iPhone 5s Power Button Loose/Rattling Noise

you will hear the rattle only when you shake it hard near to the ear,

Not true at all. The rattle causes the silent mode to be very noisy and not silent. This is the biggest problem. If you're in a meeting or another scenario where silence is expected, the phone is not silent because the vibration (which would otherwise be almost silent) causes the button to rattle loudly. This is a significant defect and Apple needs to address it without further delay.

Lucifer_Angel, what do you mean no one makes a video shaking there phone?.. Clearly driving and videoing with the Iphone with apps designed to do just that will cause some shaking, if you think that everyone stands perfectly still while videoing or only video with the phone in there hand then you are being narrow minded..and calling people idots for having there phones shake when videoing????

Just because you accept a fault because it has only just been noticed by YOU does not mean that others should just accept it aswell..

As for it being the same as other phones that is also total BS! ALL of my previous Iphones have not had rattling lose fitting, poorly manufactured buttons.

Here are examples... Iphone 5s..

Iphone 4s..

i did not accept the default, i return it back and waiting my money, i know what you mean and how it made me so angry when i recived and change 4 iphone and all same problem.

but what you can do in such a case? you can just accept it and enjoy it or just return it and by samsung s4.

writing here, make no sense, just we are making our selves sad and angry from inside.

Apple will never care about this rattle thing, just as one man in apple told me, keep it and enjoy it. its world wide problem, you are not the one and not the last.

So all without a sense what we write, because we all know much of iphone 5s rattle, not all, i found 3 which don't rattle at all, solid power, but i don't want this iphone anymore.

thats what i mean, you can just keep it and enjoy or return.

No OFFENSE, simply we are fighting for nothing 😟

Doesn't seem like apple is trying to fix this. However I did try the official apple leather case that did help the rattle a little bit but not completely. I am going to buy an htc one and sell my iphone. Feels more premium than the rattly iPhone.

If you want to fix the power button completely with the leather case, you could try putting a tiny bit of felt pads inside the case where the power button is. You have to cut it supersmall, and probably trim it shorter with a scissor. It worked perfect for me, so now my powerbutton is firmer and the rattle is gone. I'm happy with the result. and I love the case.

Apple Why do you delete Post's ?

It is not spam, scams, hate, **** and malware. but real comment (critical or otherwise), voicing real concerns, by real people that you shouldn't delete.

read what people has to say, if you do that maybe we go away.

So please, recover my post and put it again, in this forum

After two contacts to the number you gave me, and a registered letter to Ireland, the response was

scandalous:

"We have nothing to do with it, You have to deal with Optimus, however take note of your displeasure."

Opened a brand new gold 5s today morning manufactured in December. Not only did it have Rattlegate but even Scuffgate all over again 😟

I also used the same silicon spray as Maik_Germany about 2 weeks ago. still no rattle! absolutely perfect!

rohu 1992, and how you did it? can you give more details and explaination? you just spray on the power button or what? any details?

If you clikc the "in responso to maik_germany" right next to the date, you would've gotten to this.

U serious? I had the same problem....sent it back to Apple...and i wil get a 39 Week C3 back....that s*cks...i will look...if the Power Button rattles again i will freak the fck out. Im pssd anyway because my "broken" iPhone was a 47 Week iPhone and the "new" is a 39 Week...

I am disappointed by Apple. Thought i bought a good Phone...but i think i didn't!

Called Apple yesterday. They are mailing me a box to ship my phone out. I couldn't handle it anymore. I also noticed that my home button was becoming loose as well. When slight pressure was applied I could feel that something was loose. It's such a shame that these phones are falling apart. I love how Apple is completely ignoring this. They are a joke. The phone is so cheaply made to be so expensive. If the issues are not resolved on my replacement or whatever they send me, then I'm simply going to ask for a refund. There's no excuse for this.

So this is really normal?! I can't talk, record and this is normal?!

I contacted Apple International in Dublin and answer is that it doesnt't interfere using my iP?!?!?!?!
