DON'T EVEN BOTHER READING THIS POST... JUST SKIP DOWN TO THE PICS IN THE POST BELOW
Hi Everyone,
I just received a replacement device for a yellow screen (the yellow screen phone was a replacement for a broken sleep/wake button ). I've made two observations about this phone that I would like to get some input on:
1. I noticed that the camera lens (inside) looks a bit "off center". I did a search online and found ONE picture that looks similar to what I'm seeing on this device:
It's a *tad* more off-center than in this picture but this is a good representation of what I'm seeing. It's almost as if it's not really off center but the little black surround is a little off. The camera seems to function OK however.
2. It rattles. Now now, hear me out. I'm familiar with the sleep/wake button being loose and having a slight rattle and the camera lens rattle. I'm actually very familiar with the lens rattle cause it was one of the first things I noticed about my first phone (but disregarded as normal after some web searches) however this rattle is present even if I lightly touch all buttons and put pressure on the lens iteslf. It still sounds like a lens rattle or perhaps the vibrator motor has a little more play. It's much more pronounced when it vibrates versus the one I'm sending back. It almost "buzzes".
So I'm asking the iphone enthusiast community if these "observations" are any cause for concern. My first iPhone 5 was perfect in every way and the screen was awesome. The sleep/wake button broke The replacement they sent me was NOTICABLY more yellow tinted than my orignal. I read a lot at night while laying in bed and the yellow (more yellow along the top) was distracting so I asked for a different one. These observations are from my 3rd (and last) iPhone. As an aside, this one also has a slight yellow tint to it and isn't a lot better (but still somewhat) than the 2nd one so I'm just going to deal with it.
I'm just concerned with the extensive rattle that is certainly not a loose button, AND the slightly "off" camera.
I would prefer constructive input/opinions but if you think I'm just being overly picky or "OCD", I'm OK with that as input as well. I appreciate getting the opinions of others who are as big of iphone fans as me!
