iPhone 5 click when pressing screen

Just opened my new iPhone and when looking it over I notice when I press down on the upper left corner of the screen there is a slight click as if the part is slightly loose. Just curious if anyone else has this? Not sure I really want to deal with the hassle of returns for something so minor.

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Hi Keamm91,



What do you mean by "setting problem"? I have the same issue on my 3 week old iPhone 5s Space Grey. It has a faint clicky noise on the upper right side of the phone down to the near sim card tray. I noticed it when my friend told me about his iphone 5c screen clicking noise which you can feel the big gap between the screen and case.



Thanks

THe exact same thing happened to me few days ago as well, only with the 5 so i took it to apple and they replaced the screen, but even the replaced one was making the creepy sound so i took it back again and since this was my 5th repair, they gave me a new (boxed, not refubrished) 5S, so basically a free upgrade so i dont think anybody shoudl be using a defective phone guys, just taka it bck to apple 🙂

Hi, I had been using my i5 without any problem for last one month. And today! that clicking problem is back😠. Now it has moved to upper left corner. But this time area that clicks is bigger. From upper left corner to left middle screen of phone(Covering whole portion). The bad news is that my warranty is ending on 5h july and I have already been there for 5 times. So now I find it frustrating to argue for same thing again and agian. These apple poeple are litrely fooling me now. So now I am totally hopeless for my phone. Using it as it is.😢 I hope you get replacement.

I am not having issue like distorion in music. I have problem of call sound distortion issue. But it is minimum. Main problem is that screen clicking...

Has anyone had success getting them to replace the phone after the 1 year period (without Apple Care)? My 5 has been out of warranty for a month now but it has always made this annoying click sound. I always forgot to take it to the store and have them look at it while it was in warranty still since it's usually a waste of my time anyway. They always try to get out of replacing things. I'm very disappointed in the manufacturing process of the newest iphones...My 3GS was far superior to any iphone I had after it in terms of quality of parts used...
