Really! So this proves that not all of them do this.

I'm not sure how people are saying this is normal, when you do a video and all you can hear is click click click when you play it back that is not normal at all,

My 5s has never rattled, neither has my moms, my girlfriends, nor my friends. I still say people must have supersonic hearing, exaggerating the sound wildly, or has back luck with iPhones.
Wow your very lucky, and I don't have supersonic hearing lol mine is pretty loud, do you know what your production date is?
Are you shaking it while you take the video? That isn't going to make for a very watchable clip. Does it rattle when you're holding it steady and making slow, deliberate movements(like you should when you're filming something)?
Each phone is different. But strange. Every iPhone and iPod Touch I've had has rattled.
I went in about the "rattle". It was much loose than "as intended". I was turned away saying its normal since the person that helped me showed me his iphone5 rattled also.
My 5s was rattling like something was loose. It was the power button for sure. The only way I can reproduce that rattle was to amplify it with the custom long long vibration. Got my phone replaced on the spot.
Have you tried setting a custom vibration with a long vibrate then shake it a little while holding it like you are on a phone call. If you can replicate it, it will get replaced.

Well my 8th iPhone 5 does have a really small rattle. I held the lock, volume buttons and mute switch and there was a rattle however it isn't bad. If it is pretty bad, I'd take it to Apple just to be sure.
Fitgirl - I'm not sure on the production date, how can I find out? Mine and my moms were both purchased in early November. My girlfriend got hers right after launch, and one of my friends got his just 2 weeks ago.

Fitgirl - I had a feeling you would be able to exchange. I don't think issues like that are the norm at all. Glad you have a fully functional 5s now that you can enjoy!!
My question is, if the iPhone rattles when you shake it what kind of video are you taking that would cause it to be heard in the recording?
iPhone 5s rattle
I actually own the iPhone 5s and mine rattled as all of yours do. I actually took my phone back to Verizon and they pulled ten devices from their stock and let me see that they all rattled as well. I've found a case that eliminates the rattle completely. It's the Lifeproof fre' case. It completely eliminates it and gives just as much protection as the Otterbox Defender.

Just had my phone replaced due to a clicky screen and the new phone rattles as did the old one. The new one was made in the 3rd week of January and the old one in November. it's not an issue that bothers me really as im using the Apple leather case which helps slightly and i only notice it if i shake the phone and sometimes when i set it down.
