    In the built in digital level I noticed that just changing the background color gives me different readings. In one view it shows me as level and in the other is shows I'm -2deg. Anyone else?

    I know about the accuracy issue but I'm wondering specifically if people are getting different reading just by changing the color.

    My first 5s was off by 5-6 degrees. Went to the apple store last night and got it replaced with a brand new one. Same color. Problem solved. Straight readings now. Must have been a new batch because it came with 7.0.2 pre-installed.

    Really? That fixed it for you? Mine is off a few degrees also, and i'll warranty it if it actually fixes it.

    That worked for me. Maybe I got lucky too.. It's hard to say whether they are all fixed, or still with the issue. Good luck!

    The level on my phone is off by 1 to 3 degrees. It is not a concern to me. It is not a feature I will ever use. I don't have any games on my phone either. Based on what I have read if this bothers you it appears apple will replace your phone. Problem solved.

    The entire phone is better actually. Apps open far quicker, the fingerprint reader works flawlessly now, etc. My original one was apparently a Lemon lol.

    For real. I've noticed that on my exchange as well. It also came with 7.0.2 pre-installed.
