I was at the local Apple store to have them replace my iPad, which had a defective home button. I asked the Genius Bar rep about the rattle, and he said they know this is an issue. Interestingly, he said that this is "hit or miss". In fact, he said they had phones that have the rattle and those that don't. Either way, Apple doesn't replace a phone for this, so it's really a moot point.

A little rattle near the camera is normal. Its a common occurrence in iPhone and other phone (My HTC One does this as well). If you are getting a rattle near the middle of the phone or lower then something may be wrong or loose.

I plopped my iPhone 5 on the couch next to me and heard a very slight rattle. When I held the phone up to my ear and tapped in the back near the camera, I could pick up a faint rattling sound. As a sanity check, I did the same with a coworker's 5 and heard the same thing. Is this normal?

The lock button is always a bit loose and rattles in all iPhone 5s I've held. That's probably it.

From all of the replies here to the poor guy, I haven't seen even one straight professional answer! All of you guys are just guessing, making asumptions (camera auto focus? volume rocker? vibrating motor? bla bla bla...).
I'm not an iPhone specialist, but it only takes common sense - If some iPhone 5 are NOT rattlings, than THIS IS NOT NORMAL! Cos if it was the camera auto focus or all the rest of the BS you're throwing here to the air, then ALL of the iPhones 5 should have rattles...
Simple as that!
Stop guessing answers if you don't know...
