Hi,

I have an iPhone 8 Plus, which I bought last September.

A while ago I noticed a tiny dot on the screen that won’t go. I believe it’s a dead pixel (or sub pixel) - it is very small and quite faint.

My warranty expires in a few days and I’m wondering if it’s worth getting this fixed? To be honest it’s so small that you have to look for it, and that’s the reason I haven’t bothered doing anything about it up to now.

Is it worth getting this done under the warranty or am I just being overly fussy? I think most people wouldn’t even notice it, but it’s one of those things that’s annoying knowing it’s there.
 
I'm not sure they will do anything for a single dead pixel...?
I know with TVs etc it has to be a certain number of pixels before they will consider it a warranty job, not sure with Apple.....
