Overall quality of the iPhone

Hi all,
So the iphone should come out in 2 days over here in France and I am wondering about the overall quality of the device.
Being an Apple product one certainly expects a robust hardware. I have seen the screen crash tests and they're pretty impressive.
However I have read several threads concerning bubbles under the screen as well as keys from the virtual keyboard that would not work for no apparent reasons... So I have to admit that I remain a little bit anxious on those last points.
Overall, what do you think about the phone quality after several weeks/months of usage? How would you compare this quality to your former device?
Thanks

Keep this in mind:
You've come to the iPhone tech support forum. Virtually every post you see here is about a problem people are having. Its been described as the iPhone emergency room: ie If you walked into an emergency room and that was your only snapshot of humanity you would assume all humanity was sick.
Same is true of any product - if all you read were the complaints or tech problems you'd never buy anything.
That being said, most of us are 100% satisfied with our 100% functional iPhones. Mine has been great since I bought it day one in the US.

  • Is it possible to change image quality on the iPhone 4S?

    What's happened is that all images viewed on the phone used to have good quality to them (note not actual images taken by the camera but safari related) but something has changed and now they are small and poor. Have tried to research what it could be but have been unsuccessful.
    Can anyone help? Is it a possibility that settings on the phone have been changed somehow and if so how do I change them back?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • TS2776 Strong disatisfaction with the latest overall upgrade to the IPhone, including the ICal functionality and ease of use.

    Seems like every change has been a step backward. It's harder to see what you are looking at and harder to use. It is downright confusing.
    At a meeting with 6 colleges, everyone HATED the new upgrade as it changed the calendar, the wallpaper, and photo apps.  Overall there is a negative effect to the upgrade.

    We're a user-to-user community, so there's no guarantee that an Apple person will see your post here.

  • Do screen protectors ruin the quality of the iphone 5 screen?

    I have an iphone 5 and I just bought the invisible shield from zagg and I have heard that it gives an orange peel effect on the screen. Is it worth getting a screen protector on an iphone 5? I have never dropped my iphone, so im worried about scratches to the screen.

    In my opinion a screen protector is not at all necessary to keep an iPhone or iPad in perfect cosmetic shape. They are purely a matter of choice, be it for piece of mind (protection),  glare reduction (there are anti-glare types available) or easy of cleaning, or any other reason. Since you have it, you could just try it and see what you think.

  • Does anybody think the quality of the iphone 5 changers are shocking?

    Is it just me that the thinks the quality is appalling i'm onto my fourth since May :/

    that makes sense the other part is the same as has always shipped
    As above I have multiple cables and  have no issues at all
    cable is covered under warranty and if it is a manufacturing fault Apple would replace

  • Is there a way to get rid of (or hide) scuffs on the chamfered edge of the iPhone 5?

    Hello, this is my first post on these forums! I originally purchased an iPhone 5 four or five days after the release. When I opened my phone up, the chamfered edge was very banged up and the apple logo on the back had received some major scratches. Because of this, I called Apple and informed them of my issue. They promptly sent me a new phone and I sent them my old one back. The new phone was in pristine condition (as the first should have been), and only a few days later the phone slid out of my hand and onto my MacBook Air's palm rest area that was only an inch or so below it. This one little incident cause a very large scrape on the chamfered edge of my phone, causing it to be white and stick out like a sore thumb (I have the black iPhone 5). This was an incredibly minor drop and I'm very disappointed that it was damaged as much as it was. My case is in the mail and I wasn't planning on having my phone be naked, but this seriously frustrates me considering I paid a premium for a beautiful (and supposedly durable) device. So, my question to all of you is: is there a way to get rid of (or hide) scuffs on the chamfered edge? The case I'm going to be getting will hide it, but I know that it will bring the resale value in two years way down by just having this little scuff (plus it's really ugly to even have to look at when I clean my phone after taking the case off). I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem. Thanks!

    Im sorry to sound negative but why on earth would any company exchange a phone that has been dropped and as a result scuffed. Its aluminium. Its a very very soft metal. Damage straight out of the box is why thing. carelessness is something completely different. As for "take it back, Apple will probably change it" ? Do you not think these guys are getting a bit sick of hearing all this.
    Personally I like the build quality of the Iphone 4, which in anycase I keep in an Otterbox.
    This forum has some great posts. But honestly some of it is complete nonsense.

    Yes, it does.

    It does not have video at this time. This month a software update is coming out so we'll see what becomes available after that.
    3. Does Safari and Wi-fi cost anything per month etc? (With prepaid)
    WiFi is free unless the WiFi provider charges for access.
    4. Is the Call quality good? The Music player good? Applications good?
    Yes.
    5. Is an iPhone good to use in Australia? Is its internet slow? Bad call quality?
    The iPhone is not currently available in Australia and the TOU of these forums do not allow the discussion of hacked phones. If you buy a hacked phone, there is no guarantee that the phone will work properly and you will not get any support from Apple or these forums.

  • I'm looking for a high quality image of the flower in the iPhone 5 the website.

    There is a flower that is used in the apple website, for the iPhone 5. It is purple and yellow. I've been looking all over the web for it but cannot find an image of it that doesn't have a glare on it. I guess it is owned by apple, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a high quality image of it. Unfortunately it is not included with the iPhone 5.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    I see on photo to movie spec page that you can export in full 1920 X 1080 H.264 codec, a high quality format usable in FCE.

  • Will the iPhone case affects the camera and quality of photos?

    I really want to know if the case in the iPhones might affect the quality of the photo. Thus, what is the best case that suits best for the iPhone 5s?

    no they will not its about how you take photo and sometimes low lighting can also be the problem andd theres really no best case but my oppion is the best cases are the thick rubber cases so it will stick to your pants if your lets say sitting down and the thickness will add protection to falls

  • ICloud leave a bed quality copy of photos on the iPhone

    Hello,
    yesterday my IPhone unexpectedly decided to upload my photos to iCloud and leave me a bad quality copy of part of them on the iPhone.
    Moreover, I verify that the iPhone settings is OFF to the option to save a low quality pictures to make more room at the storage.
    I tried to deal with it through the settings of iCloud and I still have a lot of pictures that are displayed with a bad quality and when I open them its show a downloading icon on the right side like it downloading it from the internet.
    appreciate your assistance with this issue.
    Thanks.

    I would normally agree that the iPhone is an amazing photo carrier. The high resolution, vivid colors, and the high contrast make the photos look spectacular. In the same time the navigation and the ease of use is almost flawless.
    But the fact that the photos require such big space in the memory ruins my happiness. It would take virtually nothing to change the compression method to reduce the required space to a fourth or the current size.
    99.9% of the people would be unable to notice the quality difference between the current format and a high quality JPEG compression.

  • Is there any quality App for the iPhone 4S similar to Google Wallet or does Apple now support Google Wallet?  thanks

    Is there any quality App for the iPhone 4S similar to Google Wallet or does Apple now support Google Wallet?  thanks

    SOLVED!!!!!
    This is the app:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dictionary.appender/id650562573?mt=8
    I emailed the maker of the app and he said to just follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    File share the .dictionary file to your ipad and then add it from the list of addable languages.  It took a minute for it to show up on my ipad but it DID work.  It is working with iBooks. 
    Happy reading.
    Thanks for the help and suggestions.
