iphone 5 power button NOT Working anymore.

Read Apple's statement.

"If you believe you have paid for a replacement due to this issue, contact Apple regarding a refund."

Only Apple will be able to answer your question so call them.

You can use the "assist". It's not the best answer but with a poor quality product.......

Yup. Dropped it off Monday afternoon and just got the repaired phone back today. It works great and they gave me a free battery change too. Not that it needed it yet, but that was a nice touch.

They could not repair mine, so they gave me a new 5.

Hi guys i'm having the exact same issue, as many of us apparatly and it seems to be more of us everyday. The thing about mine is that it happens "only" like 2 times out of 10, and on a daily basis it's really annoying as you probably know, but i'm affraid i'll be laughed at if i take it to an AS and they don't find it damaged "enough". The problem showed up like a month ago, and it worsen over time. I still have like 90 days of warranty left, but i don't know what to do, should i bring it now and the risk of should i wait for it to get worse ?

What do you think ? Thanks for your feedback

Very frustrating to say the least ! I posted a reply about it on this feed a few days ago (which you can see above) and today it turns out that it's completely unfunctional on the right side, indeed. But I don't wanna have to pay attention which side i'm pressing when i want my 700$ phone on or off ! Taking it to an AS ASAP. Hopefully the next one won't have the issue...

I just started having the same issue. Here's my concern: I have a fairly expensive screen protector on my current phone (Spigen Glas.tr) and hate the idea of having to buy a new screen protector (they're about $40). Does anybody know whether Apple would cover a new screen protector to replace the old one if the phone has to be replaced?

I found that this solution worked for me as well (pressing left side of power button instead of the right). I'm hesitant to take it back after owning mine for less than a year with the impending 5S on its way... I'll take it to Apple today and see what they say, then post a reply back here when I return.

Well, same is the problem with me. But I got this phone as a gift from my bro who lives in CANADA. Power button is creating a problem for me. I don't have my iPhone 5 bill with me. Some one please help.

Warranty is not international if the iPhone came from Canada it can only be serviced there warranty or post warranty

If you are not in Canada you will have to send it to your relation for them to get it sorted and then return it to you

Interesting diagnosis on the "power button flex cable". I (and I believe others) were told by Apple Store that the only solution was to replace the entire phone. Assuming a phone replacement is a much greater cost to Apple than replacement of a flex cable, perhaps we are discussing different issues (power button versus home button?). Of course, I may not have the latest terminology right anyway . . .

I have the same problem... but aparently my guarantee doesn't work, as the Apple service just wrote me an email that they found proof of watterdamage.... what is strange as I have never wattered my iPhone.... generally I'm thinking on swithching to Xperia

Mine is not working either. Though, the slightly embaressing thing is most times when i show friends it then works!

The power button not working is very annoying and you become fearful of it ever loosing power incase you cant switch it on again!

Apparently this is a common problem on the 5.

I am boooked in to see a genius at the Apple Store in the morniing, its in warrenty and they're normally pretty good about faulty equipment - one of the reasons we all buy Apple.

Mine got progressively worse over about 6 weeks. I didn't realize until I started using the new phone how bad it had been. I was so used to really having to push down on the button to make it work, I guess I just got used to it. Now, just a simple press and it responds instantly.
