New iPhone, New Issues

Every iPhone release comes with its own issues. From Antennagate on the iPhone 4! Where the metallic strip arounnd the device doubled as an antenna resulted in poor network reception depending on how the phone is held. Then the 4S had its brief battery performance flaws related to the OS itself, quickly sorted out with a software update. No phone is ever released problem-less but the iPhone tends to get the biggest attention. Why, they say it's the best smartphone so it's expected. The latest one has had mainly 2 complaints by its owners, being delivered with scuffs on the supposedly unscratchable aluminum back panel and a purple glare from photos taken facing a bright light source. Apple says the scuffs are beyond their control but that makes the metallic finish look bad because they promoted it as scratch resistant and smudge proof. Not a good look Apple. The misfiring camera on some phones is probably a quick fix for Apple, cue iOS 6.1 which will certainly look to also fix the fail which is the in-house maps by Apple. Next big device will bring its own shortcomings and we'll be there.
