Do they all rattle?

[bbydon]

Got my phone from the At&t store it was the last one. Driving home i noticed the rattle... sigh so i head to the apple store asked them about it. Told to make a genius appointment.... next one is sunday. So i went across the street to another At&t and he agreed to exchange it no problem. Checked to see if it rattled... I couldn't tell in the store. So got home... checked again and it rattles.... So i guess they all rattle, i don't know.

Are you talking about a 3G or a 3GS? The new "S" models tend to have more rattles. Everybody thought initially that it was from the auto-focus mechanism. I shook mine today and heard nothing until I flipped the silent switch.

All 3GS iPhones will rattle due to the autofocus mechanism.

False. Read my post above yours.

It's only the 3GS that has the issue.

My 3GS rattles near the camera, not the silent switch. So if it's not the camera, then what is it?

my 3g does and its common when i search online

my 3gs has no rattles at all for the people saying they all do, not true.

Well its not the end of the world, but i'm thinking its in more iphones...alot more.

Mine rattles. It's kind of annoying. I feel like I'm breaking it every time I set it on a hard surface. But all the ones at the Apple Store I went to yesterday rattled as well. I guess it's normal.

Not all rattle, but seems that majority do.

My 3G didnt rattle at all, but the vibrate switch on my 3GS rattles when the phone is on silent. I have checked about 8 iphones (including 3G) and only 2 didnt vibrate.

I am super OCD about certain things, but because everything else about my phone is just fine, I'm gonna learn to live with it.

Did you realize that you just said "I am super obsessive compulsive disorder about certain things..."? That doesn't make any sense.

[SFStateStudent]

Damn thing rattles, but everything else seems to be working just fine.....

 

[fhall1]

Yep...never noticed it before, but if I really shake my 3GS, it rattles a little (I have the silent switch on).

You must be kidding. At least I think you are.
