The physical buttons on the iPhone 5 seem rather stiff and harder to press than the iPhone 4 , have you noticed this?
It feels a bit less functional and fluid, more clacking and louder also, not as easy to double click to lift dock

Also not sure about the overall feel, think the 4 feels nicer, and would have preferred more width also maybe 4.3 16:9 would be perfect size

Speaker is definite improvement though, louder and some bass

Wondering whether to return mine though, two small nicks showing tiny silver spots through the black, but not noticeable, I am thinking whether to just return it because its not really worth the money, I just think the screen is a bit too small still width wise

Also noticed the dock lifts quicker on iPhone 4 than on 5 both running ios6 which I though was odd, also maybe a slight lag in scrolling around a picture compared with the four screen

Couple of days naked use with the black one and it seems like the coating is quite robust which makes me wonder if the Foxconn workers were intentionally damaging the phone as a form of silent protest as I read someone else speculate. The stories of the workers getting beaten, clearly pushed to the limits also leaves a very bad taste in the mouth when buying an apple product.

Hmm, not sure what to do, have another few days to send it back if I decide
