Default Dead pixel? Stuck pixel? What are these? [Pictures attached]

So I exchanged my iPhone today and walked out with, what I thought was a perfect phone.

I was watching a show on the iPhone a while ago and noticed two small, bright spots at the top of the phone.

Here are some pictures to describe what I see.





Can someone tell me what exactly these are?
I am hoping to exchange it yet again tomorrow.

I have those too. Not pixels, pixels ar eon the screen. I usually only see those when its dark, very dark. It could just be openings in which the glow from inside is escaping.

Well, as you can see...these can be seen both in the dark and in the light.

I hate this.

Hey everyone,
Just joined, awesome site! Everyone seems real helpful to one another. I have the 8gb version, and noticed those marks today even before reading this thread. I was actually thinking about exchanging this tomorrow, but it seems like this might be a general issue, what do you guys think. P.s. this is my 4th iphone, 1st came with a piece of the top glass missing, 2 and 3rd had dead pixels. I also have the white dot version. This is crazy how this thing keeps on coming up with problems.

Wow, that really stinks.

I hope they exchange it for me tomorrow, I don't see why they shouldn't.
Having spent a good chunk of money on a phone like this I feel like it should have no imperfections. But that's just wishful thinking.

I'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow.

I also have a little light coming out on the bottom right corner around the same area.

I just don't want to return this thing and get stuck with dead pixels, bad battery, the other problems that would require more then some black sharpie ink and a pin, which would prob fix this.
