Has the easily scratchable backing on the iphone 5 has been sorted out for the 5S?

Does anyone know if the scratchgate issue has been sorted out for the 5S? Im thinking of getting the black one. Also the Apple site doesnt really give a good feel of what the leather cases will look like - anyone know any better sites?
What other issues with the iphone5 were there that should have been taken care of in 5S? over heating, battery, etc
Also,
I have an iphone 4 - I havent updated the ios software since version 5 I think. If I back up my phone and when the new 5S comes out I restore it onto that will it mess up my contacts, messages, apps etc? Or is there an easier way to transfer the settings and everything as it is on my current phone to the new 5S? Since its a nee OS I wondered whether the apps may end up in different folders etc.
Thanks guys.

No one here has gotten their hands on a 5S or 5C as they have not been released yet.

  • Is it possible to replace the front n back cover of iPhone 4S? External crack both the side no internal issues!!!

    Hi can somebody help me give me proper information relating to broken iPhone replacement. I don't have warranty left now, I brought it from Basel Switzerland. But now m in india. My iPhone 4S is broken or crack on both the side front n back. There is no  internal issues but just an external cracks at the front glass n the back black cover. How must will this cost without warranty in India? Where should I approach for repairing??? Please somebody let me know if it's possible to repair. Thank you

    Possible, yes.
    Will Apple do it, not a chance.
    Apple does not replace the screen on the 4S.  Apple will replace the entire device for the Out of Warranty repair cost but only in the country of origin of the device.  In your case that would be Switzerland (or any EU country as EU is treated as a single country for warranty and support purposes).

    Hello there, user10103.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some practical instruction for troubleshooting the very issue you're describing:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • The apps store icon on my iphone has dissappeared.  how do it get it back on my iphone so i can buy and update apps

    the apps store icon on my iphone has dissapperared.  how do i get it back on my iphone so i can buy and update apps on my phone?

    The App Store icon can't be deleted.  You either moved it - to another home screen page or inside a folder, or set a restriction so it doesn't show.
    1. Settings > General > Restrictions > (Allow) Installing Apps > ON.
    2. Search all Home Screen pages and inside folders
    3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

    you will have to wait until you can try again,
    i believe the only way if you don't know the passcode is to factory reset through itunes which you will lose everything from your phone if it hasn't been backed up

  • How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

    How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?  I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library.  I can click on the Music link  under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not.  I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue.  This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.

    The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC.  These we had loaded into iTunes.  I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine.  The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync.  I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again.  64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

Is there a way i can get them back as i did not want it to restore my old phone anyway! i also had my hone set up to the cloud and it didnt work! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

    Can you try to use another computer?
    If this does not work, visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place, and show them the phone, maybe they can restore it before you'll have to get it serviced.
    Did you try to put it in recovery mode?

  • While backing up my iPhone 4 with iCloud, it stated the update was completed, but I had a few more steps to follow.  This is where I messed up.  I hit continue and got stuck to choose a network.  I have Verizon, so when I selected Other, I got stuck!

    I was backing up my iPhone using iCloud.  It stated the update was completed and to select continue.  Now I have to choose a Network???  I am with Verizon, not Wi-Fi, even though we have Wi-Fi for my laptop.  Selecting other asks for Network Name and Security.  I am lost!  I cannot get out of it!

    Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
    Restart phone (you already did this)
    Reset phone
    Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    See appendix B of the User Guide for details
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
    If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described.  Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
    Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8.  It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

  • I plugged my iphone 4S into my computer for the first time and then my photos were replaced with the ones from my old iphone, how do i get them back?

    Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
    Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
    Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
    Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

    I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

    It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer.  Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results?  If so how do I do this?  Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is?  Very new/green user here

  • HT5262 My first time backing up my iPhone 4. I cannot find the page on my computer that shows File Device Backup.  I need step-by-step

    My first time backing up my iPhone 4. I cannot find the iTunes page on my computer that shows File>Device>Backup.  I need step-by-step instructions, please!

    Hey Jilleemay,
    Thanks for the question. You may need to enable the iTunes menus for Windows:
    iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
    To do so, press Control-B on your keyboard. You should then see the menubar at the top of iTunes (see image below). You can then access the File menu and backup your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
