imperfection is perfectly normal

    That is really hilarious even my nokia n97 mini which is 4 years old doesn't do that! They always have a reason to every defect their phones have. At least be honest with those poor people that waited in queues to get their phone. This is really shameful!

      Apple should give every iphone5 user an umbrella to take in the sunlight.

        Michael, 08 Oct 2012iPhones and Samsung flagship Galaxy phones are very famous ... moreAn Apple fan will always remain an Apple fan because he can't justify moving to another phone considering all his history is based on useless iPhone Jinx and promotion based on EGO.
        And Android fan will remain an android fan because he knows what is good and is getting used to new technologies every single day. An android fan is not hating iPhone because it is an iPhone but because it is almost the same iPhone that was an icon years before. No improvement whatsoever...

            My proper camera painted a purple haze across all my photos for a while, turned out to be that the lens was substandard.
            Pretty sure Apple shouldn't be insulting its customers over what's clearly a hardware defect.

I bet you could not find a smartphone with 1.2 GHZ CPU, Weight under 120 g, thickness lower that 9 mm and resolution more that 1000px. Just one phone has these 4 together and it is iphone 5. Suck on it.

                      iPhones and Samsung flagship Galaxy phones are very famous in Singapore. They wouldn't even care much about this.. Important is you are able to use the phone. iPhone fan will always be an iPhone fan, Android fan will always be an Android fan

                                Suddenly all the criticism about the Galaxy S2's "red spot" in some of its photos is laid to rest...

                                      no purple haze on any other device i saw yet...
                                      even if there is a bright light source in the frame

                                      apple are such errr they will never say that an issue is really just an issue every thing is normal and caused by non-normal use may i ask what the !@#$?

                                      battery issue - you are using to much power
                                      purple haze - dont take pictures of the sun
                                      scratches - ho come on this is normal you guys
                                      antena issue - you are not holding this right
                                      other issues - you dont need to use that phone its only for the saying "i have an iPhone"

                                      as i said before may i ask what the !@#$%?
