    Using my iPhone6S+ for 2months now and a display dimming issue has appeared. The dim though does not seem to cover the whole display but only a part of it as seen in the picture attached. How is it decided if the iPhone will go for a screen repair or a total device replacement?

    Sending in iPhone to Apple for battery replacement

    Sending in iPhone to Apple for battery replacement--will Apple always replace the phone itself instead of just the battery? I don't really want my phone replaced. Can I specify that they not do this? What are your experiences? Thanks.
