I really dont understand what your problem is, Are you that so attached to the iphone 5 that you can’t and won’t hear a bad thing said about it, Is it hurting you that much to hear that many iphone 5 users around the world are experiencing different issues with the handset, Not all of them have issues but a percentage of them do, This thread has gone from giving individuals advise on the iphone 5 to some individuals feeling hurt and emotional because many users world wide are having some sort of issues with the apple iphone 5 device, If the iphone 5 didnt have any issues at all apple wouldnt need to roll out a bug fixing update iOS 6.0.1 under two months after launch. Hey I’ve had an iphone 5, I sent it back due to Wi-Fi issues, I didn’t get another as I felt I liked my iphone 4S better as it suits my preference better, A relative advised me that the highest returned items with his courier company is the iphone 5 after me mentioning my problem to them with the device, That doesn’t mean to say iphone 5 are rubbish or everyone in the world has problems or issues with it its just their highest returned items. If a high number of iphone 5 have Wi-Fi issues, Antenna issues, Camera issues, iOS issues etc then these are major issues with the devices affected, People are reporting some sort of issues with the device worldwide so please except it, By the way im not stupid or Gullible and I have got a life, Its just my heads not buried in the clouds like some individuals. I don’t come out of hospitals shouting out no one is majorly sick in this world when there are a percentage of individuals in this world that are, Listen to how you sound, REALLY.

It wouldn't surprise me if the iphone 5 not only was the most returned phone in the last 3 months, but also the most bought. Now if you took the amount of people who bought the iphone 5 and subtracted it by the number who returned it (and did not get a replacement), it would not surprise me to see the iphone 5 still boasting higher volume than any other phone.


With this being said + iphone fan-boi-ism aside, technology always has bugs when spread to the masses. Apple will do what it must to please its fan/customer base.


All things aside, get the phone you would like. Wait until the next model, purchase the latest model, or buy another phone completely different. At the end of the day, it's all about your choice as a consumer.
