Faulty connection in iphone 4s?

I was repairing my iphone 4s earlier because the touchscreen isn't working when I noticed a faulty connection in my phone. Basically the connection the one running from the volume buttons to the digitalizer. The problem is a bit of copper is exposed. Is this the problem which is causing the touch screen to not work?

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone 4S - faulty battery? Haven't had my iPhone for a year yet and the battery drains so quickly it's impractical to use. Will Apple replace it, seeing as its still under warrenty and it isn't because I've damaged anything?

It's not that bad but is getting worse and I'm disappointed a lot. I had it since October 20 and the problems just started. I have booked an appointment at the genius bar for sunday afternoon. Do you think they'll repair or replace this?
  • New iPhone is my battery faulty? I've had this restored iPhone 4S for 2 days now, it shuts itself off with a screen asking to be charged even when there's like 40 percent battery left, then today I had 100 percent battery and it's gone down 27 percent in 20 minutes of using it, is something wrong with this pone and should I return it or are all iPhones battery's like this?
  • IPhone 5 is faulty. Help? Apple? I've had my iPhone since November and all of a sudden both my home button and lock button are suddenly sticking and not working very well unless I put extreme pressure on it. If I book am appointment with apple, do they fix it for free, or do they give me a replacement, or do I have to pay? Mine is on contract, and I've heard about people complaining to apple that their phone is faulty and apple just giving them a new phone.
