Hi,

I recently purchased the iPhone 5 (this is my 1st iPhone!) and will be receiving it Tues. Dec. 11th. I would appreciate any feedback from those members who purchased their phones in late Nov/till present as I am a little intrepid after reading posts (for example about scuff marks, dents,scratches,etc) from those who purchased their phones in September/October.

Thanks in advance for your response! :)

Got mine yesterday from AT&T. Went with the white because the scratches are less visible. Mine was in perfect condition. Battery life is great even with the latest update. I don't know if its because the update was factory installed--but there are a few on here who have issues with this new update.

Got mine last week at apple. Perfect. I had returned two others with issues and waited a month to get another. I'm thankful.

Got mine mid Nov and was in great condition.

Just be careful with it. That anodized aluminum is extremely delicate and will chip! Be sure to get a case with your phone or like many have, you'll regret it the day you see chips.

Got my black 5 Nov 12th and it was in perfect condition. Girlfriend got her white iPhone Nov 20th and the first one was scratched up but they had another one in back at AT&T store and it was in perfect condition.
