Hi guys
I recieved a refurb replacement iPhone 5 yesterday direct from Apple.
My issue is, the vibrate function feels and sounds "wrong" compared to my original phone. It's tinny and it sounds like something is rattling inside the phone triggered by the vibrate. The vibrate on my old phone seemed more solid if that makes any sense! If I leave the phone down on a desk I also hear a metallic type rattle.
I've read complaints of iPhone 5s rattles. Is this the same thing?
I'm tempted to call Apple and ask for another replacement. Will they charge me the €29 for their express replacement again??
