So I went up to Verizon in Parkersburg West Virginia last night.

So I went up to Verizon in Parkersburg West Virginia last night. When I get up there I ask the nice sales rep, “hello, I was up here 2 weeks ago and they said the iphone 5 won’t be in stock till Christmas, im looking for a white 16gb iphone 5 do you guys have any left at all?” And the lady looks…there was ONE (happened to be that exact one) so I got it..came from an HTC thunderbolt, but anyways ive read a lot of the home button sticking and the purple camera thing, and everything, well im very worried mine will do that, is there any way to prevent this?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1, using iTunes 10.6 on Windows 8 64-b

Any way to prevent something that has not happened yet, and is actually highly unlikely to happen, you mean?

Regardless of what you read, there have been tens of millions of iPhone 5s sold worldwide, and those problems are in the very, VERY small minority of units.

If, and I emphasize IF you experience problems, that is what the one year manufacturers warranty is for.

(Just because something appears to be common or frequent on the internet, you cannot assume it is actually common or frequent - the internet is an inherently biased resource for such things - for one thing, all those who never experience any problems are highly UNlikely to ever post anything).

To follow up on what Michael said, Apple has great warranty service at the Genius bars. Going to one is an interesting experience even if you don't have any problems. There are probably other things you should worry about...lightning strikes, asteroid impacts etc...😉
