A few of my friends are getting 4S' again and selling their iPhone5, they are so disappointed with new phone. They say it just not Apple quality they used to buy. Your thoughts?

i could never imagine downgrading back to a 4 or 4s again.
Oh yeah, I heart LTE
Im a huge self confessed Apple fanboy, and to be honest, im a little annoyed at the moment. I have wifi issues, camera issues...........hopefully both can be resolved with iOS patches, but it still means i cant use my wifi at home. I didnt have any issues with my 4S, thing just worked.........well.
The joys of being an early adopter huh?
Not necessarily; it's just bad luck. Faulty products can come along at any time in the release cycle. My 4S I got at launch suffered from a faulty logic board and got replaced and subsequent replacements had other issues like display light bleeds, loose home buttons, loud vibration rattle buzzing.
I am very happy with the quality of my first iPhone 5 compared to my 4S but that's just me. Everyone has their own different experiences and views obviously. I don't think anyone is qualified to make a blanket statement that one is universally "better built" than the other.

I kinda miss the glass backing of my old 4S.. the back of the 5 is such a scratch magnet
I must say I'm partly disappointed with my iPhone 5. The build quality isn't great and it's all down to the anodized aluminium back.
Since the 21st it's been in a case with a screen protector and when I removed the case to see if I'd had taken any scuffs (Not dropped once) I was very surprised, every edge of the phone has a scuff where the aluminium's natural shine has come through and the back has also taken a few marks where there has been lint or whatever jammed between the case and the phone. To say this has been covered by a case and not exposed once in less than two weeks, I'm not happy about it.
According to Phil Schiller this is bound to happen with any aluminium product.....Where are the dints and scuffs on the band of my iPhone 3GS/4/4S then Phil? I don't remember having any.
I will be keeping the phone as I do love the other design aspects such as the screen size, weight and the speed of it. I compared the speed to my 4S and there's a massive improvement. The problem I have is that Apple have always made beautiful products that stay beautiful (as long as you don't drop them in the toilet RIP iPhone 4). This is the first product that I've been annoyed with. Apple Made a mistake and won't admit it. They'll change the manufacturing process without anyone knowing and the early adopters will suffer like always.

The band on the 4/4s is stainless steel. And there were many many reports of the band getting scratched to feck when using a bumper. It was only after they applied a coating to the band after "antennagate" that it became less prone to scratching.
