Has anybody seen this before? I'll try to put at a pic when I get home but if viewed under a bright light it appears I have a few hairline cracks under the screen. I run my fingernail across them to make sure it's not just scratches but I don't feel anything. I don't have apple care plus but it's still in the warranty. Always been in a case.

I would make a Genuis Bar appointment and get it looked at.

It might be a crack in the LCD, not the display glass, so the Genius Bar will be your best bet.

I have seen it, I am pretty sure I have one of those scratches - it's under the screen definitely not on it. I am super careful with my phone too. It's been a few months since I noticed it, since I really have to get under the right light to see it, (but it's clearly there when I do), I don't worry about it - I love my 6 otherwise and at this point I figure I would probably get a refurb if I took it in.

Let us know how it goes!

I finally took it in. They said its cosmetic and I would have to pay $109 for them to replace it. I'm not going to worry about it.

I don't want to turn this into an iOS v Android thing (I like both OS's) but I've never had this happen to an android phone before. It just gives me the impression that Apple devices are extremely fragile. Almost like they made it too thin for its own good. The 5 and 5s seemed like a little brick but these newer ones seem too thin.
