    A video posted to YouTube last night appears to show the _______ separating from the _______ of a T-Mobile-branded _______. There's no obvious damage to the unit, but there's quite a bit of discoloration around the edges. It's unclear whether the _______ belongs to the poster of the video, and whether the _______ was obtained through official channels.

    A Twitter search suggests that this isn't an isolated incident, though: "Just bought my _______ last week and it's already _______ on the _______. smh," reports one user. "Looks like there's _______ coming out of the _______ on my _______," says another.

    This could spell big trouble for _______

    If this is a widespread issue, it could spell trouble for _______, which relies on the _______ as an enormous revenue driver. Any delays or recalls could cost _______ hundreds of millions, if not billions — particularly with the launch of _______'s _______ around the corner.

    We reached out to T-Mobile for comment, who referred us to _______. "If customers experience any problems with their _______, we encourage them to contact customer service immediately so we can help diagnose and solve the problem," a ________ spokesperson tells us. Variants of the _______ are also available on Sprint and AT&T. Verizon is rumored to be launching it as well, but there's nothing official yet.

    There's no evidence that this is a _______gate-level problem at this point, but needless to say, it could have fence-sitters rattled.
