i don't like apple, but honestly can't see this sort of thing being a deal breaker at all....

though I haven't had any sort of light leakage of this kind on my LG BG2100, Sony Ericsson K550i, Samsung Wave or Galaxy Gio yet.

even so, hardly worth mentioning as an issue i'd think.

but that's me.

Yes it does, it is also easy to scratch. That's just the beginning of the issues however, the new ios 6 has a ton of problems too.

Maybe apple was trying to put iTorch feature in iPhone 5, but at the last moment scraped their desicion, or maybe gap was left for iHologram feature about which all the ifans are dreaming since eternity............ :)
But whatever, one thing is sure Steve jobs might be turning in his grave with furious speed, on seeing all this blunders associated with iPhone 5, first iLost by iMap feature, then iScratch feature and now ileak feature. If Steve Jobs gets one day to come out of grave, then he will surely come out to kich the A** of everyone associated with these blunder.............

considering how easily that bezel seems to bend and dent, you could probably just give it a few light taps with a small hammer and seal it up.

You are looking at it from wrong angle. If you watch correctly there will be no light ...

the best anodized aluminum device ive used was the nokia n8.now that phone was built like a tank it ..i always thought that all anodized aluminum devices would be tough, basing from my experience with the n8,(its with the missus now since she loves the camera) it often fell alot of times but up to now never had any scratches. Is the iphone 5 really using anodized aluminum?

I so wouldn't be surprised if there was a 3rd prob with the new iPhone, or should I say the D-fective phone?!?!?
Hah, I couldn't resist (BTW- last 2 words stand for the Dphone) ;)>

Instead of sending a case for losing phone signal problems... they will send it for losing screen light problems...he, he... well, if apple is cleaver enough they will promote as a built in linterna...

Hey, PA, still keeping 9 out of 10 rating?
Still waiting for my glorious Note2, unfairly rated the same, 9/10.

If Apple is going to be claiming that "never before have [they] a built product with this extraordinary level of fit and finish" then we have every right to expect just that--I don't think its nitpicking at all, as some people have come to suggest. iPhone 5s allegedly coming out of the box with scratches already present or allegedly exhibiting light leakage doesn't exactly sound like an extraordinary level of fit and finish. If the iPhone 5 is a result of "manufacturing processes that are [Apple's] most complex and ambitious" yet, then perhaps they should consider reverting back to their old manufacturing processes. In my opinion, the should've just left the design as was, slap on a 4.3 inch screen, and called it a day.
