iPhone 5 Power/Sleep Button Feels Loose

Mine feels dense.

I have to press somewhat hard down on the sleep button to get it going

 

Mine is loose to, white 16gb. If you lightly shake the phone you hear it rattle a little bit

 

That's the camera lens and its supposed to do that.

 

Yup,can confirm. Hold down the power button and shake the phone.

 

I thought this too at first, but it's BOTH the mechanical focus camera lens and the power button. If I put my finger on the power button the quieter of the two rattles goes away.

This is a VERY minor problem though, IMO, considering the camera rattle is much more noticeable.

 

I wonder what is loose in there to make a rattling sound. Has me wonder if it's like that for a reason.

 

You know I'm also a member of the OCD about having a perfect iPhone club. But I wonder why no other cell phone manufacturer has people complaining and moaning about every little perceived defect.

 

Because they are not Apple. People expect so much from Apple so every little defect comes to be noticed.

 

Noticed the same thing on mine. Thought it was the sleep/wake so I held it down and shook and still heard it.... Weird.

 

Mine also has both rattles. The lose sleep button causes one of them and i can differentiate them if I shake the phone which my finger on the button.
If I slightly hit the upper corner against my knuckle or something I can hear the camera rattle which makes a slight different sound. (More springy type)

After 5 iPhones with snug sleep buttons why they left this one lose!?

I do feel mine is a little harder to press.. at least compare to my old 4..

 

Thanks for the link. It doesn't really bother me, just something to keep in mind.
