I went to pickup iPhone 5 to Apple store. As I did some research, I opened box right there and lo and behold - few dings in bezel. While it is minor, I was kinda shocked to get this from Apple - it must be hard to keep up with demand and keep quality. Device itself worked brilliant and is best iPhone I had so far (from v1). Of course Apple ordered me a new one and I swapped it in two days - no scratches :) Apple care about customers and this is just a annoyance of course but I think execution have to be better as such issues should be easy to foresee - what kind of dumbass at Apple designed such a high travel area from anodized or tinted aluminum ? Even brushed aluminum could be a better solution. While most people use protective case, I dislike back - it gonna scratch like hell and looks nasty - what are these panels? Why it is not one part? IMHO - fugly, just like iPhone back was on 1. 3 and 4 for it right - plastic or glass - one smooth and good looking back, but 5 has a mess again with it ugly glass/scratchy aluminum - why, Apple? I know it may improve strength and reception but looks and design was always important for company. Oh, well, we just slap a cool case on it ;) front still looks iconic , thank you for that :)
So far, everything else works fantastic and fast - beat iPhone ever.
LTE is noticeably faster than 4G - browsing Internet is a blast and camera even more responsive - two key features we use every day. You will see less in games - Angry Birds still looks and play the same - just great :)
