I have seen extra screw in stock iPhone 3GS and I have seen missing part in stock iPhone 4. I have seen finger prints in stock iPhones, especially iPhone 3G and 3GS.
#APPLE SUPPORT PHONE NUMBER FIX MY PHONE SERIAL NUMBER#
If still, with the problem you claim, then have the Genius show you the Yellow Sticker and show you exactly the serial number discrepancy. If you are very curious and have the time (make appointment) take your iPhone to another Apple Store (or same one) and ask the Genius (probably will be different person, could be same) to evaluate your iPhone again. Can ANYONE shed any insight as to why this happened and is anyone else having this issue?

I did not take it apart myself, I did not take it to any third party people, and literally the only time my phone was out of my possession when i bought it was when they took it in the back room to take it apart. I bought my phone brand new from the apple store, they took it out of the box in front of me and turned it on and everything, i know for a fact this phone was not refurbished or used in any way when i bought it. I know for a fact i did not do this and they proceeded to say how my warrenty was completely voided because the serial on the inside of the phone did not match the serial through itunes.

When I went into the store they took my phone apart and told me a yellow sticker was on the inside of the phone which PROVED that i had taken my phone (under warrenty) to a third party for them to fix. I knew I would do this so I bought apple care to ensure that even though my phone broke it would be somewhat covered. I recently took my 4S into the apple store seeing as I had dropped it without a case one too many times.
