone with it held next to your ear. As a test call you home phone and then place your finger over the area you are concerned with.

 

[IcEWoLF]

Yeha,, thats its. So you think thats normal?

 

[JAG72]

I would have to guess yes but I just am not sure. I personally am not concerned with it.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I dont see anything like that on my screen. If you are concerned take it to the apple store and let them take a look, after all the worst they can do is laugh at you.

I only see mine in the brightest of lights and normally only in the sunlight.

 

[IcEWoLF]

Scott, give that a try in a very bright area.
I see, other people said the same thing, weird eh?

its the sensors they put in there, if its right next to the ear piece, those are sensor holes...here is a larger image

Cool, ok, I got too attached to this phone, didn't feel like to get another one.
Never dropped it, not even a scratch, I take care of this thing more than my car believe it or not!

yeah, i noticed those holes on mine the other day, only visible in the sunlight. I wondered what they were.
