iSJ5, 23 Sep 2012what kind of fone is that? cheap plastic china or galaxy ph... moreiPhone is "made in China" too, look at the small print at the back. Everything is made in China... Well, almost. I have two Nokias, "Made in Finland" and "Made in Romania" and no QC issues on them. One of them is black plastic, one is stainless steel. Alluminum is for posers, that's the stuff you wrap food in.

NK, 23 Sep 2012But your missing the point here, your attacking another man... moreI see your point but you also are attacking another brand. And while we are being honest with each other, I haven't seen the one where they use a hammer.. on any of the videos actually.
They are all drop tests, and the iPhone is just so much more durable its not funny.
You have to understand, the Android army which comes out whenever a new iPhone comes out, attacks the iPhone 4's issues with durability, defending the cheap plastic finish - saying how durable it is and how bad the iPhone cracked screens are.
Wel,, here we see the latest release from Apple shows that they listened to the issues, and now have a phone that is just as, if not more powerful than anything on the market (which doesn't even matter to many iPhone users) - but also very durable.
Android users are quick to comment (1 day and over 400 comments on an article relating to poor finish on some phones??!? lol seriously..)
And my point is that Apple will GLADLY change it over for one that makes you happy, its not something you will be stuck with. Its not, something which defines the phone.
If Apple didn't exchange straight away for new one, id say ok, but really, all this hype because some people have to return their phones for another one because of what is minor to very minor scratch marks.
You tell me whats what or real then.

Hey guys did you check out the drop test.It was done by a guy who was bribed by the apple. He dropped apple iphone5 on the backside and s3 on face. That's the reason it's screen broked. During the drop test , when the guy dropped the s3 from ear, he again threwed it on face. This is the reason people love ijunk phone.

SGS3 had their crack hairline issue, htc has this chipping issue with their OneS/X? Now this? It is sad that these are High-end products you pay for a lot and you get a trivial issue? QC should be more careful.

Denzo, 23 Sep 2012Who cares. Apple has the best service ever. Any problems? T... moreBut your missing the point here, your attacking another manufacturers phone because the iphone 5 is supposedly stronger (yes i've seen the droptests and the hammer hits), in reality those tests dont count for nothing. who in their right mind will smash their phone with a hammer? Also if you drop your phone maybe it survives maybe it doesnt. The drop tests mean nothing as they are so inaccurate.
The point here is when unboxing a new phone regardless of manufacturer it should be pristine. Yes apple has a great service division, however this does not excuse them from sending out a finished product that has clearly failed QC, what else could potentially be wrong? I wonder what the percentage of purchases came from internet sales.
Once those deliveries are made and users find that they need to ship their phones back (assuming they arent near an apple center) then there is added delay/cost etc.
If the claimed $199 manufacture cost is true then the amount of 2nd/3rd/4th time returns will mean that there could be millions of dollars in returns and lost profits because a simple checking process was overlooked.

Who cares. Apple has the best service ever. Any problems? They'll send someone to pick yours up, and drop off a new one to you ASAP.
Its 100x tougher than the SGS3
