It looks like anyone who wants to get an iPhone 5 would be better served at this point to wait for the 5S/6 in a few short months. The possibility of different colors, display sizes, better displays, NFC, better camera and who knows what else is just too much to ignore. I know these are just rumors, but last year at this time there was a rumor that there would be two iPads released in 2012.

Many would argue that games are one of the most "normal" things you can do with an iDevice. What's "normal" for you, may not be for someone else. As a matter of fact, my 9 year old son and my 10 year old daughter each have an iPod Touch. They "normally" use it to play games and rarely use the other features.

Well....do they have this issue?

Seeing responses from people that play video games that don't have issues.

If you play Fruit Ninja, then it *is* normal usage.

----------



?

But it doesn't say that. It says, very specifically, what this particular new technology is.
I know what the issue is (tried myself).
But I can't feel any problem with Fruit Ninja on my iPhone5 and I can still got 1k+ in arcade mode:cool:
You don't need "that" fast or may be you are likely to have lower score?

For the Infinite Blade...
Well I don't play it on iPhone (Of course on iPad). So I have no comment here.
But I can't feel the chopping is faster in gaming when I have a more faster move.

So the only possible reason we need "that" fast is gaming.
But still I can't find any gaming which can have any benefit with "that" fast.
This is a bug which need to fix, sure. But seems this fast moving is not that normal usage.

True,

But even the fruit ninga players are saying they don't have an issue.

So, my original point was about how many people are actually having the issues that where reported.

He was referring to a normal usage for a grown adult.

You assume that games are not "normal" for adult on iOS. Most video games in general on any platform are played by adults these days. The whole "video games are just for kids" thing happened in the 80's and died in the 90's.

I don't have "fast-swipe" issue with my iPhone 5; however, I have had issues with screen not responding when connected to the charger.

This is caused by a third party charger which does not function as well as it should. Prolonged use could damage your phone.

I think you have also factored out the rumoured 6months' wait.

My iPhone 5 display works great.. Don't know what problems they are referring to..

In some cases the touch screen is a little tough and users have to tap hard to get it to work, I myself had one of those, but then Apple replaced it and the new one is working fine. I was tapping on buttons and nothing was happening, until I did it very slowly, but it can be annoying.

Replacing the entire screen? I am not sure if that is it or maybe the oleophobic coating is the issue?

We were speaking about different meanings of 'normal' )
