My iPhone 5S Seem To Have Some Hardware Defects

Hello, I purchased my iPhone 5S silver 16GB back in July of 2014. After a period of use I've complaining about the Touch ID feeling different then other iPhone 5Ss that I've seen and tried. The button itself is more towards inside of the phone and raddle when I move the finger up and down on the button. Functionally it works great except that loos feeling. For this reason Apple scheduled an geniusbar appointment and she said it seemed to be fine. So I thought it's okay. Now after about six month of use I found some other problems in terms of physical hardware. First of all, the sleep/wake button rattles when I shake the phone. Second, the volume button along the side of the phone seems fine accept I have to push a little hard. Those are some problems that I found, is this normal or should I contact Apple support?

I would contact Apple. The phone has a 1 year warranty.

  • Is anybody else still not able to use the App Store? I can't download nor update any apps. I have an IPhone 5 device not currently updated to iOS 7 as my partner also has an iPhone 5 running iOS 7 and it seems to have some issues at the moment.

    How did you create the account ? Unless you followed, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating an account then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

  • I've been using my Air since Sept. 19th, but I seem to have some bugs...

    But it SEEMS a little buggy to me—OS X itself; especially in comparison to Windows (please don't start a debate—I'm pro-Mac here, I much prefer it, please believe that. You'll see when you read further ahead). I adore the computer more than any I've ever used, since updating to Mavericks my battery lasts 16 hours long which is just UNBELIEVABLE. Yet then there are the annoyances that don't happen with Windows...
    Safari really bugs up a lot. So do a few other of the apps. Yeah, Apple has apps that actually work, whereas most of Windows stuff is bloatware; but I do get bugs with Gmail on Mail, Safari slowing down and having other graphical problems where the bottom or top of the browser won't show completely, all of the wi-fi problems, and now with Mavericks there are more. The biggest one is Spotlight failing. Others, SOME fixed [partially] with workarounds, are the rainbow cursor showing up all the time on Safari causing force restarts [partially fixed; still have to force start sometimes but no more rainbow-freezing, just unable to two-finger scroll], Safari Web Content taking up 30-100% CPU [fixed with workaround and fixed completely since Mavericks], and the computer itself is, while charging (or plugged in via USB; haven't checked the other ways), actually seemingly giving off some type of static vibration.
    I LOVE Spotlight and it not opening kills me. I didn't do a fresh install with Mavericks so I'm unsure what would've changed. I did the update it offered me from my computer.
    I'm really new to Macs, having only received my very first on the 19th of September, but I just adore it. The trackpad is literally the best thing ever invented... ever. Coming from using an iPad for a couple hundred days without using a computer at all, the change to using the trackpad gestures and the OS X ecosystem was very, very easy for me. I'm truly amazed at how similar OS X is to iOS. How the heck did they manage that?
    Anyway, realistically, the best bet is to change to Chrome or a different browser that may mess up and cause less bugs and memory leaks (or whatever it is that Safari was doing), but I actually like Safari and how it links up with my iPhone and iPad.
    Mainly what I'm asking here is are you guys having these problems? Also, should I stick with Safari? Is there another way to use iCloud with a different browser? Everything I have is Apple, so it's just nice having that one nice, central, similar ecosystem, without annoying and time-consuming workarounds. I love how Apple is natively configured to work with SO much (it's notification center is absolutely amazing. I think it's so cool)
    Should I really go into one of those "get to know your Mac" sessions at the Genius Bar? I'm not a computer moron entirely.
    P.S. iTunes doesn't like to play iTunes Radio. It'll stop playing and just "load" a song continually. I'll have to skip the song for it to restart playing and eventually I'll have to use all the skips for my hour and then I'll have to switch to a new station and back to get it to start playing again. I actually use iTunes Radio for a good 14-15+ hours a day (I don't sleep very much) on the Air, so this gets rather annoying. I can't recall whether or not it does this on my iPhone, which I also always use whenever I go out the door.
    Needless to say, I'm never going back to Windows; but are any of you having these same—the whole plethora of—problems that I am? It's certainly, hilariously, not enough to send me back to Windows, but... I'd prefer as "close to perfect" an experience as possible. Is this it? Thank you!

