Internet is flooded with iPhone 5 owners’ complaints about their new smartphones arriving scratched straight out of the box
Thousands have waited for hours on Friday to get their hands on the shiny new iPhone 5 some of them left happy some of them had a bad surprise when they got home and opened their box.
According to posts on sites like MacRumors a lot of people are complaining about slight yet visible scruffs and scrapes near the antenna markers on the side of the device or close to the screen, it appears that most of the problems are limited to the black version of iPhone 5.
‘Mine arrived today with small scratches on the right out of the box. Looks like they chipped the anodized coating putting the screen in, and there is a small mark on the lower back too, by the glass section,’ wrote MacRumors commenter spr97ajm.
‘I’m not going to worry about it, but it shows the coating is soft, and will chip over time,’ he added.
Another forum user Sick z33 said that his black iPhone also came with a ‘couple of the nicks.’
‘Will use the phone til Apple decides to release something regarding the issue,’ the smartphone owner concluded.
Longtime Apple fan who goes by the user name msett on MacRumors chimed in: ‘Super excited that my new iPhone 5 was just delivered about 15 minutes ago. It looks and feels amazing, except however while doing my typical inspection when I get a new product I found a small chip in the back bottom left corner of it.’
