It really isn't an issue. It's the camera optics inside the phone that's rattling. For auto focus and such...
I've replicated that on approximately 50 phones so far. I'm not concerned.
Yea but how bad are they? That's the real question

On every iPhone 5 I've held, this has been apparent. When you tap the back hard, you can feel something in there.
I've held 7. Mine, my replacement, my mother's, and 4 at the Apple store - looking for scuffgate similar to the one that was on mine.
booked an genius bar appointment, tbh im in uk and i bought it from a carrier (not sim free at an apple store) so they wont be able to replace it till next week, or its dependent on wether my local apple store has them back in stock.
but everything works, and no scratches so I question if its worth replacing it ?! as some have stated this as normal, some have said it shouldnt, and also alot of different answers as to what it could be ..
mine is defo not the battery tho, that seems alot more serious and my phone works fine.
ill see what the genius bar say just to make sure.
Hey! Come back and update us as I'm curious what you hear from them.
Here's some more fodder for our topic at hand. I found this post interesting:

this has been an issue sine the 4s.. like everyone has been saying it is the autot focus mechanism.... not an issue.
go into apple store and test the other iphone 5's i bet they all do it.
Yep... It's something that has some size and weight to it, not a switch or focus. I wish I had the proper tools to open it, has to be the battery.
my brothers shutter just stopped working. Im sure it had something to do with this rattle
just follow up here: I made an appointment for the genis bar, showed himn the rattle and with eyes wide he told me "this isnt normal, ill BRB"
gave me abrand new 16gb black.
Same ****.
what did it sound like inside ?
was there any problems with the phone its self ?
the replacement you got 'rattles' too?
Yea but how bad are they? That's the real question
Anyone have a slight rattle in there phone? I'm sure this has been asked many times sorry for a new thread.
Is it possible its the camera lens? Does it have a camera lens?
If thats that problem does yours make a slight noise when you jostle or shake it?
