Several iPhone who snapped onto iPhones early when they were released are now reporting that their iPhones are having tiny bubbles under the glass layer. I’m not sure when this started, but a few users noticed this earlier, but didn’t bother much. But to make things worse, these bubbles apparently have multiplying nature.

The Good thing is that Apple is replacing every single iPhone thats caught up with ‘Chickenpox’ with  a brand new iPhone free of cost. Here are few selected quotes on what the users have to say on this problem :

“I have about 8 to 10 bubbles on my display. It doesn’t seem to affect functionality, but they are increasing in number and becoming an annoyance. I’m going to go for a replacement this weekend. It would be nice to get a 16 GB model,” Says an Engadet reader.

Apple Support Forums are buzzing with this issue, and it looks like its not a one off problem, which means Apple might end replacing quite a few iPhones.

• “I have 5 bubbles thus far and more as showing up as the days go on”
• “I just found one one my phone, its in the upper right hand corner under the battery icon. “
• “I had this problem with my iPhone on the top-left corner of the screen. I brought it to the Apple Store; 15 minutes later, I leave with a brand new phone. A++++ customer service!!
• “I have the same issue and I’m going to be taking my phone in tomorrow (Saturday, January 19, 2008) to see if I can get it fixed.”

The actual reason for these bubbles is not known yet, but I believe that it has something to do with constant temperature changes in the iPhone, bug again assuming they are Air bubbles. So If your iPhone has caught up with Chickenpox, head to the nearest Apple Store and they’ll be happy to replace it for you.
