The "iPhone 5" is the very best & & & the worst iPhone ever too! Its full of problems. Very first unite was defective with its aluminum unibody i.e. dent, broken sleep/wake button, purple tint on camera. Now first unit's issues has been gone & new issues has been introduced i.e. slow to respond or hangs home & sleep/wake button, camera not functioning randomly or permanently.

Here is my experiences with iPhone 5:
1. I have brought an iPhone 5 (most provably one of the first unite) immediately when its was released with some dents. After two or three months I got problem with sleep/wake button. It was broken due to very soft material used on it.
2. So, then Apple had changed my iPhone with new one. Surprisingly that one had not any dent & I noticed they have changed the sleep/wake, silent buttons & the volume rocker with different materials which is more dark (black) and hard. But I discovered a big issue that, the home and the sleep/wake buttons was not responding randomly. The screen went off & couldn't be turned on due to not responding buttons.
3. Again, Apple had replaced my iPhone with new one. That time camera didn't work. So, I had sent that to the Apple again.
4. And Yes, they have change that again with another new device without asking any question. But after two days I have gotten the problem again that is " the home and the sleep/wake buttons was not responding randomly" and this time is more frequeint!

So, now what should I do? Will I go to Apple's Genius Bar again to get another new faulty device???

    iphone, 14 May 2013still the iphone 5 is faster then s4 :)Yeah in your dreams! iphone 5 can't barely beat Snapdragon S4 Pro, and you think it can beat Galaxy S4? Admit it you are just an Android hater thats all! I have both iPhone and Android and I must say they are both equally great in their respectful places

What more the inside of s3???? My friend just bought housing to protect her s3 but in a frequent removal of housing part of it fades...

                      Just look at the specs.

                            D'Angpet, 13 May 2013iPhone5 is still made the same way like a decade ago: made ... moreMaybe its the fake apple product made from china. Even though its asia apple product dont come in cheap price and you cant just buy it anywhere, the authentic apple product can be bought in big malls or cellular provider.

S4 has air shuffle which I like bout it and they made the shape more square and flat compare to s3. How about wait for the next iphone maybe its even better.
