Knock on wood in Apple’s iPhone 5



Those of us in the Ars Orbiting HQ have luckily avoided most of the cosmetic problems or WiFi connection issues. For what it’s worth, I managed to carry a black iPhone 5 around all weekend without a case of any kind, and so far haven’t observed any scratching or other problems. I haven’t noticed a light leak in our white iPhone 5, either. I’m getting 24Mbps down my Comcast cable connection between an iPhone 5 and a two-year-old AirPort Extreme.

However, I was able to get Siri to reproduce the bizarre weather results; thankfully, Chicago doesn’t appear to be affected, but New York and St. Louis definitely are. And while I was able to delete iCloud backups for older iOS devices, the backup for my iPhone 5 and iPad are using 5.6GB—more than the free 5GB iCloud limit.

Are you experiencing any of these or other issues with your new iPhone 5? Tell us all about it in the comments.
