In other words, I usually go through 3 iPhones before I find a trouble free one. My 4S is still the first one I got. I went through 3 original ones, 3 3G's, 3 3GS' and I think 3 i4 models.

I am curious, who here still has their day 1 4S? No, you can't answer if you got it last week. It doesn't even have to be a 4S. Did you keep your original phone from when you bought it until you upgraded?

I still have the same exact one from the day it was released. Although I have noticed my left speaker doesn't work properly I don't have time to go trade it in for a new one.

I purchased my 4S on the 29th of October 2011 (2 wks after the launch date) and I still have the same one.

There is no left speaker. It's a microphone.

I'm on my 3rd 4S. First one after a few weeks the volume would go down on it's own without a single button press. No reset or restore would fix the issue eliminating the possibility of a software glitch. Then the new one they replaced that one with had the SIM card issue. The SIM would be in place securely but the device would say No SIM inserted. The 3rd new one I received is fine. Knock on wood.

On my 3rd. First one the lock button double clicked many times. Got a replacement and that had 2 dead pixels. 3rd has been great.

I still have my first one, although I do get that static sound when on calls sometimes. Not enough to have me get a new one though. I will say the latest baseband update, 1.5.04, is terrible for data connectivity.

Pre-ordered our first pair (which we "returned" because they didn't arrive for a month) so technically our original 4S's were purchased and went home with us on launch date 10/14. Still have the same pair and they work fine. Only issues were not receiving all iMessages but it is an issue for both devices as well as many other iPhones in our area and beyond so I don't think it is a device issue. We turned off iMessaging since we have unlimited text anyway and don't text internationally. No problems since. :)

I walked into the VZW store on launch day around noon, no line, and had my 4S in my hand in about 15 minutes. Still have the same one, no issues. Not even with the battery like some have had.

And yea, the mic does look like a speaker. Kinda sneaky. An iDevice that got it's start as an iPod should be a little more dedicated to sound with dual speakers...
