HELP!?!?! iPhone 5 bending issue

Has anyone experienced their iPhone 5 splitting at the volume button and then the whole iPhone starts to bend, I honestly don't know how this happened since I keep my iPhone in a case protected,haven't dropped or sat on it.. Just wondering if apple would repair this for free or would I have to pay if so how much cause I've only had my phone since Christmas? 

Yes,
There are pic's on line of others that have experienced the same issue. Many of the pic's are excessive but it is a real problem. It has happened to me twice, it's not as rigid as prior designs. I use a mophie case now and that keeps it protected but is bulky. Element makes a thinner case that works as well. My bet is that you won't see an aluminum back on the next one.

  • How serious is this iphone bending issue

    Okay so after days of waiting for my Iphone 6 I finally got my delivery message today to tell me I would receive it tomorrow. Within moments of receiving the good news, my excitement was crushed by all this bending banter. Now Im not wet behind the ears and have been with Apple for maaaaaaany years, so Im used to the usual post launch "gating" ending up being nothing but nonsense. This bending issue however seems different. At first I put it down to people not handling it correctly or whatever but after seeing the huge volume of users posting within these forums, as well as many other Apple related forums, it has me a little concerned. Even those who were not reporting issues with there 6's and 6's pluses at first are now looking closer at there devices and noticing the early signs of bending. Is this an issue that is mainly a problem with the plus, due to its size or are both devices just as easy to bend? I suppose my main question really is whether this is all a media blowout taking things completely out of proportion is is this a real issue which a lot of users will experience after several months of normal daily use?

    I suppose my main question really is whether this is all a media blowout taking things completely out of proportion
    Does the media ever do anything other than that?
    is this a real issue which a lot of users will experience after several months of normal daily use?
    No one can be certain, but if "normal daily use" includes routinely putting it in your back pocket and sitting on it, then the answer is almost certainly yes.
    When the iPhone starts bending all on its own lying on a table overnight, that will be news. (It's happened).

    Hello nachaudry,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with audio issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Lost a shortcut for one of my apps but the app is on my phone when i go into the app store under purchased how do i create a shortcut again, pls help iphone 4

    lost a shortcut for one of my apps but it shows up in the app store as purchased how do I get the shortcut back, pls help iphone 4

    Hi newyorker2014,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. If you are no longer seeing the app in question on your iPhone, but it is showing as purchased on the App Store, you should be able to redownload it directly. You may find the following article helpful:

  • IPhone Sync issue (and album art messed up)

    Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, instead of just updating the media I have changed, it will randomly add anywhere between 30 to 300 songs that were already on my iPhone. It doesn't cause any problems with using the iPhone other then the fact that it takes a really long time to sync even when I don't change anything or add new media to sync with the iPhone.
    So far I have:
    -made sure I have the latest updates of iTunes and all software
    -re-set iSync
    -done an archive and install
    -had a genius appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and
    -they replaced my iPhone
    ...but my problems still exist. And on top of that, all of the album artwork on the iPhone is jumbled up. It looks fine in cover flow, but when I switch to the normal mode it will be the wrong artwork with the wrong song. My album artwork in itunes is not jumbled up, but all of the artwork for the movies and tv shows I have bought and downloaded from the iTunes Store has disappeared and I can't get it back by searching for album artwork.
    So, to recap, my 3 main problems are.
    1) iPhone Sync issue
    2) Album artwork jumbled up on iPhone
    3) TV Show and Movie artwork disappearing on iTunes
    If anyone can help your time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • Please help. iPhone 5s stuck on 67% battery life.

    I Bought my husband a white iPhone 5c yesterday for his birthday. Last night he put it on the charger and it fully charged to 100%. Today, it got down to 67% and hasn't moved since about 2 pm today. It's now 8:39pm. It will show that it ran ouT of battery life and show the screen with the battery and little lightening bolt. When he plugs it up it will turn right back on to 67%. We have tried the reset, (hold home button & lock button) it did not help. Now, we're trying to run it down. And it's actually coming down. We are playing music threw a aux cord, have wifi & Bluetooth on and it jumped to 43%. Does anyone know what causes this ? And what can help it? I feel awful cause I just bought the phone yesterday. And it's already acting up.

    Hello LynzieMichelle21,

    It's probably the battery indicator, not the battery itself.  Run it down until it shuts down automatically.  Ignore any low battery alerts that appear.  Then, charge it overnight with the 10W charger.  That should clear things for you.

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

  • Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

    Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

    Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
    Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
    If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.

  • Re: Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.5, will upgrading to Lion, OS X 10.7, help with this issue?

    I cannot upgrade my Mac to Mountain Lion, OS X 10.8 and cannot buy a new Mac so will upgrading from
    OS X 10.5 to OS X 10.7 help with this issue?

    If you are going tob e upgrading to 10.7 you should be able to just upgrade, and then install future updates of Firefox with no problem.

    I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
