Fair to ask for iPhone exchange?

[y4m]

I have a new iPhone. It seems to be a little funny about charging. Like sometimes I plug it in and everything is solidly connected, but it doesn't start charging until I unplug and replug once or twice. And last night I plugged it in when I went to bed and it started charging, but then when I work up this morning it was only at 98%--still on the charger, no longer charging. Most of the time it's totally normal, but there are weirdnesses like this.

Would it be obnoxious of me to take it back to the store and ask for a replacement? I'll be stuck with this phone for 2 years--I don't want one that is even a little shady from the start.

Are you sure it's the phone and not the cable? I got a bad lightening cable with my iPhone. They replaced it no problem.

Interesting--I guess it could be the cable--I wouldn't have any way to differentiate.

Yeah, we bought two so we were able to determine it was cable issue. His cable worked. Mind did not.

Make a genius bar appt. They'll figure it out.

It can't hurt to ask. I took mine back to the store because the home key would stick sometimes. They gave me a replacement, no questions asked.

Definitely go to the genius bar to get it looked at.
