Week 39. Reserved yesterday, collected today.

1 tiny silver mark on the front, on the flat part between the chamfers and the plastic gasket around the display (so literally, miniscule). I'd consider it basically perfect.
 
Just got my week 39 replacement.

1 chip on the groove above silence rocker and some glue or something underneath the glass by the camera... on the phone with apple now...............
 
iPhone 5 build week

Searched a bunch for this and can't find anything on it.

How do you all find out which week your iPhone 5 was built? I assume it is encoded in one of the serial numbers or the IMEI? I was just curious when mine flew off the assembly line.

Thanks.
 
I wonder if the build week has anything to do with battery life. My first iPhone 5 had great battery life (didn't get the week build unfortunately) but my current iP5 is week 38 and has terrible battery life :(
 
none will be week 1. That is the 37th week of the year, making it september. The earliest are week 33 making it August :) when production started.

Apparently not or else you would have seen the long ass thread on it already.

Ugh i hope you're wrong, my 64GB is week 38 but I just got it today so I really haven't had the chance to put it to the test. :eek:

My week 36 has excellent battery life.
