I bought a white one about a week ago from Verizon... can't seem to find anything wrong with it. Apparently there is, I just can't seem to find it.
Jesus christ. People like OP give Apple fans a bad name. 5 phones, really? Is someone gonna die because your beloved iPhone has a scuff on the back of it?
After going through nearly 15 4S's three iPhone 5s was not bad.
So many people are using iPhones that have flaws and don't even know. Apple could save itself a lot of money if they simply upped quality control. Maybe that's what they're doing as my iphone 5 was made this month.
So paying 900 dollars for something that should be flawless means nothing?
Nice input "fanboy"
until my case arrives wednesday this week, i'll sport my iphone 4 for now. now time to play with the phone itself and see if everything works, which i'm sure will be fine.
Too bad your case is going to scratch the anodised coating far more than using it without a case.
Also, if you're not going to use it until your case arrives, then honestly thats just sad and you probably shouldn't be buying a device that you can't afford in the first place.
No just check yourself in or seek counseling
and thisThey all worked! Just a few scuffs. Anyone that would return an item, not once, not twice, not 3, not 4, but 5 or more times because of a few scuffs is not mentally balanced. This is a true first world problem, and people who are so hung up on the looks of a damn phone, have serious issues in life.
I strongly disagree with this Approach. Why is it OK for Apple to advertise their "magical & revolution" products, hyping them over the moon, then deliver mediocrity at best.My advice: live with it, if its small cosmetic things.
This. A phone seems to be the least of your worries.
and this
its an expensive phone.
ur saying u would buy a car with a few nicks and scratches on it? please

Is this for real or just a joke.? OCD is curable.
200 or 900 it should be flawless 100%.
I would return 50 if i had to. That is pathetic that apple is shipping damaged units.
The op is not ocd at all, he deserves a perfect phone.
I have been lucky. Had a 3 4 4s and 5 all were perfect out the box.
Telling someone to put a case on the phone to hide the scratches needs to have there head examined.
Would you buy a new bmw and put a bra on it to hide nose scratches ?
I would call apple corporate and raise ***** he'll.
You guys who are bashing Mr. Chuck Norris - you are the ones who cannot afford an iPhone without a contract so zip it. If I get an unlocked one it means I WHOEVER gets it CAN afford it, ok dudes? Last month I got a Tag Heuer 2500$ watch and what did I do when it arrived you ask? I inspected it. Stop bashing ppl who buy full price unlocked just because you're cool with your 200$ subsidized iPhone. Nuff said. Beggars can't be choosers.
Tl;dr - enjoy your 2-3 year locked, subsidized, scuffed up 100-200$ iPhone

"It's made with a level of precision you'd expect from a finely crafted watch - not a smartphone"
Translation: iPhone = Rolex of smartphones
Well said, people who purchase subsidized phones don't feel as much pain because they don't realize how much the damn phone costs; sometimes some Americans are just so dumb

That's quite an insult to Rolex
Lol. No, but seriously the way Jony Ive talks in the commercial...he's setting a very high standard for this phone so people expect them to deliver. Remember to bash the idiots at Foxconn too not just Apple. If only Foxconn was a German factory. I don't think I've ever seen anything of bad quality coming out of Germany but since Apple is American...it's Made in China of course. I remember back in the 80s when Nike was Made in USA. Now THAT was quality unlike today. In other words America is the birthplace of capitalism and capitalism = max profit baby with 0 investment. I remember when Germans wanted to boycott a German company who wanted to move its factory to China so the factory stayed. I think we'll see a breed of flying pigs before we'll see the next Apple product designed in California and made in the USA.
Yup definitely miss the good ol days when you can purchase a product and actually feel good about its quality. But as Steve said once to Obama, "those jobs simply aren't coming back".
Unfortunately, now for apple it's all about having to
Live up to the analyst's expectations, maximize profit, litigate with Samsung
Personally I'm looking forward to the downfall of apple, not because I'm a hater, but I think they've been getting too big and too arrogant over the past few years.
Just buy a Galaxy Note 2 and be done with the poor QC. Better and cheaper and properly next gen