    Can you get an internet connection if you connect directly to the modem?

  • My ios update did not load to my iPhone completely. I have some of the new features but not all of them.

    I have some of the features but not all of them. It seems that the download did not complete.

    Where are you looking for Siri voice selection? It should be in Settings/General/Siri. You must also choose a language that has a choice of voices. US English and Canadian English do, UK and Australian do not.
    What do you see in Settings/Wallpapers & Brightness? You need to tap one of the 2 images to see the selections available.
    As I said, it is impossible that the installation is incomplete; you just aren't finding the new features. If you want to reinstall anyway, upgrade iTunes on your computer to 11.1, then connect the phone using a USB cable directly to the computer (not a hub), click on the iPhone's name in iTunes, then click the Restore iPhone button.

  • Why doesn't my pictures on my PC upload to my Ipad and Iphone.  Seems I have all my settings correct but none of my pictures are not showing up.

    Why doesn't my pictures show up on my Ipad and Iphone?  I have my pictures in the photostream upload folder but they do not seem to be uploading.
    Thanks.

    You will notice that in "My Pictures" folder you have a new folder called photostream. In photostream folder you will have another folder called "Upload" Anything you put in the "upload" folder will go to your phone and ipad. So just copy pics you want into that folder and they will go into photostream. I would not suggest moving them since I am not sure how it works on windows but there is a chance photostream might empty out the  folder after 30 days.
    On mac it automatically saves originals..

  • HT201401 my new iphone 4s seems to have just stopped working.

    Nothing is showing up on the screen when I touch the home button or the power button.  Could I have turned on/off a screen dimmer by chance?  This just happened out of the blue.  One minute it was working; the next minute nothing.  I haven't dropped it, gotten it wet, or anything. 

    Apple already have a position on such matters. If you have a problem with one particular service and not others, contact the provider.
    Contact Apple TV content providers - Apple Support
    However, 3 similar reports, do not a problem make. Perhaps there is a problem, perhaps there isn't, but it really doesn't seem to affect many people if there is, believe me when there is a problem it's quite obvious from the additional traffic it causes in these communities. It's also not exactly clear that you are all seeing exactly the same thing.

  • Upgrading to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4s seems to have deleted all my saved voicemails

    It appears that upgrading to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4s has deleted all of my saved voicemails; is there any way I can recover them?
    My carrier, VirginMobile, was unable to do anything for me. The person on the phone very politely informed me that all of my saved voicemails were lost for certain. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could still retrieve my old voicemails? Or, how to save them in a more permanent way from now on?
    Thanks!

  • IPhone 5 seems to have full charge but battery percentage shows 99%? It seems to be stuck at 99%?

    Ok so call me picky, OCD, whatever. I'm very "overprotective" when it comes to my very expensive iPhone 5.
    Anyway, when I charge my phone it charges pretty regularly except for when it hits 99%, it stops. After a little while at 99% it seems to be fully charged, but it still shows 99%. However, when I unplug my phone, switch off battery percentage, turn the phone off, turn it back on, switch on battery percentage again, it shows 100%. Weird, right? Well, if anyone can help me somehow or give me any advice with this annoying little glitch I'd be very happy. Thanks!

    Solved my own problem! I feel like a total idiot... it turns out that my phone just takes a while to go from 99% to 100%. No need to reply to this question, LOL. I'm so OCD.

  • IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

    I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

  • I seem to have lost most of my itunes library and cannot locate it

    I  recently backed up my ipad and iphone but seem to have lost most of my itunes music.  Any ideas

    *Most of the library now has the little !*
    That just means that iTunes can't locate the files. Have you perhaps moved, deleted or renamed a folder that contained the music you had in your library?
    *however some songs are still on one of the iPods*
    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
