Hi all,

My brother called me up last night informing me that ever since the latest firmware update to his Note 2 phone, the battery time on the device has worsened. He did a factory reset and moved the firmware back and it improved up until my niece applied the update to his phone again.

He's usually busy at work and can't spend time on phone issues or worrying about battery time and all and though he loved the Note 2 overall, decided to move back to iPhone. He had used the iPhone 4 before the note 2 and is now looking at the iPhone 5. And since I'm using that now, he called me up about it.

The question he had was about the colour. He loved the Black model, however had been warned by his colleagues that it easily catches scratches and the paint easily peels off.

I personally own a white iPhone 5 so I couldn't comment on that. But upon searching here, I did find that some users have complains about the black model catching fingerprints too easily along with scratches and such?

If you're using a black iPhone 5, how goes your experience?

Regards.
Salman Khalid.
