iPhone 4S vibrator buzzing

Hi everyone!


So I've just about had it with my iPhone and I'm really starting to loose my trust with Apple products. I know I can't be the only one being mad about theese cheap-built phones!


When you are spending so many money on a phone like the iPhone, it's not supposed to sound like a shaver when you are sitting in a meeting with the phone on silent!


Here's a video of what I'm talking about guys:

Two iPhone 4S side by side. As you can hear, the Black iPhone has a way louder buzzing than the white one. I've tried trading my black iPhone, but the store I've purchased it at (3 - Denmark / www.3.dk) won't trade it, they say that there's nothing wrong, but the funny fact is the one they have as a demo in the store doesn't do it - I'm not satisfied at all!


This buzzing issue is not the only problem... Poor battery life-time, yellow-tinted screens, microphone during calls that doesn't work - C'mon Apple! You are better than this!



When will Apple admit that this is a fault so their customers can get a phone that doesn't sound/work like a cheap plastic toy phone!

iPhone 4S, iOS 5

Same problem here. I wish there was a way to merge the similar posts about the 4S rattle problem so Apple can see that it is an issue. So far I've dealt with 4 Apple employees for this issue. The first, an in-store Genius, told me that since his phone also has the rattle it must be normal. The second was phone support. She told me that I was the first person to bring this issue to her attention and it definitely isn't right. She suggested I go to my local Apple store and ask for a replacement. I did, so now my third Apple person was a Genius. He again told me that even though he could hear the problem it sounded normal to him. I called Apple support again (employee number 4). Again they said that I was the first person to call with the problem. She started to suggest a restore but stopped herself cause I think she realized how dumb that was about to sound. In the end she basically said to deal with it and call back if it gets worse.


Awesome job on this one Apple. Please officially acknowledge the problem so your employees can get on the same page.
