Are you actually having these issues or complaining about issues others are having?

I'm having a lot of issues. Unreliable data button (quite unresponsive sometimes) when I want to connect to internet. Not being able to call the first time when I don't use the phone for a while (I always have to redial to be able to connect.). Iphone 5 automatically switching to 2G (5 full bars, but no 4G or HSDPA+, etc.) although phone is always set to 3G (only 2-3 bars signal strenght, but good internet connection), after phone has been dormant for some time. In general, I have found the screen itself to be inconsistent when it comes to it's supposedly more responsive and faster app loading (it seems to me like it's running out of memory). I don't play games, so I absolutely don't know how fast the Iphone 5 really is because I can't disable the very, very laid-back zen-like-I'm-just-calmly-walking-in-the-park-liste​ning-to-the-sound-of-the-sea-waves-relaxed animation. Sigh, sigh, . . . .

Sounds like you need help. They are just phones, don't get so worked up about them.

No, it's just not any phone; it's a $1,000 phone. "Don't get so worked up, it's just a phone" really is a good advice for one who paid $100 for a phone on a plan.

Look at that, another brain-washed certain-phone-brand fanatic. I'm just stating the facts and I have absolutely no brand loyalty. Unless Apple or Samsung gives me a millionaire's retirement fund, I can't for the life of me imagine why one would be worshiping or adoring a company or a corporation or be loyal to it like it's their god. All I want is just a product, even if generic, that does the basics reliably. Unthinking, brain-washed people are some of the most dangerous people in the world. There's only one god, and it is the only one worth worshiping.

Just buy a nexus 4.
It's not too big, trust me. It's basically a 4.5 inch screen

Thank you for your suggestion.

I'll go to the store and try it out. I've discovered that it is the width of the phone that really matters to me (SG3 is a great phone but too wide for me).

I only text and call, so the only reason I like a high resolution screen such as the one in Iphone 5 (the best screen I've seen other than my previous HTC One X) is because my eyes are now deteriorating, so sharp texts make things easier.

And if it is a manufacturing defect, then its also no big deal. Bad batches do happen.

I know some ppl are getting rubbed the wrong way....but things like this arent supposed to happen to Apple. Them and some of their fans always put Apple on a pedestal.....so they should be prepared when that pedestal gets some mud on it.

That's true. I would've never even known about this, if that vid had'nt surfaced. My ip5 has performed big time, not perfect as no phone is but extremely dependable.

Could b the new incell touch screen technology. This is the first go around for it, but it'll b improved for newer devices. When I play fruit ninja though which requires the same kinda rapid scrolling it doesn't happen.

super cereal.

Yea, they had an article a few weeks ago at the unveiling about the screen tech. Its the exact same IPS screen as the i5 with the same new thin screen tech.. LG makes screens for both phones.

Here's to praying its poor iOS implementation.
We'll find out soon enough though.
Besides, if its just a super fast swype thing, its not gonna be that big of a deal.

Don't cry, there's more to life then phones you should step outside in the real world. Besides the article ain't knocking its stating a proved problem

Yea...excuse PA for letting people know about a potential problem with a phone. If it was me, I would be glad to know about some potential problem with a phone I wanted, liked, had. And if I didnt have the problem, then I'm good.

But its ok for them let folks know about problems with Android, WP and Blackberry tho, right?

Let me ask you a question....did you get an iPhone because it outsells every other handset out there....or did you get it because you just wanted one? Because how many it sells doesnt help you if you are experiencing this issue.

The point is, iphone is nothing other than just rediculously overpriced product, inside there is a buggy components, made in china. And people still buying it, as extra quality product :/ although there is a problems.
