iPhone 5s Power Button Loose/Rattling Noise

Because you doin it wrong my friend, I've just replaced my rattling 5s for another less rattling space gray 5s in London but in order to get replacement you have to come in with multiple problems like proximity sensor issues, battery issues ( try to make up different hardware problems) just read other ppl problems with iPhones and use it against them, I know it might sound for some of you unfair, but hey they are treating us like idiots, so I don't have a problem with that. If that doesn't work call apple and sort it out with apple care. In my opinion is better to avoid apple store because of the volume of ppl they have deal with everyday.

P.S.

I've been told that the rattling is caused by little vibrator on the side :D love it

Hi

i got my iPhone 5s champagne

and its having the same problem

i got mine on 24 jan from kuwait

really very very disappointed.

Returned my third because the headphone port hadn't been machined properly, this was frustrating as the power button wasn't so loose.

Hello, the one you are keeping now, has the power button gotten loose again after one or two days of use? Because my one has, it has gone loose again like my previous ones 😟

Hi, I'm just waiting for my 5th and last replacement which is arriving tomorrow. Only the 3rd iPhone 5s I had didn't have such a bad rattle but had a different issue. If the replacement arrives tomorrow with a loose power button I will just keep it and give up. I can use a piece of paper in the case to stop the rattle.

Hi William,

I just got a 5c in white last week. Sad to say, there is a rattle on my power button as well. Funny thing is, I went from a blue 5c (that didn't have any rattle whatsoever) to the white, because I switched to T-Mobile. They required me to get a new phone, and I picked the white, because quite frankly, I was sick of the blue. I am highly annoyed with the rattle, and not sure what steps to take. I really don't want to put a case on it to stop the rattle, because I like the feel of the phone in my hand without one. However, It makes me feel like I have a defective power button, and just that feeling irks me. Especially with a new phone. Moving forward, what did you do to resolve this issue with your 5c? I read earlier, you actually got a replacement? Did you just buy another one out right? Or did you have Apple Care cover the exchange? I don't have Apple Care for my phone, so I am guessing if I got another one, I would have to pay full price? Any assistance you can provide would be great.

I just got the iPhone 5s and the power button rattle is terrible.

When shooting video, it doesn't take much to get that little button clicking away on the audio track.

I see so many people have posted so it's obviously a common problem that apple is not willing to fix but my post is to add one humorous story regarding my experience with apple.

The "genius" at apple told me that "the official answer is that since ALL 5s phone have this button, apple does not consider it a defect.... (Are you ready?) they consider it a feature."

Explain!

"The button is to accommodate those people on the past who have bottom a stick button after sipping the phone in coffee or soda. ..."

Long pause.

"The only suggestion I can make is to get a bandaid. Cut a long thin strip and place it over the button before putting it in a case. This should stop the rattle during recording."

No... I have another solution;

I'm returning the frigg'in phone!

Why is this not a class action lawsuit yet??

Shame in apple for sweeping this under the rug.

(The rattle is REALLY bad during video recording. Test it out.

I'm returning mine.)

Purchased the iPhone 5S on 09-20-13 first day it came out. Power button is absolutely downright horrible. It rattles like its nobodys business. I've been reading discussion on here and everybody has this problem. I really wish Apple would pull their head out of the sand and do something about it.

i noticed the same thing on my iphone 5s. so sad!

Unboxed mine with same issue... I'm returning it! Poor quality product :(

My iPhone has the same problem 😟

It's so bad during video recording. Unfortunatelly, I purchased it in USA but I live in Brazil, so I can't return it. I think this isn't a serious problem, but it's annoying.

That's it! Home button better but power button very loose. I have now got a refund and have switched back to Android. The iPhone 5s was a great device but the quality control needs improving. I need a bigger screen so will wait for the next iPhone.

Here's a video of my last iPhone 5s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spLlyC-B-f0

Finally after exchanging for 13 times, I got one (64gb Space grey) with zero rattle, the button is extremely firm and solid. not rattle whatsoever, although there were scuffs and nicks on the phone, but ****!! i guess all my effort paid off!!
