The iPhone 3G’s case redesign may be showing the effects of accelerated aging. Engadget is reporting hairline cracks on the cases of the iPhone 3G via the forums at MacRumors.
The cracks are more apparent on white casings, but can still be found on black iPhone 3Gs with a bit of searching, according to the article. It’s still unknown how common these stress fractures are. They are, for the most part, cosmetic, but a product like the iPhone 3G is designed to be beautiful. Posts on an Apple discussion forum seem to indicate that Apple is replacing affected iPhones free of charge.
