iPhone 5 picking up dings VERY EASILY
I've been babying my iPhone 5 (black slate) since I got em, and in the past 2 weeks it still managed to pick up 2 dings along the attenna band.. very obvious cos the dings show up as silver... probably not as bad on the white iPhone...
I swear the phone has been in its leather case when not in use, only coming out to be used in my hands before going back in. My iPhone 4 in comparison has ZERO dings on it. Apparently the aluminium used in the iPhone 5 is really soft and the diamond sharpened/polished edge doesn't help. I see this as a DEFECT in design. This phone isn't meant to be used without baby gloves on... And I'm not even going into how hot the phone gets with normal usage (like the iPad 3, or worse!).
VERY disappointed... I own 1 x iPhone 3GS, 2 x iPhone 4, 1 x iPhone 4S, all 3 versions of the iPad, and now i get the iPhone 5 which is a total let-down! Yes it looks nice, but its not meant to be used... I understand now why it was unveiled in a glass case on a podium and not out of Tim's pocket >..<
Apple, i'm disappointed. Maps I can live with, cos I have every confidence you'll get it working in time. But such a boo boo in the hardware is unforgiveable. In this moment in time, you are not living up to Steve's legacy. Very shoddy and sloppy product there!
iPhone 5, iOS 6
