Okay, so I'm on an iPhone 5, trying to download apps I already own, the install (or iclould) button does nothing. I can tap away at it and there is no response, the "press" animation plays but it doesnt actually do anything. It doesnt matter if I'm in the app page, search screen or purchased apps list, nothing.

I've tried restarting the app store and hard booting the phone. Nothing. Anybody else having this problem?

EDIT: Actually I can't download any apps, if I try getting a new one, the green download thing will pop up and it will ask for my password. Then, nothing.
 
Try signing out of the App Store and back in. If it continues, take it to Apple and have a Genius look at it.

Did that, have tried hardbooting multiple more times. Still doesn't work. This freaking phone has nothing but problems :(
 
Interesting. What about paid apps? Have you tried getting one of those? Have you tried installing an app from the 'Purchased' section?

Yep, not a single thing works. I got the phone 3 days ago and it was fine until this morning, then just decided it didnt want to do it anymore. Guess ill have to wipe it and restore from backup, thankfully I just made one last night.
 
Yep, that's what I was going to suggest if that didn't work. Of course your next option is taking it to Apple.
