I really hope so - I definitely will be a little gutted - seeing as we all paid so much for the beauty![]()
I'm happy to wait a week or two and pick one up then when this is resolved

Just read this
I just got off the phone with apple support. I was escalated after my refusal to go buy a bumper. The tech submitted the issue to engineering. She said they are getting a lot of calls describing this issue. She recommended buying a bumper. I told her i wasn't willing to do that and would simply return the phone if that was my only option. She asked me to wait until next Monday to see what the engineering response will be. She said that if the answer is the bumper, she would send me a bumper (I assume she meant at no charge).
If Apple are fobbing people off with that as a fix that is absolutely outrageous.
