I believe that your camera lens came contaminated from factory as it is really not easy for dust to enter into the camera unit in our day to day usage.. Therefore, a case will not help in your situation if your replacement was already dusty to begin with

When I got it swapped last week no dust in it possible to get dust in a dust free phone
I did that already they lady who gave me the replacement told me it was refurnished and tested
It is highly possible that dust were already in the unit, just not in the position that's visible... Either that or you need to really clean up your place. If you look at teardown videos, it's pretty hard for any dust to get into the camera compartment.. Plus the phone is rated IP67 so dust are supposed to be trapped in or outside.. Of course, there's also a possibility that you might have gotten a defective unit
I doubt she would know the ins and outs of a device prior to it being in her store to be honest. What version of iOS 10 are you running?
A second defect jet black sucksIt is highly possible that dust were already in the unit, just not in the position that's visible... Either that or you need to really clean up your place.

The dust can be inside the phone before it is sealed up. That is likely what is happening here.
I will have to play the exchange game till I find a perfect one

10.0.2
and if you do not find the perfect iphone?
I know you will keep trying. This iPhone must be a very important position for you.
Mine (IP7) does it but it's definitely a software bug. In fact, I have a theory of what causes it. The dock colour is semi transparent, so when you open an app and then close it, its just a little bit of lag from the colour of the app that was opened blending in with the dock colour. Then when the opacity of the dock kicks in and it corrects itself, it causes the flicker. Not sure if that makes any sense but that's my theory - the flicker is basically just colour correction to account for the dock's transparency. Definitely software related.
I want a perfect iPhone with no defects at all and I really want to get a life proof case so this issue with dust don't reappear

You might have the 6s plus
No it's an iPhone 7 on iOS 10.0.2. I had a 6S previously on iOS 10.0.2 that did it as well.
After they replace my 6 sept 2015 input in life proof case and no dust appeared till the 6s plus

I tired a 6 and other iPhone 7 and it does not do it
If I do that Apple not responsible on the public beta since the store does not support it
That's because it is a software bug.
Maybe you shouldn't own technology. It seems to be quite stressful for you.
Maybe it depends the color of the phone it only affect certain colors or batches of the phone
You can downgrade to the current iOS 10 release if you need to bring the phone back.
LOL. The OS doesn't perform differently based on colour of phone.. It performs based on the SoC and PowerVR GPU.. just wait for it to be fixed in next update (if they fix it)
For me a life proof case is way overkill. Ruins the phones feel and looks. Makes the screen hard to use and just overall too big. Still think you dust came inside your phone and a case will not help that.
I know you got to do what you are going to do. The Apple store should not give you any problem about replacing your phone if it has dust in the lens. Hope they have one in stock.

It does not matter with this phone as you are going to replace it due to dust on the camera cover.
Yes but I took two days to get a replacement and I can't return it since I did AT&T next plan for 24 months
And i'm out, you need to go for a walk and step back from trvial things like this
