i waiting in the queue for mine and picked up the 32gb black on launch day. got home and unboxed it only to find a chip on the side of my brand new phone. upset and disappointed would be an understatement. i went back today and they replaced my handset with a new one (after they told everyone 32gb was out of stock). When i opened the box infront of the apple sales guy we notices tiny specks of silver where the matte black had come off!! Cheap cheap nasty production! Samgung here i come!

Omg, buying new black iphone 5 will be a big risk.
This problem surely cause 2nd hand value drop by a lot. I better don't take this risk.

Iphone5 design for earphones just stupid - it prohibits someone using headphones and type at the same time
Keyboard is slightly skinnier than iPhone 4S and with 5 I need more tries to type the right word

plastic may have a cheaper feel to it but as you apple ppl are starting to see there is a reason behind why most company use plastic
it doesn't dent as it pops back to place
it dosent mark as easy because the colour is in the plastic
when plastic dose chip it dosent stand out as much as on alloy.
ppl do drop there phones and it does happen maybe apple should have a look at why most company are using plastic and only have glass on the front its because its more durable not because its cheaper.
as some ppl say cheap plastic well it seems to keep its looks better then the over priced alloy and at least the cheap plastic doenst come damaged out of the box.

First day of using the iPhone 5 and it already looked like it had lots of mileage haha. So much for premium quality. On your third month of using you'd probably mistaken it for a missing tool from your toolbox !

Well, that's just to show how 'cocky' apple; they don't want to use Google Map, cause they own Android & Motorola. Then some of the iOS users don't mind & still trying to defend stupid apple, by saying.. oh apple just release their own version of the map/iLost.
Then people that has bought the ip5, some said.. oh we don't mind that their 'brand new' phone has a little scratch/es on the phone, cause sooner or later it's going to get scratch anyways..LMAO!
Now it's time for steve jobs curse, from him lying about the antenna gate issue [you're holding the phone the wrong way, yes it's classic], the wi-fi, battery drain issue [we have the app for that], apple is the original inventor of a smartphone & its features, etc.
Being a bully; suing an online grocery store in Poland & Australia. Sued Samsung for copying of a rectangular form, rounded corners & colors?? LMAO!
