The phone was sold out through Christmas, although shipping times improved significantly as we got closer to the holidays, and most Apple stores received more stock on a daily basis for walk-in customers since the November 3rd launch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">But the iPhone X didn\u2019t feature any manufacturing issues that would warrant any negative publicity. There\u2019s no \u201cgate\u201d scandal attached to the iPhone X, which proves how far Apple has come. But some users have discovered what may prove to be the trolliest reason to have their devices replaced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Apparently, the iPhone X mute switch and bezel gap can pull out your hair, facial hair included. It looks like this is a real problem for many iPhone X users, and some of them aren\u2019t happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">What\u2019s interesting is that Apple will apparently replace your iPhone X if this is causing any distress. Here\u2019s what a Reddit user said about the experience:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Does anyone else have a problem with their phone pulling their hair? Mine pulls my hair several times a day while it\u2019s held up to my head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">It\u2019s really starting to piss me off. I called Apple, and they will do a replacement on it, but I am just curious if mine is a fluke or if it is a design issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">A similar thread exists on Apple\u2019s own forum. Here\u2019s a fix for the problem, according to a user:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">It has happened to me so many times, I\u2019ve lost count. It hurts and is a bad design flaw! I\u2019ve \u201csolved\u201d it by buying a protective case that I needed anyway. The phone was too slippery too and constantly slid around. I hope the protector will help with this problem too! Good luck!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Others complained on Twitter about the same issue:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">As an iPhone X user myself, I think I did experience the issue once when the iPhone pulled out hair from my sideburns but didn\u2019t give the incident too much importance. I thought I was holding it wrong \u2014 and yes, it\u2019s got a case and everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">It definitely didn\u2019t bother me enough to actually wonder whether there\u2019s something wrong with the design. That said, it sure looks like Apple is willing to replace the iPhone for this particular problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/bgr.com\/2018\/01\/10\/iphone-x-hair-pulling-issue-replacement\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/this-is-probably-the-worst-reason-to-have-your-iphone-x-replaced.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is probably the worst reason to have your iPhone X replaced The only problem that plagued the iPhone X launch was stock availability.
