Shake your iPhone, can you hear something inside?

You probably didn't have anything loose inside your iPhone to begin with, but since you shook it, now you have something loose...
kinda strange isn't it?

You're shaking it wrong.
Nah--no noises in mine.
I hear whiteness trying to get out.
my phone has this rattle noice and my coworker phone has it too. at first, i thought that it is the power button and then thought that it is due to my dropping it.
don't just shake it. you just hold your phone with two fingers in the middle and tap on the end where the camera is with a finger. you will hear it.

Quit worrying. There are several things it could be, none serious.
o Slightly loose buttons
o The little mass used to vibrate the phone
o Camera bits 'n' pieces
If the phone is working well, you have no problem. If it isn't, take it to the Apple Store and have it diagnosed. But I'm betting it's absolutely nothing to worry about.

I went to the Apple Store about the rattle I could hear. Turned out it was the camera assembly. Apparently this is normal and everything is fine said the Apple 'Genius'.
It is still a bit disconcerting when it happens as you think there is something wrong.

no that's OCD
see normal people when you tell them it's normal stop worrying about it, and move on to more important things with their lives
Your advise is moronic.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Following your logic, you should do nothing if your car tire is bouncing as long as you can still manage to drive.
It could be a loose cable not taped down, with the amount of shaking that just walking causes, you could cause the cable to come free and impair the use of your phone.
It's sensible (for most people) to address an issue before it becomes a problem.
Mine makes a bit of a rattle. I know in previous iPhones this was the silent switch. Could still be true.
wow how freaking paranoid can you get
do you take your car to a mechanic for every little rattle in your car ?
you analogy blows
everyone in this thread has already given the right answer, its the autofocus camera lens
