iPhone 5 screen a clicking sound when pressed?!?!

**brendssays** · 09-21-2012, 10:39 PM

Hey guys,

Just got my iphone 5, 32gb black today and when I was going to put the phone on silent, i pressed on the corner of the screen (left top corner) it was like the screen made a clicking sound, seems like the screen was even a BUTTON. It did nothing, but I think the screen is a bit loose. (hold the iphone in your hands and press the back of the iphone and the front in that top left hand corner and tell me if you hear it click or being pushed down)

Anything like this happening to other people?!

Doesn't happen to me.

No clicking for me. I seem to have a winner for a launch day device.

No clicking for me either. Sorry to hear that your screen is loose.

**brendssays** · 09-21-2012, 11:33 PM

Thanks, everyone!

Guess I have to get back to the Apple store....might wait it out a little though.

I think you bought a blackberry storm.

Off to Apple store you go

Lower left corner of screen clicks when pressed. Could be a laminate problem or something simple like a missing screw.

My coworker was describing an issue like this to me too but I didn't get to see it in person. I also suggested that he make an appointment at the apple store.

**Redshirt** · 09-22-2012, 02:12 AM

Mine doesn't do it either. Yep, sounds like a trip to the Apple store for you.

I think that someone has slipped you a blackberry storm! LOL! I'm kidding. That really sucks though. I checked my screen and I couldn't find that issue anywhere on my own. I hope that you are able to get it replaced soon.

I just got my white 32g and it does the same thing... the only thing i can think of is that a year ago they were saying there was display issues during the lamination process and maybe this is the result even though they were supposed to fix it.

I HAVE A GENIUS BAR APPOINTEMENT ALSO ? WHAT DID THEY DO AT YOURS?( please tell me they replaced your phone)

**ozzee109** · 09-22-2012, 07:41 PM

Mine did the same in the bottom left corner. It was noticeable the first day but when I try it now it happens just a tiny bit. So I'm guessing its gonna get better over time?

Haven't been able to make it to the Apple store, however, now that I'm pressing down on it, it doesn't seem to do it anymore..guess it just needed some extra push down...if it continues to happen to comes up again, i'll be sure to go the the Apple store. Kind of hesitant considering they're still packed, and probably don't even have replacements available.

I just got my 32gb black iphone 5 in the mail yesterday, I noticed when putting the screen cover on that the top right corner was clicking/creaking when I pressed it. All the other corners are fine and you can definitely tell when you look at it from the side that the screen moves up and down when you press it.

**mitch93** · 10-06-2012, 11:59 PM

Mine does aswell, I got the phone 9 days ago and it wasn't doing it but it has only just started, in the top left hand corner as well, mines a black 64gb

**PhxBlue** · 10-07-2012, 12:48 AM

My 4S does this. It goes away with a case on it though.

**brendssays** · 10-11-2012, 01:16 AM

Finally went to the apple store yesterday, told him what was going on, he pressed it a couple of times, and then he replaced me w a new phone, doesn't click anymore!

**TalkingDeer** · 10-11-2012, 01:29 AM

My friend had the same problem. Were there this many first run problems when the previous iPhones came out?

**Jared Thurmon** · 11-14-2012, 07:47 PM

Same problem with same description. Did you find a solution?

**Alii Asim** · 03-01-2013, 04:59 AM

i just bought my iphone 5 16gb white and it has the same problem and also the lock button on the top has been pushed in and locking the phone takes a bit of an effort, it also came with scratches right out the box.
