Anyone else noticing a ton of fingerprints on the back of their iPhone 5?

[Mr. RPG]

My backing hasn't chipped or scratched (yet) while naked, but it does get a ton of finger prints. Anyone else getting them? Not really a problem, but I was just curious.

Black shows fingerprints, white does not.

If everyone says no are you going to return your iPhone?

 

[erratikmind]

That's the nature of most things, which are black, unfortunately.

 

[TallGuy1970]

Yes, but now I have my case so they are a thing of the past.

 

[Applejuiced]

No, you should return it

 

[aDRock1154]

I notice a ton! I use my iPhone backwards all the time and all I see are fingerprints! It's madness I tell you...


/sarcasm

 

[GoodBoy]

Well that said I think iPhone 5 is much less prone to fingerprints than full glass front and back iPhone 4S was...

 

[urkel]

I haven't. but then again, I don't spend much time looking at the back of my phone.

The 4/4S showed fingerprints less because of the oleophobic-coated glass back, but it's not that bad on the black iPhone 5 if you wear it naked in your pants pocket, which is self-cleaning.

 

[LouieSamman]

It's not as bad as the iPhone 4 or 4s since the back of those are glass and attract a lot of finger prints

 

[dndandrea]

One of the many reasons i returned my black iphone 5 for a white one.

 

[JayLenochiniMac]

I disagree. The oleophobic coating on the glass back actually resists fingerprints better, unless you're coming from a 4/4S where it's worn off completely.

 

[meistervu]

definitely not a ton

Yup, definitely not a ton. I still could lift mine without any apparent effort.

 

[Mr. RPG]

I decided to get a case, however I will have to wait. It is a rather thin case, and it actually looks really nice (somewhat clear)

Until then, I will have to continue to baby it.

I don't have any chips yet, thank god, as far as I can see.

 

[TM WAZZA]

Look closer, you'll see a chip

 

[chakraj]

fingergate?

 

[iHeartapple2]

Hey has anyone noticed that if you touch your phone while your hands are wet it will leave moisture on your iPhone??? Should I call Apple and see if I can exchange it?

Why don't you people just enjoy your new iPhone and stop spending every second of the day looking for something to gripe about??

 

[Dstopsie]

Nope. No prints. Have white iphone 5

My 4S has absolutely no fingerprints and isn't a fingerprint magnet.

 

[garyp609]

I wear surgical gloves so I don't get any finger prints

 

[dchao]

Ouch, I just noticed there were tons of finger prints on my front display too

Should I return it?

 

[aleni]

yes and thats why i switched to white. looks cleaner and chamfer's is so shiny too. looks like a jewelery.
