********** The all new "Official" iPhone 4S thread - Keep all the iPhone 4S stuff in here **********

The rattle is an issue that some iPhone 4 units had -

It could be caused several things.

The power button has a small metal bracket that moves from side to side. Since the noise goes away once you actually press and hold the button, my guess is that the bracket is loose or another component close to the power button is loose.

There are screws in that par of the phone which are used to secure the power button to the frame. One of those could be loose.

There is a small piece of black plastic that covers the back of the proximity sensor and ambient light sensor. It's right above the main earpiece speaker. When I took the phone apart, that part came off in the process. I could see that as the culprit although I'm not sure how pressing or holding the power button would have anything to do with that.

My iPhone 4's power button rattles very slightly when it is not in it's silicone case. t could just be the way the phone is designed.

Just tap it on the back of your hand. It kinda sounds like a loose screw:confused:

Thats not an issue, its part of the phone.

Try tapping it when focussing on something. Its a part of stabiliser in the camera or something

I read about it on an apple forum a while ago
 
Thanks for the replies regarding the SIM.

I've just picked up a MicroSIM from o2. Won't bother changing over yet as i haven't received the phone yet! Got a feeling it'll be a week or two! :(

Cant wait. This phone seems to be dying more and more everyday, and the battery on it only lasts a day, so anythings got to be better! ;)

I always thought smartphone are around a day anyway.

I would class youself lucky if you get around a day and a half of average usage and a day of high use.

My friend had sat nav on yesterday morning and by the time he got to work it had gone from 100% to 40%
 
Mine is now lasting a full day with med to high use, and has been for the last few days, so much better than it was at first.
In fact it is on par with the BB Bold it replaced.

Sat nav will drain the battery on a phone so quickly it's not even funny!

For me there's completely minimal difference between a phone with a battery life of a day, and one with 1.5 days, I'll still have to charge it every night.
 
Went into the Apple Store bought a iPhone 4s on '3' quite happy so far two issue's maybe I am being a little fussy but.

Sim Free 16GB Model £500 at least, expensive contracts yet they cannot even provide a lint free cloth with a brand new iPhone? and secondly the charger with it being on the ground it barely reaches my desk to rest on whilst charging making it quite an effort to use whilst charging depending on where I place it.
 
lol i jus reserved my iPhone 4S and gonna collect it tomorrow.
iPhone 4S 32GB white £600.
have i gone nuts and made a stupid decision? xD

anyways, i wanted to know if there was a battery charge guide to follow, so that i wont mess up the battery life of my iPhone 4S.
 
Hi guys, I want to go and pick up a sim free iphone 4s at some point today but have no idea where there might be stock. The apple store stock checker suggests that there are none at the apple store. What other places are likely to have any stock. Norwich based but im sure that we have most of the shops that might stock it.

Cheers
