I will! I called AT&T and they said they'd exchange it, but it's at work with her so I haven't done it. I also wonder if what they say on the phone and in person are different. And if they even try to charge a fee...ugh.
Maybe I'll use this thread for evidence.
Should be easy to see if it’s fake. I’ve yet to see a fake run iOS. Fakes run android with an iOS skin. If you open the app store it won’t open to Apples store it will go to Google. Plus no iMessage. If your phone has these, it’s real
If the box serial number matches the device serial number, I would not bother.
The Chinese FCC certification label may be been placed by accident. Some people here are just freaking out for no good reason.
It does not matter one bit about the serial number or of it being fake. The rear plastic cover has been removed and replaced, hence the bubbling you see in the image. This is a clear sign that the iphone has been tampered with and is not 'brand new' as is being claimed to be by the store. Hence the reason to take it back to the store for an immediate replacement.
Yes, all corresponds correctly.

This is what I'm worried about, exactly. On the phone, they claim to be able to exchange it.
Well I hope you figure this out. And hope they actually replace it for you.
Replaced! Wasn't as smooth as was indicated to me (they thought the serial numbers were different, and they needed some additional documentation) but they handled it very nicely and the new phone looks perfect!
Also a happy Fiance. He would have been in the dog house if something went wrong with the phone.
