iPhone 5S rattling noise

It's the camera lens. Hold your thumb over the lens and put some pressure on it and shake it. It should stop.
Known issue for a million years, but nothing to worry about.

Yeah they all have the issue. I've had 3 5s's and they all do it. Everyone that doesn't have the 5s says it's the camera lense but it's not. If they had the 5s they would know. They should probably quit responding with that answer until they get the phone themselves.
I have the 5 and 5s in front of me. My 5 doesn't do it and 5s does so I searched and there are tons of threads saying it's the lens.
Makes sense that it's actually the sleep button though
It's the button, there is too much space between the button and the case, or not enough pressure from inside pushing outward on the button, thus it has play and rattles. Two 5S phones I've had rattle, as did each display model regardless of color. Who knows if this will be addressed, or just ignored and never explained with a reason from apple?
I have the same problem with a brand new space grey. It is disappointing and of unapplelike quality.
