calling all iphone 5 users
So I figured I'd make a thread and tell you about this, because I just found out about it from my mom who read it in some chinese newspaper,
BUT BASICALLY. [b]If you are having problems with your power button and battery,[/b] (i.e. short battery life and the button doesn't work) take it into an apple store and have them check it out. They're doing a program right now to replace the button or battery if you qualify. It was a huge manufacturer error and it's for the phones sold between around Sept ~ Jan when the iPhone 5 first came out!
For the button, they send away your phone, give you a loaner and replace your button/battery.
For the battery, they will order a battery and replace it immediately in store.
Good luck! I've had this problem for so long and thought it was my mistake by charging it with a cheap charger or something. I currently have a loaner phone and will get mine back with a new battery and button in around 7-10 business days
ps it's all free of charge even if you're out of warranty

Well it's a good thing I can trade my old iphone 5 in for a new one. But 5s ftw.
@katrie: Nope o: it works fine, well actually it doesnt connect to my itunes for some reason... I should probably get it checked out.

Good luck! Are you having problems?
@Lostmyjob Not sure! It wouldn't hurt to go to your local apple store and see?
this only applies in the US right?
