Finger shock when touching between glass and bezel

Alas, sounds like you will need to have it replaced. Hard to imagine it being a software issue.

I've been getting electric shocks too. I have a rubber case on my g3s and if my finger gets close to the silence button it will give a nasty shock similiar to a pin jabbing me. At first I used to check to make sure I was not bleeding from a splinter or something. Not sure if it is static but it certainly feels stronger and thinner than a usual static bolt and I could not see the bolt like you can with regular static shock.

I've heard of other guys getting shocked in the face or ear and dropping their phones. One other site talking about insurance for iphones (lol) tells of their daughter getting a bad zap in the car and she dropped the phone smashing the screen. From the online frequency of this (example: http://www.cnet.com.au/apple-warns-of-static-shock-from-iphone-ipod-339296535.ht m ) I am wondering if there is something faulty in the insulation? It seems that the ear bud shock forums would all be related too since electricity does not care how it gets out to shock the **** out of you.

Im still not sold that it is definitely static. If it is, does anyone know if there are good ways of discharging the static, if that's what it really is (im sure there's plenty of devotees ready to swear on their life it is just static so don't bother telling me that unless you can back it up with technical reasons why it is much sharper than a regular static shock, stings like a needle rather than buzzes, and cannot be seen like the usual static shock).

Apple: Since the complaints seem to be frequent have Apple actually investigated and did any testing on the internal grounding due to these complaints? If so - What was the outcome?

Apple: Has Apple checking into shock reduction if using three prong ac jacks?

Thanks,

There is no high-voltage in the iPhone. if you are getting shocked, it must be either triboelectric or static in nature. The iPhone has nothing to do with it. If you have an earphone inserted in your ear, and there's a static discharge, it isn't surprising that you'd feel a shock in your ear.
